Associated Environmental Systems (AES) recently published “The Importance of Preventative Maintenance.” We’re thrilled to share this comprehensive white paper that provides insight into the benefits of preventative maintenance and how specific techniques enabled one consumer electronics company to increase its chamber’s lifespan. Rely on AES for essential upkeep recommendations and tools to keep your environmental chamber testing strong for years.
A Consumer Electronics Company with Purpose
The consumer electronics industry is growing rapidly without any signs of slowing down. The global consumer electronics market was valued at $723 billion in 2022 and is expected to hit $1,264.52 billion by 2032, poised to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.80% during the forecast period 2023 to 2032. This rapid growth and demand for consumer electronics products pushes businesses to quickly test and produce ready-to-go products, such as electronic components, including resistors, diodes, integrated circuits, and more.
One particular consumer electronics company came to AES back in the 1980s for an environmental test chamber solution. Looking for a temperature and humidity chamber that could help them test their products intermittently during fall, winter, and spring, with summer seasons off, the customer needed a safe, reliable, and effective chamber. Our latest white paper explores the various testing requirements they needed to meet and the BHD Series humidity testing chamber, also known as a benchtop environmental chamber, enabled them to achieve requirements and guarantee high-quality testing.
Ensuring Test Chamber Longevity
At AES, we encourage customers never to stop investing in their chambers. Taking our advice, the consumer electronics company continued implementing best practices throughout the years. Our white paper dives into specific preventive test chamber maintenance techniques that the company routinely completed, such as:
- Run chambers periodically during intermittent testing
- Conduct regular and thorough cleanings
- Inspect the electrical, humidity, refrigeration, and circulation system
Additionally, we discuss how the company relied on AES to complete preventative maintenance and annual calibrations. Calibration helps ensure each device remains accurate and continues to meet national and international testing requirements. As a result of the company’s due diligence, they were able to successfully avoid downtime and have continually been able to meet evolving requirements.
Signs Your Test Chamber Is Not Working Properly
