SwifTest-AQ ("Active Quality") software features real-time parts average testing (PAT) capabilities, designed to enable IC manufacturers to meet increasing safety standards and specifications for automotive electronics.
Performs PAT in real-time by calculating PAT limits from baseline data and binning out PAT outliers in real time, avoiding post-processing and subsequent delays in wafer processing.
Industry guidelines for semiconductor quality and reliability have been developed by the Automotive Electronics Council (AEC) to meet increasing safety standards for automotive electronic devices that drive the zero-defect goal for electronic parts.
Meets AEC-Q001 Part Average Testing standards during both wafer probe and final test. The AEC guideline presents a statistically based method for removing parts with abnormal characteristics— those parts that historically contribute significantly to
quality and reliability problems.
Jeff Bibbee, founder and CTO of Pintail Technologies, said, "Instead of post-processing large data files from all testers before calculating the PAT limits from the entire dataset for each test, SwifTest-AQ customers can increase quality dynamically, in real-time, and avoid delays in downstream manufacturing while also optimizing test time and capacity."
Praveen Gupta's The Six Sigma Performance Handbook gives results-oriented help with Six Sigma initiatives. Readers will learn how to simplify Six Sigma methods for cost-effective implementations and how to implement DMAIC for improved performance of Six Sigma projects
Written with managers, not statisticians in mind, this book shows readers how to statistically evaluate a Six Sigma program, identify problems and make tailor-made adjustments to get desired results and revitalize a program.
A long-time Six Sigma educator and Master Black Belt, Gupta details:
· The challenges of implementing Six Sigma in a real world environment.
· The role of innovation in the Six Sigma Process.
· A step-by-step roadmap to prevent false starts and avoid common implementation mistakes.
· Forms to simplify DMAIC implementation of DMAIC.
· Tools for solving key implementation problems in the service or manufacturing environment.
· Scorecard and processes to sustain Six Sigma improvement.
· Key factors to maximize, based on the Six Sigma SIPOC and application of theory of constraints.
· Vital Lean tools for speeding up Six Sigma.
Praveen Gupta has been involved with Six Sigma since its origin in 1986. His first project, completed at Motorola under the guidance of Bill Smith, the inventor of Six Sigma, was published in Quality Engineering magazine in 1990. Praveen has continued to publish articles, monthly columns and books on Six Sigma, including Six Sigma Deployment and Six Sigma Business Scorecard.

Caster Cleaner said to improve performance and extend life of conductive wheels to reduce ESD risks caused by ungrounded carts. Enhances wheel performance by continually cleaning the wheel, reducing the build-up of dirt, wax and residue that may insulate the wheel from the floor. Extends the life of floor finishes, leaves less marking on the floor and keeps floors cleaner.
Provides an additional electrical path from the wheel to the stem of the caster, bypassing potentially insulative grease in caster bearings and wheel bushings that may cause an unreliable path to ground.
Install without tools in about 5 seconds to fully assembled and loaded carts; provide visual indication that the carts are grounded.
