BQR is a world leader of integrated end-to-end solutions for reliability and Integrated Logistics Support (ILS). Our solution approach is to help our customers be more competitive and cost effective by improving their systems performance and profitability. Moreover, our proactive approach is to increase the system’s reliability right from the design or planning phase.

New Version 8.8

BQR is proud to introduce its latest version of its integrated solutions suite. Version 8.8 has many new features, capabilities and improvements. Included in this version are two major tools: the apmOptimizer which is a powerful asset performance management tool that completely models the entire enterprise logistics.

The apmOptimizer calculates the best optimal maintenance policy for maximum availability at minimum cost. By using apmOptimizer any plant, fleet or network enterprise can save on average 35% on maintenance cost.

The second tool is the fiXtress which is an advanced Design Rules Checker (DRC). fiXtress dramatically shortens the design cycle of PCBs and reduces the number of hardware spins by validating the design and eliminating errors prior to production.

The validation is done during the design phase and includes rules for the schematics and stress analysis (power, voltage, current) on every component in the PCB. By using fiXtress companies increase the reliability of their products, improve the time to market by an average of 30%, and reduce unnecessary additional R&D cost after production.

Using Failure Modes Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) to improve systems design

Lately more and more companies realize the importance and benefits of using FMECA in designing their systems. In fact, FMECA must be included into the designer’s tools suit in order to support the new vision for concurrent engineering environment.

To support this new vision we’ll introduce a major enhancement to the Failure Mode Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) to provide more accurate, simpler, more accessible and frequently used computerized analysis tool. Click here to read the complete article.

Version 8.8 includes failure modes library for faster FMECA analysis. Contact us to learn about our unique FMECA tool.

"FMECA from BQR give an advanced solution for all Industries type".
