Back to Factorio. Last time, I came within one inserter of setting up nuclear power before noticing that my other solutions had finally brought the factory to a decent equilibrium. This time, I'm making green chips. After some uneventful building, I throw together this prototype.

Very simple; separate train stations for the two inputs, and a belt of output that would go to its own separate station. But that single belt of output is kind of a problem. It can only carry a couple dozen assemblers' worth of green circuits, and if I want this one outpost to make a significant fraction of the circuits I'll need once I start plowing down the tech tree, I need way more. I think I'll aim for four belts of green chips.

Cool, but new problem: Input. Four belts of chips require four belts of iron and six belts of copper. Well, a little less with productivity modules, but not whole belts less. I can't build this as one big line. I have to build it as three little lines.

Well, "little" is perhaps not the right word here. Three sets of eighteen chip assemblers, compared to the five I had in my starter base. My bots are busy.

Wait a second. That's a lot of bots.

Oh, there goes my power again. But on closer inspection, this has less to do with bots charging than it does with coal vanishing, due to the coal train getting stuck at the mines.

After like an hour of messing around with train signals, redesigning intersections trying to figure out what screwed-up rail code is causing these problems...I realize a couple of rail segments in a curve are missing. Pretty much invisible to human eyes. Ugh.

...

That's where I logged off for the night, and thank goodness for this self-inflicted log forcing me to keep track of what I was doing, because a bunch of real-life stuff kept me from playing Factorio for several months. But now I'm back, and I have a log of what I was trying to do back in March. I started by making sure the coal-fired boilers were back online (getting there), and I noticed something I'm pretty sure is a visual bug.

I think the solar panels are casting shadows on the belt despite A. the presence of a light source on the other side of the belt and B. the fact that it's the middle of the night. Also the shadowed plastic looks too dark either way, especially with the normal plastic next to it.

Anyways, just two paragraphs after thanking March Me for his brilliant foresight, I have to curse him for his stupidity. Apparently he either never set up automated long-handed inserters and assembling machines, or tore it down when he started disassembling the starter base. Foolish either way.

Once I rectified that with a bit of spaghetti stapled onto the starter base, I realized I needed a lot of power poles for the new chip build, and also that I only automated the big ones. But that means I had everything for medium poles in one spot, and I just needed a little spaghetti to get everything into place.

Word of advice: Don't play with the Renai Transportation mod if you don't want to face constant spaghetti temptation. And if you do, make sure not to power thrower inserters until they're set properly.

Anyways, in the time it took to set that up and take the provided poles to power the new build, all the assemblers and inserters were pretty much produced. And in the time it took to figure out the Screenshot Toolkit, they were delivered.

All I need to do is get the trains set up.

Iron is easy enough; I've already got an iron train running from the iron mines to the starter base, so I just tweak its schedule so it switches between supplying the starter base and the circuit station.

I don't have anything like that for copper; the starter base is still running off the, um, two mining drills which still have ore. About 5,000 between them when I checked, one of which should last a bit less than an hour, the other almost two hours. Hm. Maybe I should have set up something for getting copper to the starter base.

I didn't, though. I didn't even get copper delivered to the circuits. That's because of a terrible mistake I made when setting up the copper mine's loading station.

Whichever way I curve this track, it runs into cliffs. That's what cliff explosives are for, but I never researched cliff explosives. And I tore down my starter base's labs ages ago.

Next time, I will do one of three things:

Find some fortuitous route between cliffs that gets me out of this mess

Set up temporary labs to research cliff explosives, and also temporary cliff explosives production

Move the station five meters to the right

I should probably also do something about our copper situation.

IBM Maximo AWS Deployment Strategies

The Business Value of IBM Maximo, a recent IDC report that surveyed 9 companies with an average of 8,500 employees, found that adopting IBM Maximo resulted in a business benefit of USD 14.6 million per year per organization, 43% less unplanned downtime, and USD 8.6 million in total equipment cost avoidances.

