FAILURE MODE EFFECTS ANALYSIS FOR AUTOMOTIVE PRODUCTS, Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is methodology for analyzing potential reliability problems early in the development cycle where it is easier to take actions to overcome these issues, thereby enhancing reliability through design. FMEA used to identify potential failure modes, determine their effect on the operation of the product, and identify actions to mitigate the failures.

RELIABILITY ANALYSIS FOR AUTOMOTIVE PRODUCTS, Reliability defined as the probability that a device will perform its required function under stated conditions for a specific period.
The objective of this project is to calculate the FIT and MTBF of various components. FIT is the total number of failures of the module in billion hours. This is the unit for expressing the expected failure rate of semiconductors and other electronic devices.
Mean time between failures (MTBF) is the predicted elapsed time between inherent failures of a system during its operation. MTBF calculated as the arithmetic mean (average) time between failures of a system., RAM Commander Tool for Reliability prediction, MS EXCEL for documentation, Understanding the stakeholder requirements, product functionalities and project planning.

NEURON- IV (N-IV), N-IV acts as the center node for controlling compressor, it is having Display/Touch interface and collection node for Gate Way. The base board acquires operating state parameters like pressure, temperature and relay states from the machine and maintains the operating state of the compressor within the specified limits. The Primary requirement for N-IV is to properly start, run & produce compressed air with required pressure & stop under normal condition. The second requirement is to monitor & stop the compressor under abnormal conditions. The third requirement is to store & retrieve the data sets and other report like day report, fault reports, cumulative hours & service hours. It sends the data from various sensors to the Gate Way board which uploads them to the cloud., OrCAD capture 16.0, Mathcad tool for design evaluation (WCCA), Interacting with Client to understand the requirement, define the work process and Schedule.
