GEN3 Systems to Showcase Advanced Reliability Test Solutions at productronica 2025 in Munich
October 29, 2025 | Gen3 SystemsEstimated reading time: 1 minute
GEN3 a leader in innovative reliability test solutions, is excited to announce its participation at productronica 2025, the world’s premier trade fair for electronics development and production. The event will be held in Munich, Germany at the Trade Fair Center Messe München, from 18–21 November 2025. GEN3 will be located in Hall A2, Stand 511.
Joining the team at the booth will be Bob Neves, creator of the HATS²™ – Highly Accelerated Thermal Shock Tester, bringing his expertise directly to attendees. Visitors will have the opportunity to explore GEN3’s cutting edge reliability test equipment, including:
- HATS²™ (Highly Accelerated Thermal Shock Tester) – This system is designed to simulate convection reflow assembly and assess robustness of PCB and substrate via structures, offering rapid temperature cycling between –65 °C and +265 °C. It supports real time resistance monitoring and can achieve up to 1 000 thermal shock cycles per week, compressing test times by 60 – 80% compared to traditional methods. It is compatible with IPC TM 650 Methods 2.6.7.2C (air to air thermal shock) and 2.6.27B (convection reflow simulation.
- NEWLY Launched AutoCHT (Condensation Humidity Tester) – The world’s first platen based system that generates a controlled condensation layer on test boards during Damp Heat testing. It allows the test board temperature to be adjusted independently of the chamber environment, with precision to 0.1 °C, and at least 1 °C below the dew point. The AutoCHT is fully integrated with the AutoSIR2+ system, enabling real time monitoring of moisture effects on board designs, spacings and coatings—ideal for characterising conformal coating defects, electrochemical migration and other moisture driven failure mechanisms.
- AutoSIR2+ –Award winning Surface Insulation Resistance Tester.
- CM Series – Ionic Contamination Tester with dual capability for both PICT & ROSE Testing.
This showcase underscores GEN3’s commitment to delivering advanced solutions for accelerated reliability testing, enabling engineers and manufacturers to ensure product quality and long term performance across industries such as aerospace, defence, medical and electronics manufacturing.

Unlocking the Promise of AI in Electronics Manufacturing
10/29/2025 | Shobhit Agrawal, Keysight TechnologiesThe electronics manufacturing industry is rapidly evolving as more complicated products are introduced in the production lines, which require technological advancements even in the production processes. The requirements for production that is efficient, product quality that is greater, and product life cycles that are shorter are more crucial than ever before. In the electronic device life cycle, from design to maintenance, test phases have a significant impact on the economy of the company. Test processes are closely linked to the production volume and impacted by the complexity of the product. For businesses to maintain their competitive edge, they need to adopt innovative solutions and redefine processes.