One comprehensive, cloud-based application platform for asset monitoring, management, predictive maintenance, and reliability planning is IBM Maximo Application Suite (MAS). Maximo optimizes performance, extends asset lifecycles, and reduces downtime and costs for high-value assets using AI and analytics. Hosting Maximo on a scalable infrastructure maximizes performance, hence the current tendency is to shift it to the cloud. In this trip, MAS migration and deployment on AWS Cloud are gaining popularity.

The growing demand for Maximo AWS Cloud migration

Migrating to cloud helps enterprises improve operational resilience and dependability while updating software with minimal effort and infrastructure constraints. Due to the growing demand for data-driven asset management, firms must aggregate data from diverse departments to identify trends, generate predictions, and make better asset management decisions.

Last April, IBM said Maximo 7.6 and add-on support would stop in September 2025. All Maximo EAM customers must upgrade to the latest cloud-based MAS. Maximo migration and modernization are become increasingly significant to clients.

IBM has released new containerized versions of Maximo Application Suite as a Service (MAS SaaS) on AWS Marketplace with Bring Your Own License (BYOL) to assist Maximo migration to AWS. MAS SaaS on AWS is another milestone in Maximo’s integration of Monitor, Health, and Visual Inspection into a unified suite.

What makes MAS SaaS distinct

IBM Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) specialists use best practices to continuously maintain and administer MAS SaaS, a subscription-based AWS service. This partnership gives customers an industry-leading IBM asset management system underpinned by AWS’s size, agility, and cost-efficiency.

Upgrades and migrations to MAS 8 are possible with MAS SaaS. The data update is similar to prior upgrades, but ROSA and other dependencies require architecture changes. The migration is comparable to how clients transitioned from on-premise to Maximo EAM SaaS Flex, but with MAS changes. Perpetual on-premises customers would stop paying Service & Support (S&S) and purchase a SaaS subscription, on-premises Subscription License customers would start a new subscription, and existing MAS Flex and MAS Managed Service customers would start a new subscription to migrate to MAS SaaS.

Our IBM Consulting Cloud Accelerator (ICCA) technology lets firms plan migration and upgrade strategies before investing.

Maximo migration strategy of a global energy firm

IBM worked closely with an energy company confronting the following challenges:

Infrastructure needed for latest Maximo version takes longer.

WebSphere, Maximo’s core, experienced high-availability and performance difficulties.

Lack of data fabric and integration layer hinders cross-application data interchange.

Complex setup, failures, and security with manual end-to-end deployment.

Since Maximo Application Suite 8 (MAS8) tackles industry issues like failure risk, escalating maintenance costs, sustainability, and compliance laws, the customer chose it. The client chose AWS Cloud for its deployment flexibility, scalability, high availability, and secure architecture. 

Approach to solution

This is how IBM accelerated the energy company’s Maximo move to AWS:

Used Infra as a code to upgrade Maximo from 7.6.0.9 to 7.6.1.2.

IaC allowed instance spin-up for auto scaling. This automation reduces the time to spin up and execute the new environment and addresses multi-AWS availability zone deployment latency.

Used AWS DMS for data migration and schema conversion.

IaC spun the DR environment on demand to reduce database replication (DR) infrastructure and expense. DR capabilities update data in availability zone and DR area.

Achieved data exchange across applications using IBM Cloud Pak for Data and standardized integration using IBM Cloud Pak for Integration components.

Solution components

Maximum Enterprise Application Management (EAM) has a 3-tier design with these components:

HTTP/Web Tier and Application Tier using IBM WebSphere and HIS installed EC2 instance under private subnet for application security.

Database Tier uses AWS Oracle RDS with replication for DR under private subnet.

AWS best practices were used to configure VPC with public and private subnets.

Application servers and deployment manager were autoscaled by Auto Scaling Group. 

Maximum web-based UI resolution for external access using AWS Route 53.

WAF was the initial line of defense against web exploits.

