HRD-5 Electronic Reliability Prediction

The latest release from ITEM Software is an extraordinary collection of new capabilities that provides a customizable, cross-platform, multi-user, open frame-work. Built on proven and recognized analysis engines, ITEM QT (iQT) is a revolutionary approach to reliability, safety, and risk analysis software tools. With iQT, you are no longer limited by the technology choices of software vendors or chained to infrastructure requirements of their products.

The HRD-5 module of iQT is based on the standard British Handbook of Reliability Data for Electronic Components used in Telecommunication Systems (HRD5). This handbook has been undertaken in the light of component field performance data, collected by BT, France Telecom, and laboratory derived data.

The handbook includes failure rates for telecommunication components. It also includes reliability definitions and describes the methodology for estimating circuit reliability from component failure information. The reliability estimation will be used to:

  • Provide a basis for comparing the potential reliability of electronic equipment
  • Identify reliability critical components
  • Provide a means of assessing the reliability impact of design and procurement options

 

Open and Extensible

Focused on reliability, safety, and risk assessment, our iQT product is a highly extensible framework that provides common infrastructure for any kind of system modeling.

The capable nature of iQT is achieved by an existing Java platform foundation that is widely supported in your business environment. By following the predefined interface, your team has the ability to create plug-ins that extend the capabilities of iQT . The following are examples of possible iQT extensions:

  • New editors or viewers for a given model (file) type
  • New quantification model types
  • New result types
  • New analysis engines

The well-established core services of this platform provide the essential functionality to model and analyze reliability, risk and safety projects. Regardless of the configuration of a particular installation, the core services are available in the framework.

All extensions are highly modular. By allowing capabilities to be added to or removed from the software without affecting other extensions, new functionality, perhaps a new prediction standard, can be added without requiring reconfiguration or redesign of the source code.

iQT is a fully functional open environment, supporting the addition of third-party plug-ins such as:

  • Version management plug-ins
  • Project management plug-ins
  • Third-party computational environment tools (e.g. MATLAB)
  • Third-party modeling tools (e.g. data analysis)
  • Documentation tools (e.g. PDF viewers)
  • Search tools

Features
