Project Overview
This document outlines the research and implementation plan for achieving VDA (Verband der Automobilindustrie) compliance for a new Printed Circuit Board Assembly (PCBA) facility in Querétaro, Mexico. The project focuses on integrating advanced data logging and robust Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) protocols, adhering to best practices for dry facilities to ensure maximum product quality and reliability.
Parque Industrial Querétaro, Querétaro, Mexico. A key automotive and electronics manufacturing hub.
Achieve full VDA compliance for PCBA manufacturing, focusing on environmental and process controls.
Advanced Data Loggers, comprehensive ESD Protocols, and Dry Facility Best Practices.
Environmental Analysis
A critical first step is analyzing the historical climate data for Querétaro. This (simulated) data informs the necessary specifications for HVAC systems, dehumidifiers, and dry storage to maintain strict environmental controls required for PCBA and VDA standards, especially managing humidity and temperature fluctuations.
Technology Solutions: Enhancing Data Loggers
The project will move beyond standard data logging to implement a "Smart Facility" solution. This involves upgrading from periodic, manual data collection to a real-time, integrated, and predictive system. Below is a comparison of the standard model versus our proposed enhanced solution.