Integration of Terraform and CFT IaC scripts provided autoscaling architecture.

AWS Reference Architecture

Max on RedHat OpenShift Service on AWS (ROSA) helps clients

Containerized MAS 8.0 runs on RedHat OpenShift. AWS, IBM, and RedHat developed an IBM MAS on ROSA reference architecture to help customers inexperienced with production containerization. ROSA, a fully managed, turnkey application platform, supports IBM MAS configuration and offloads cluster lifecycle management to RedHat and AWS, allowing organizations to focus on application deployment and innovation. This means IBM MAS clients don’t need to develop, administer, or maintain RedHat OpenShift clusters.

Operating Model and Maximo Migration

Top 3 Maximo AWS migration accelerators

Clients can migrate to the cloud using three IBM MAS deployment methods on AWS Cloud:

ROSA-powered MAS SaaS on AWS

ROSA-powered AWS MAS

Customer-hosted ROSA

Why use customer-hosted ROSA

The customer-hosted ROSA option for hosting IBM MAS in a customer’s VPC with ROSA is powerful. ROSA is perfect for MAS deployments because it seamlessly deploys, scales, and manages containerized applications.

The benefits of this choice are enormous. Full control over the infrastructure while still subject to the organization’s monitoring, controls, and governance standards allows businesses to customize and adjust the environment to their needs. This control includes adding MAS integrations and enforcing cloud security and governance requirements. ROSA charges are combined into one AWS bill and drawn from any AWS enterprise agreement, simplifying financial management.

AWS enterprise agreements and Compute Savings Plans offer infrastructure savings for MAS implementations. Because the ROSA cluster operates under the customer’s AWS account, customers can buy upfront ROSA contracts and get a one-year or three-year ROSA service charge discount.

Why IBM for Maximo AWS migration?

Any modernization effort must include cloud migration. Cloud migration is not a one-size-fits-all method, and each organization faces unique cloud adoption difficulties.

IBM Consulting’s Application Modernization offering helps clients migrate and modernize AWS applications faster, cheaper, and more efficiently, reducing technical debt and accelerating digital initiatives while minimizing business risk and improving business agility.

Boost SMT Quality with Automated Optical Inspection

Surface Mount Technology (SMT) has become the backbone of modern electronics manufacturing. As circuit boards grow more complex and component sizes continue to shrink, maintaining production quality has become more challenging. To address this, manufacturers rely on SMT automated optical inspection systems to enhance efficiency and ensure product reliability.

What Is SMT Automated Optical Inspection?

SMT automated optical inspection (AOI) is a high-speed visual inspection process used to verify the placement, alignment, and soldering of components on a printed circuit board (PCB). Using high-resolution cameras and advanced image processing algorithms, AOI systems scan each board for potential defects during or after assembly.

By catching issues early, these systems reduce rework, prevent defective units from moving forward, and increase yield rates. AOI is typically deployed at multiple points in the production line, including:

Post-solder paste inspection

Pre-reflow inspection

Post-reflow inspection

Each inspection stage targets specific issues such as insufficient solder, component misalignment, or solder bridging.

Why SMT AOI Is Critical to Electronics Manufacturing

The electronics industry demands tight tolerances and minimal defect rates. Even a single misplaced component can lead to product failure. Here's how SMT automated optical inspection supports manufacturing excellence:

1. Enhanced Accuracy

Automated inspection provides greater consistency than manual methods. It can detect:

Incorrect component orientation

Missing components

Cold solder joints

Tombstoning and lifted leads

These defects are often too subtle or time-consuming to spot with manual inspection.

2. Real-Time Feedback

Modern AOI systems integrate seamlessly into SMT lines, providing real-time defect detection and process feedback. When an issue is identified, operators receive alerts to make immediate adjustments. This minimizes downtime and material waste.

