Aim

The innovation consortium IN SPE will develop new solutions to the design of cabinets for electronics, a design that today is developed on the basis of the experience of manufacturers and not on basis of scientific insight.
Among other things, the researchers of IN SPE will develop optimized modelling tools fully supported by the empirical data to simulate how specific changes of the design will influence the ability to control humidity. IN SPE will also develop new energy saving solutions to keep the internal, local humidity at an acceptable level. The possibility of achieving optimized designs without time consuming physical trials will allow electronic industries to easily tune their device design for expected climatic conditions. Industrial benefit of IN SPE is expected to be huge due to the possibility of embedding “Design for Reliability (DFR)” in products to be sold worldwide”.
