In a first time confined to labs and then R&D centers, 3D integration technologies have now gained maturity and are now penetrating the industrial world. More and more, R&D centers are approached to back the industrial developments with associated constraints of swift product development, prototyping, and short time-to- market. To face this paradigm, Léti has developed a specific two-step approach in the field of 3D integration, including both a very advanced R&D part focused on the most promising technologies and integration flows, and the industrial validation of the most mature process flows already assessed at the laboratory scale or on specific industrial themes. This talk aims to detail the two aspects of this dual approach:-In the first part, we will give an overview of the innovative R&D performed on the still nascent and most promising integration flows, as well as the associated technological means.-in the second part, we will present the prototyping activities that Léti is now offering. Based on a limited number of mature and already validated process steps (bonding and thinning, TSV, bumping, stacking) this generic integration scheme allows industrial customers to assess on their own wafers the benefits of an innovative 3D integration.

Airlines need to continuously extend and modernise their fleets, to keep up with the challenges of air-travel growth, competition, green, safe and secure operations, and growing passenger demands. As a result, the aircraft industry and its supply chain have to manage the growing needs for cost-efficient and complex aircraft in increasingly shorter time. Meanwhile they face their own challenges, such as certification and global competition. Quick evaluation of promising new technologies and concepts facilitates a short time to market. However, the required innovations are costly and risky, and require involvement of many experts from different disciplines and partners. Increasing the level of collaboration within the aircraft industry and its supply chain will be an essential step forward to deal with the challenges. Developing modern aircraft in an increasingly cost and time efficient manner in a collaborative set-up however requires step changes. The EU-funded Horizon2020 project AGILE has developed methods and tools for efficient and cross-organisation collaborative aircraft design, facilitating the rapid evaluation of new technologies and concepts at the early stages of aircraft development. This paper describes the capabilities and illustrates the successful integrated application of the capabilities by means of a collaborative aircraft rudder design evaluation.

Abstract Short time to market is a key for success. Information management in product development is one factor for it’s influence. In this paper, the need for a methodology and an IT support for the collection and management of product requirements from identification of customer demands up to the preparation of the final design documents is highlighted. For this, triggers for time consuming iterations are identified and the basic reasons for iterations determined. The lacks of existing approaches in the U.S. and Germany for collecting and handling requirements are discussed, and an integrated concept for requirements management and an appropriate IT support for it are presented.

Personalization of products, mix variability and short time to market are the most important factors that have forced companies to a new form of organization during past years. A very common reply to this question is a lean organization based on flexibility of productive lines, reduction of storage and integration among company sections. In this context, quite differently from a traditional system, the maintenance function must work efficiently. Also the maintenance division must contribute to the success of the factory. Aims to introduce a methodology for a soft and tenable application of the principles of total productive maintenance (TPM) in Italian factories. The first step of the study is an explanation of the actual situation, usually based on traditional or on productive maintenance. After a brief introduction, focuses on TPM links with productive maintenance in order to suggest a method for TPM. Concludes with a real application of TPM in a big factory, with a description of a world leader in plant manufacturing for the ceramics industry.

Relevant Factors

Although the literature has recognised short time to market and early entry as relevant factors, they are not enough alone to ensure success. In fact, an early entrant may successfully serve early adopters, but then fail in developing products suitable for those who adopt later (i.e., the early majority), dissipating the first-mover advantages previously gained. This paper argues that the likelihood of being successful in the early majority segment depends also on the rethinking time, defined as the time available to firms serving early adopters for planning and developing products that will be offered to the upcoming early majority segment. The rethinking time is here analytically defined through the Bass model and its relationship with product success is investigated. The paper shows that the market leader in the early majority segment is expected to be the incumbent when rapid diffusion occurs and, conversely, new entrants when rethinking time is longer.

A continuous flow parallel reactor system has been developed to provide a rapid and seamless transition from the discovery phase and production phase of chemical synthesis, particularly in low volume-high value pharmaceuticals production. Using a single fixed bed catalytic meso reactor, reactions can be screened on a small discovery scale over short time scales. The intensified process produces sufficient material for a full analysis. By replication of the single reactor in parallel, the same chemistry can be achieved on a larger scale, on a small footprint and without the mass and heat transport limitations of reactor scale-out in batch.

The design and test of Multi-Processor System-on-Chips (MPSoCs) and development of distributed applications and/or operating systems executed on those hardware platforms is one of the biggest challenges in today’s system design. This applies in particular when short time-to-market constraints impose serious limitations on the exploration of the design space. The use of virtual platforms can help in decreasing the development and test cycles. In this paper, we present a cloud-based environment supporting the user in designing heterogeneous MPSoCs and developing distributed applications. Therefore, the design environment generates virtual platforms automatically allowing fast prototyping cycles especially in the software development process, and exports the design to a hardware flow synthesizing compatible FPGA designs. The extension of the peripheral models with debug information supports the developer during test and debug cycles and avoids the need of adding special debug codes in the application. This improves the <br />readability, portability and maintainability of produced software. Additionally, this paper presents the benefits of using cloud-based design environments in engineers’ trainings and educations. Therefore, the framework supports testing the system including complex software stacks with prerecorded data or testbenches.

AbstractAimsTo develop a low volumein vitromodel with increased throughput simulating the human small intestine, incorporating the presence of ileal microbiota, to study microbial behaviour in the small intestine.Methods and ResultsThe Smallest Intestinein vitromodel (TSI) was developed. During the simulated passage of the small intestine bile is absorbed by dialysis and pH adjusted to physiologically relevant level. A consortium of seven representative bacterial members of the ileum microbiota is included in the ileal stage of the model. It was found that the model can be applied for the testing of survival of probiotic bacteria in upper intestine. Moreover, it was found, that the presence of the ileal microbiota significantly impacted probiotic survival.ConclusionsTSI allows testing a substantial number of samples, at low cost and short time, and is thus suitable as anin vitroscreening platform. Multiples of five reactors can be added to increase the number of biological and technical replicates.Significance and Impact of the StudyTSI serves as an alternative for costly and low throughputin vitromodels currently existing on the market. Above that, significance of small intestine bacteria presence on survival of probiotic bacteria in the upper intestine was proved.