3. Scalable Performance

As demand increases, manual inspection becomes a bottleneck. AOI systems handle high-speed production environments with ease, inspecting hundreds of boards per hour without sacrificing accuracy. This makes SMT automated optical inspection ideal for both high-volume and high-mix production lines.

Benefits of Implementing AOI in SMT Production

Investing in AOI provides a range of tangible benefits:

Improved Product Quality: Early detection leads to fewer returns and better customer satisfaction.

Lower Operational Costs: Reducing scrap and rework translates to cost savings.

Faster Time to Market: Streamlined inspection accelerates the production cycle.

Compliance and Traceability: AOI systems often include data logging and defect classification features, aiding in quality audits and process optimization.

Common Defects Detected by SMT AOI

Effective inspection covers a wide array of potential issues, including:

Component misplacement

Solder bridges

Open circuits

Polarity errors

Solder balling

Insufficient or excessive solder

With high-resolution imaging and intelligent algorithms, AOI tools identify and classify these defects rapidly and with minimal human oversight.

Integrating AOI with Other SMT Equipment

For optimal results, AOI should be part of a fully integrated SMT inspection strategy. When combined with solder paste inspection (SPI) and X-ray inspection, manufacturers gain a full view of the assembly process. This layered approach ensures each stage is validated before moving to the next.

For instance, SPI evaluates solder paste deposition before components are placed, while AOI checks component placement and solder joints. In cases where defects may be hidden (like under BGAs), X-ray inspection complements AOI to provide a complete defect profile.

Choosing the Right AOI System

Selecting an appropriate AOI solution depends on several factors:

Board complexity

Component density

Production volume

Required inspection speed

Advanced AOI systems offer features such as 3D imaging, machine learning algorithms, and intuitive software interfaces. These innovations reduce false calls, simplify programming, and improve inspection reliability.

Reliability and Testing of Rigid-Flex PCBs: Ensuring Long-Term Performance

Rigid-Flex PCBs are widely used in high-reliability applications such as aerospace, medical devices, military electronics, and automotive systems. These boards are exposed to constant vibration, repeated bending, temperature fluctuations, and complex assembly conditions. Therefore, reliability testing is a critical step in the design and production process to ensure long-term functionality.

This article outlines key reliability factors and common test methods used for evaluating Rigid-Flex PCBs.

Why Rigid-Flex Reliability Is Challenging

Unlike traditional rigid boards, Rigid-Flex PCBs combine materials with different mechanical properties (e.g., FR-4 and polyimide) in a single laminated structure. This introduces challenges such as:

Mechanical stress concentration in bending zones

Mismatch in thermal expansion (CTE) between rigid and flexible areas

Potential delamination during reflow or operation

Higher risk of trace cracking in dynamic-flex zones

A failure in even a single flex section can lead to total product failure — especially in critical applications where repair is not possible (e.g., implantable medical devices or aerospace systems).

Key Reliability Factors

1. Dynamic Bending Fatigue

Rigid-Flex boards are often designed to bend repeatedly during use. Poor material selection or trace layout can cause copper cracking or delamination over time.

Solution: Use rolled-annealed copper, proper bend radius (≥10x thickness), and optimized trace routing.

2. Thermal Cycling and Shock

During operation or assembly, the PCB may experience sharp temperature changes (e.g., from -40°C to +125°C), causing expansion and contraction of different materials.

Solution: Choose materials with compatible CTE, and use high-Tg laminates.

3. Moisture Resistance

Exposure to humidity can lead to resin swelling, delamination, and corrosion over time.

Solution: Use polyimide-based flex cores and perform pre-bake before reflow to remove residual moisture.

Common Reliability Test Methods

1. Bending Cycle Test (Dynamic Flex Test)

Simulates repeated folding/unfolding of the flex section. Boards are bent thousands to millions of times at defined radii and speeds.

Evaluates copper fatigue and mechanical durability

Often required for wearable electronics or foldable devices

2. Thermal Cycling Test

PCBs are exposed to repeated temperature changes (e.g., -55°C to +125°C) for hundreds of cycles.

