Testing for Flexible Electronics Design & Manufacturing

Dr. Bob will provide a brief overview of the best FHE testing practices used in the leading technology companies working on flexible electronics products. Common challenges observed to the development of the FHE industries is to understand the characteristics of new flexible materials, components, and systems; design and support manufacturing that requires continuous endurance testing conditions including mechanical motions and hostile conditions; and that the industry must utilize tools that enable standardized data for analysis that are repeatable over time and across multiple locations. Dr. Bob will show and talk about a selection of the latest interchangeable and modular FLEXI-award winning testing tools from Yuasa Systems Co Ltd and provide a hands-on guide to the most often requested tools that are engineered to detect major test failure modes such as elongation, delamination, cracks, tears, and permanent stretching. In this fragile COVID-19 world, he will demonstrate Bayflex Solutions’ FlexData, a powerful new remote, collaborative data analytics platform that incorporates a new systems controller, data & image collection, and easier test experimentation set-up and operation. Finally, he plans to introduce new systems and unveil announcements made at FLEX 2021. www.bayflextechnologies.com
