Over five years after becoming aware that some of our customers had received subpar electrical testing and posting on our blog about it, subpar testing is still an issue. Since then, we’ve learned a lot more about the issue and how broad the problem is, which is why we’re now revisiting the topic. This time we’re focusing on helping you steer clear of inadequate authenticity testing. Continue reading
In an industry where parts are continually being discontinued, it is not unusual for parts leftover from a production run or purchased to hedge against obsolescence to be warehoused for numerous years before ever being needed again. During this time, improper storage and handling can degrade electronic components and impact their performance and lifespans. Since replacing these devices may be costly if not impossible, Continue reading
Advanced Component Testing will be attending the DMSMS/Parts Obsolescence Symposium being held this year in Phoenix, Arizona, at the same time and place as the Defense Manufacturing Conference. Topics include counterfeit risk management, counterfeit parts avoidance and detection compliance requirements, and GIDEP training.
We invite all attendees to visit us at Booth 736 on December 3rd and 4th to discuss how our services match up to your electronic component testing and inspection needs.
Steve Pomilio
AUGUST 2019 – Advanced Component Testing is happy to announce that Steven Pomilio has become our new Director of Engineering. Steve is an electrical engineer who has earned the respect of the ACT staff by working closely with them as a software engineer on numerous projects over a six-year period.
In fact, Steve played a leading role in several of ACT’s more recent advancements. Not only did he write the software that automatically records data that used to be manually notated, he also created the applications to control and thus automate electrical testing via ACT’s recently acquired, legacy HP8200. With his trademark can-do attitude, Steve is now focusing on accelerating the testing process while maintaining and even improving accuracy. Continue reading