Detects micro-cracks, delamination, and solder joint failure

Used to verify performance under real-life temperature fluctuations

3. Peel Strength Test

Measures the bonding strength between copper and the dielectric substrate (usually in the flex area).

Helps identify weak adhesive systems or poor lamination quality

4. IPC 6013 & IPC-2223 Compliance

These are industry standards that define quality and reliability expectations for Rigid-Flex PCBs.

Class 2 (General electronic products)

Class 3 (High reliability, e.g. aerospace/medical)

5. Solderability Testing

Verifies that the surface finish (ENIG, OSP, etc.) maintains good solderability after storage or thermal aging.

6. Delamination Inspection (TMA, Cross-section, or X-ray)

Checks for layer separation, resin voids, or trapped air bubbles, especially at rigid-flex transition zones.

In-Process Testing and Quality Control

During manufacturing, the following checks help prevent defects early:

AOI (Automated Optical Inspection) for outer layer pattern

X-ray inspection for BGA pads or internal vias

Flying probe or electrical testing for continuity and shorts

Visual inspection of flex transition areas and coverlay alignment

Dimensional checks to confirm outline and cutout accuracy

Final Thoughts

Rigid-Flex PCBs deliver powerful benefits in compact, high-reliability applications — but only if designed and tested properly. From dynamic flexing to thermal endurance, these boards must survive complex real-world stresses over long periods.

By implementing comprehensive testing protocols and selecting materials and structures with proven reliability, manufacturers and engineers can ensure that their Rigid-Flex products meet the highest standards of performance and safety.

When the harsh winter season arrives, properties face serious challenges from snow accumulation and icy conditions. Businesses must prepare early and rely on dependable commercial snow removal services to avoid disruptions and hazards. Alongside this, maintaining the overall appearance and functionality of a property year-round becomes vital. This is where full-service property maintenance proves essential. Combining both these services ensures your premises remain safe, clean, and professional-looking no matter the weather.

Investing in commercial snow removal services isn't just about clearing paths. It’s about preventing liability, ensuring employee and customer safety, and keeping operations running without delays. Snow and ice can cause slip-and-fall accidents, vehicle damage, and accessibility issues. By securing professional services early, businesses avoid these risks and demonstrate a commitment to safety and care. Equally, full-service property maintenance isn’t limited to landscaping or small repairs—it’s a complete solution designed to manage the aesthetics and performance of your property through every season.

Winter requires a unique level of attention. Accumulated snow isn't just a visual inconvenience; it can cause serious structural problems if left unchecked. Roof collapses, blocked emergency exits, frozen pipes, and damaged walkways are real concerns. This is where experienced providers of commercial snow removal services come in. Their proactive response, advanced equipment, and skilled teams ensure your property remains functional and secure even in the heaviest storms.

But snow is just one part of the challenge. Your property still needs to look presentable, organized, and welcoming. Regular inspections, cleaning, repair work, and groundskeeping are all covered under full-service property maintenance. These services not only boost curb appeal but also preserve the value and longevity of your assets. A well-maintained building reflects positively on your brand and sets a professional tone for everyone who visits.

Working with a company that offers both commercial snow removal services and full-service property maintenance provides a seamless solution. There’s no need to coordinate between multiple vendors or worry about scheduling conflicts. A dedicated provider handles everything from plowing and salting to landscaping and facility repairs. This single-source approach improves efficiency and communication, delivering better results overall.

Consider the long-term benefits: consistent maintenance prevents costly emergency repairs and reduces the likelihood of accidents. Regular snow removal limits surface wear and tear, while timely landscaping or drainage work prevents erosion or water damage. It’s about proactive care, not just seasonal reactions. When property needs are handled comprehensively, business owners gain peace of mind and more time to focus on growth and strategy.

