RTI Teams with Railways and Suppliers to Advance the Safe Computing Platform for Future Rail Operation
The railway sector in Europe is on the verge of its largest technology leap in history. Real- Time Innovations brings extensive experience in communications for the rail systems market. RTI Connext® enables intelligent information exchange from onboard and remote applications, resulting in an efficient, scalable, and future-proof data processing infrastructure.
Besides the introduction of enhanced Control Command and Signaling (CCS) approaches and novel technologies, it is necessary to design the appropriate IT platforms for future rail operation. The railway initiatives Reference CCS Architecture (RCA) and Open CCS Onboard Reference Architecture (OCORA) started working on a Safe Computing Platform concept in 2020. The railways and industry players DB Netz AG, duagon AG, Nederlandse Spoorwegen, Real-Time Innovations (RTI), SBB, Siemens Mobility GmbH, SNCF Voyageurs, SNCF Reseau, SYSGO GmbH, Thales and Wind River have now teamed up to jointly develop a first version of the possible API between railway applications and the Safe Computing Platform.

Omron Electronic Components launches enhanced, faster global website
Features include improved search and purchase capabilities, customisation plus fast access to technical information
Customers of Omron Electronic Components Europe can now find technical information and order the components they need faster, thanks to the company’s newly launched global website.
Omron has completely rebuilt the online presence of its Electronic Components Business, as Mariann Nagy, Marketing Communications Manager at Omron explains, “It is
common practice for corporations to renew their websites every 2-3 years to keep their audience engaged with the brand. However, the changes we are announcing today are much more than a visual design update. They are a complete renewal of the site from the ground up to better address what visitors need from Omron online today.”

Tell me about test strategy!
Test Strategy for Assembled Printed Circuit Boards How do you (as OEM) keep the quality and costs of your (outsourced) production under control in today’s miniaturization of electronics? Testing today’s electronics, where not all nets can be provided with test points, is becoming increasingly difficult or even impossible using traditional test methods. But the production chain also raises new questions. How do you keep track of what is being produced for you and what can you do, for example, to relieve your EMS partner and find solutions together? This process starts in the design phase of your electronics with the definition of a suitable test strategy. Already in this phase it is important to analyze which test methods can help you to achieve the desired quality and the associated fault coverage. This knowledge helps you to coordinate the test options with the manufacturer of your electronic assemblies.
Testing Methods
Three different fault detection methods (Inspection Techniques, Structural Testing and Functional Testing) can be used together to achieve a fault coverage such that no PCBA leaves the factory with a manufacturing defect or functional fault. When developing a test strategy, many factors must be considered to determine which test and inspection methods will be used. The goal is to maximize the fault coverage, but not always at any cost.
Inspection and Electrical Test Inspection techniques are part of the assembly process and are implemented in different ways
at different factories. The minimum requirement is visual inspection by the operating personnel (human eye). While for higher volumes this inspection is automated using AOI (Automated Optical Inspection) or X-Ray systems.

In addition to the inspection, an electrical test is needed to find any faults in the assembly. Here some questions need to be answered: What type of testing should be done – Structural only or Functional or both? Who is responsible for the development of the tests and where will the tests be performed later – in the factory or in case of contract manufacturing (EMS or CM) at the OEM?
