DfR Solutions at Avionics Maintenance Conference in Anchorage, AK: April 30-May3

Walt Tomczykowski and Craig Hillman will be attending this critical industry conference and presenting case studies on how DfR's Sherlock software could have been used to avoid or mitigate many of the issues identified and discussed by the conference attendees.

DfR's Walt Tomczykowski gives a webtorial on Sherlock & Planned Maintenance on April 19, Noon EDT

Walt Tomczykowski will be conducting a webtorial entitled "What Can Sherlock Do For You-Planned Maintenance? For more information on this informative event please contact Walt Tomczykowski.

DfR Solutions' Sherlock Helps Eliminate Pad Cratering

Tired of breaking components during Bed of Nails In-Circuit Testing (ICT)? DfR's Automated Design Analysis Tool, Sherlock, now provides an elegant solution to this consistent design for manufacturability (DfM) problem. Within a matter of minutes, test points, components, and supports can be arranged and located to minimize board flexure and effectively eliminate pad cratering or solder joint cracking. For more information, contact Tom O'Connor.

Record Attendance at DfR's "Modeling and Simulation in Electronic Packaging" Course

A packed audience at the 2011 Electronic Packaging and Technologies Conference listened to Craig Hillman provide a comprehensive understanding on how to model and simulate the reliability of the latest semiconductor packaging technologies, including copper wire bonds, through silicon vias (TSV), package on package (PoP), and low glass transition temperature (Tg) underfill. For more information on how DfR is driving modeling and simulation (M&S) to the common engineer, please contact Nathan Blattau.

DfR and ISD Italia Partner on Sherlock

DfR is proud to announce that ISD Italia, a leading supplier of software solutions for the electronics industry, will be supporting Sherlock sales and services in Southern Europe and Mediterranean region. For more information, please contact Stefano Barbati.

Minnetronix Using DfR's Sherlock ADA Software

Minnetronix, a medical electronics and lifesciences design, development and manufacturing company has selected DfR's Sherlock ADA software to enhance the reliability of their Class III cardiovascular and monitoring systems. Rarely can medical electronics manufacturers afford to build the number of modules required for full reliability testing and Sherlock provides a means to analyze the thermal and mechanical stresses on an assembly and improve the design without repeated reliability testing. For more information on Sherlock, please contact Ed Dodd, edodd@dfrsolutions.com.

Sherlock Wins 2011 PCD&F New Product Innovation (NPI) Award

On the market for only six (6) months and Sherlock has already been recognized for its innovative and unmatched capabilities by one of the most prestigious publications in the electronics marketplace, PCD&F Magazine. DfR is proud to be one of the few companies to have ever received this award and is looking forward to continuing to increase Sherlock's rapidly expanding user base.

Now we can predict the future!

Learn how to ensure the 25 year lifetime of your products. Meet Greg Caswell at the Solar Power International Conference in Dallas!

Imagine being able to predict product reliability 25 years into the future! Solar panels and their components are exposed to extreme environmental conditions during their lifetime. How can you ensure that your solar power module will be performing reliably all that time?


Sherlock Automated Design Analysis™ by DfR Solutions, predicts the expected reliability of products at the circuit card assembly level, helping you ensure that the expected life of your products meets your customers' requirements. Before a circuit board is ever built, Sherlock can predict failure due to thermal stresses, vibration, and shock, saving you time, money, and extending your product lifetime.

Schedule a meeting with Greg to learn how Sherlock can help predict your future!
