Logistics & Long Term Storage
As part of a comprehensive service to our customers, Alter Technology controls every phase of the product’s logistics from the manufacturer to the final delivery to the customer. The status of each component can easily be checked through our web based reporting tools.
The follow-up starts during the manufacturing process and components testing at manufacturer’s facilities. Alter Technology keeps direct contact with the manufacturer to update in our system the production status, the quality control and the expected delivery date. Whenever is required by the project or our customers we will articulate the needed steps to carry out at the manufacturer’s facilities an inspection before the components are encapsulated (Pre-Cap) or before shipment (Buy-Off).
For freights under export control regulations by the United States of America legislation (EAR or ITAR), we manages, provide assistance and/or arrange every needed documentation.
The transportation of goods is a very important part of logistics, therefore the correct election of both the transportation and means of protection guarantee the delivery to the customer in optimum conditions. An effective customs management avoids unnecessary long stays of the goods at external warehouses.
Long Term Storage
Alter Technology has specilly adapted locations to meet the requirements for long-term storage of EEE Components.
Our low turnover components storage guarantees full control of the conditions of humidity and temperature 24/7 365 days a year (22ºC +/- 3 ºC ; 55RH% +/- 10 ºC) preventing the undesirable effects of oxidation or ESD (Electro Static Discharge).
Alter Technology offers the service of nitrogen storage. It can be directly in dry cabinet or in MBB (Moisture Barrier Bags) filled with nitrogen, adding desiccant bags and moisture indicators.
The management of devices on long term storage is done through powerful software, allowing quick access to their location. In addition we offer stored DC (Date Code) alerts and programmed re-lifing services.
Long Term Storage EEE components We have extensive experience in EEE parts engineering, procurement and storage. Long Term Storage was one of our early studies. In 1993, in the frame of COLUMBUS project, we got an ESA contract to assess the “Long Term Storage for High-Reliability Components”. Procedures and storage area was put in place. Alter […]
The activity of product assurance (PA) support performed by Alter technology engineers is being more and more demanded and appreciated by space customers due to the high level of mastering required on components technology knowledge, space requirement/environment understanding, failure mode mechanism, data accessibility/analysis/assessment, margin and derating rules, testing at component/board/equipment level…
