ZDI Enhances Reverse Engineering, Failure Analysis Services
December 13, 2021 | Zero Defects InternationalEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
Zero Defects International [ZDI] has announced the renewed and improved availability of printed circuit board assembly reverse engineering services. This is in addition to their ongoing flying-probe testing. Companies requiring legacy PCBAs which had been originally made even decades ago can use ZDI to generate and deliver the data needed to manufacture a product with the same functionality as the original.
Another related existing ZDI service is failure analysis. A PCBA which has failed functional test can usually be repaired but it is necessary to know the precise failure mode. Having this information enables repair and also provides feedback for process improvement.
