Reliability MattersConversations with electronic manufacturing subject-matter experts about reliability, best practices, and environmentally responsible manufacturing. Author: Mike Konrad
Reliability Matters is a podcast on the subject of reliability of circuit assemblies. Reliability "best practices" and success stories are discussed. This podcast features interviews with experts in the electronic assembly industry.All electronic production segments which effect product reliability are on the table. This includes contamination, coating, cleanliness assessment, inspection, building for harsh environments, reflow, printing, failure analysis, board fabrication, and much more.Your Host:Mike Konrad began his career in the electronic assembly equipment industry in 1985. Mike founded Aqueous Technologies in 1992 in response to the Montreal Protocol and the resulting international treaty banning most popular cleaning/defluxing solvents. Mike is an internationally known speaker on the subject of increasing reliability through contamination removal and cleanliness quantification techniques and procedures. Mike was awarded Distinguish Speaker Status with SMTA in 2018 and received the Rich Freiberger Best of Conference Award in 2019.Mike is a member of the SMTA Global Board of Directors where he is Vice President of Communications. Mike is also Vice President of Technical Programs for the Los Angeles / Orange County SMTA Chapter.Visit the Reliability Matters Podcast Website:https://www.reliabilitymatterspodcast.com Language: en Genres: Education, Technology Contact email: Get it Feed URL: Get it iTunes ID: Get it |

Predict, Prevent, Produce: RoviSys' Bryan DeBois on Manufacturing's Al Future Episode 190
Tuesday, 14 April, 2026
What if your factory could predict failures before they happen, capture decades of human expertise, and make better decisions than ever before—without replacing the people who run it?Today’s guest sits right at the intersection of innovation and industry. Bryan DeBois, Director of Industrial AI at RoviSys, is helping reshape what manufacturing looks like in the age of intelligent machines.From predictive analytics that catch problems before they happen, to data-driven systems that optimize production in real time, Bryan’s work is transforming how factories think, learn, and produce. But this isn’t about replacing people, it’s about amplifying human expertise and capturing decades of industrial knowledge before it disappears.In this episode, we’ll explore how smart factories are changing the game, what it really takes to begin a digital transformation, and why trust and transparency are just as critical as algorithms and code.What stands out most is Bryan’s ability to make advanced technology practical. He’s not talking about theory, he’s helping real manufacturers integrate AI in ways that improve safety, efficiency, and sustainability.I speak with Bryan about how artificial intelligence is redefining manufacturing, the challenges of digital transformation, and the future of smart factories.RoviSyshttps://www.rovisys.com