Technology has also transformed how these services are delivered. Real-time weather tracking, route optimization software, and automated maintenance schedules are now integrated into the best service plans. With this innovation, service providers can react faster and more accurately, tailoring their efforts to meet each client’s specific property and weather-related needs. This makes the services more effective and cost-efficient.

For property managers and business owners in search of quality and reliability, opwsolutions.com stands out by offering both commercial snow removal services and full-service property maintenance. Their tailored programs ensure that every square foot of your property is ready to handle seasonal demands. With trained professionals and industry-standard equipment, they deliver consistent quality with a personal touch.

What sets opwsolutions.com apart is their commitment to long-term relationships. Rather than providing a one-time fix, they work with clients year after year, understanding each property’s unique requirements and refining their services accordingly. This builds trust and guarantees results that meet the highest standards.

Ultimately, smart property care goes beyond winter. By combining both commercial snow removal services and full-service property maintenance into one cohesive plan, businesses safeguard their investments and uphold a high standard of presentation and safety. Choosing the right partner to handle these responsibilities can make a significant difference in both performance and reputation throughout the year.

Bespoke gates offer limitless possibilities, from intricate wooden carvings to sleek metal patterns, tailored to complement the home’s architecture. For those opting for cheap gates, simple yet elegant designs, such as classic picket styles or minimalist panels, can still make a striking impact. Homeowners can personalize either option with finishes like stains, paints, or decorative hardware, creating a gate that feels uniquely theirs while harmonizing with the surrounding landscape.

Sustainability in Gate Construction

Environmental consciousness is shaping modern home improvements, and gates are no exception. Bespoke gates can be crafted from sustainably sourced timber or recycled metals, reducing their ecological footprint while maintaining their bespoke charm. Cheap gates, often made from readily available materials like pressure-treated wood, can also align with green practices when sourced responsibly. Eco-friendly sealants and coatings further protect these gates from weathering, ensuring longevity while minimizing environmental impact, allowing homeowners to make choices that benefit both their property and the planet.

Maintaining Your Gate’s Timeless Appeal

To preserve a gate’s beauty and functionality, regular care is essential. Bespoke gates, with their custom finishes, may require periodic sealing or touch-ups to protect intricate details from the elements. Cheap gates, designed for practicality, benefit from similar maintenance, such as cleaning and reapplying protective coatings to prevent wear. Both types can withstand years of use with minimal effort, such as washing with mild soap to remove dirt or inspecting for loose hardware, ensuring they remain a stunning focal point of the property.

The Emotional Impact of a Welcoming Entrance

A gate does more than mark an entrance; it evokes a sense of homecoming and pride. Bespoke gates, with their tailored elegance, create a personal connection, making every arrival feel special. Cheap gates, despite their affordability, achieve a similar effect by adding charm and structure to the property’s boundary. For visitors, a well-crafted gate sets expectations of warmth and hospitality, while for residents, it symbolizes a sanctuary. This emotional resonance transforms the gate into a cherished part of the home’s narrative, fostering a deeper appreciation for the space.

Investing in Your Property’s Future

Installing a gate, whether bespoke or budget-friendly, is an investment that enhances a property’s value and appeal. Bespoke gates add a touch of luxury, making the home stand out in a competitive market, while cheap gates offer curb appeal that attracts buyers without breaking the bank. Both options increase security and privacy, key factors for prospective owners. By choosing a gate that balances style and durability, homeowners create a lasting asset that elevates the property’s desirability and leaves a legacy of thoughtful design.

Bringing Your Gate Vision to Reality

Creating the perfect gate begins with envisioning its role in the property’s story. Bespoke gates allow for collaboration with artisans to craft a one-of-a-kind piece, tailored to specific dimensions and aesthetic goals. For those choosing cheap gates, selecting from a range of pre-designed options still offers opportunities for customization through color or hardware choices. By blending creativity with quality materials, homeowners can craft a gate that welcomes with grace, whether it’s a bespoke masterpiece or an affordable gem, ensuring a stunning entrance for years to come.
