Applus+ Keystone

Harsh-environment reliability is front and center across electronics. Recent product updates can span multiple protection fronts: - Rugged connectors achieve IP68 sealing when unmated and align with MIL-STD-810H for shock, vibration, and thermal resistance—key for aerospace and other mission-critical use. - Sensors designed for severe duty carry IP69K ratings for harsh environments in industrial settings. - IEC appliance inlets with integrated filters add ingress protection (IP54) at the power entry point. - Solid film lubricants for aerospace components are engineered to meet tough corrosion and wear specifications. Why it matters: qualifying to ingress protection levels (IP68/IP69K) and environmental profiles per MIL-STD-810 helps ensure field reliability, while corrosion-resistant materials reduce failure modes that can derail compliance and product launches. Applus+ Keystone provides ingress protection, environmental, and EMI-focused test programs that reflect these real-world conditions, helping teams de-risk designs and accelerate development. Early testing also streamlines documentation for aerospace and industrial audits, reducing surprises late in the lifecycle.

Testing, inspection, and certification are central to bringing multifunction patient monitoring equipment to market. Meeting medical device compliance means proving safety, EMC/EMI, packaging, environmental, and operating performance. Applus+ Keystone supports these efforts with safety and environmental performance testing aligned to patient monitoring technologies.

IoT performance starts at the antenna. As the IoT market surges, optimizing antenna selection, placement, and integration is critical to unlock efficiency and dependable connectivity. Pair those decisions with EMI/EMC validation to control emissions and immunity early, reducing redesigns and smoothing certification; key for electronics programs on tight timelines. At Applus+ Keystone, we connect antenna best practices with lab-based EMC results to inform smarter electronics decisions.

Aerospace programs are pushing components into harsher regimes and tighter tolerances. Recent updates spotlight two fronts: specialized adhesives engineered to maintain physical, thermal, and electrical properties as temperatures approach absolute zero; and sensor packages enabling ultra-precise laser steering for optical communication where the tenths or micrometer range is not sufficient. These advances raise the bar for verification: cryogenic behavior, thermal effects on the smallest component structures, vibration robustness, and EMI susceptibility all influence reliability and compliance. Planning for pre-qualification and designing for qualification reduce risk since components cannot be repaired once launched. Applus+ Keystone’s lab focuses on early evidence: environmental conditioning across extreme temperature profiles and EMI/EMC assessment of electronics help validate design choices before formal testing, strengthening confidence in demanding aerospace applications.

Send a message to Nicolas Ouimet or David Jacobs; let's schedule a time to meet. #Robotics #AI #PittsburghRobotics #Innovation #Tech #Automation #Pittsburgh #Networking #DiscoveryDay2025

Ever wonder what keeps static from disrupting sensitive electronics? It starts with the right ESD coatings. These coatings are carefully tested for surface resistivity, adhesion, and chemical resistance, then supported through regular testing, grounding, and maintenance. When static control aligns with EMC and EMI goals, you create a stronger layer of protection for cleanrooms and electronic enclosures where precision matters most. If you want to learn more about ESD or EMI testing, connect with Applus Keystone today. #EMC #EMI #ESD #StaticControl #SurfaceResistivity #Cleanroom #ElectronicEnclosures #Coatings #Reliability

A 20 year FDA study shows 51% of all pet product recalls were Class I, the most severe category. The study also found 35% of recalls were for biological contamination.   For the growing raw and frozen food segment, these two stats are directly linked.   A "temperature validation" failure, where an insulated shipper fails its cold chain, is a Class I-level event. It allows pathogens to grow, putting pets at risk. This is why thermal validation protocols such as ISTA 7E and 7D are not just a best practice; they are an essential preventive control.   https://lnkd.in/gEQMyKQi   #PetFood #ColdChain #FoodSafety #ISTA #Recall #QualityControl
