Discover Sherlock!

Wouldn't it be nice to see into the future?

With Sherlock by DfR Solutions, you can. Sherlock is a new Automated Design Analysis Tool that allows you to predict product failure earlier in the design process, allowing you to design reliability right into the product. And with results in hours instead of weeks, you'll be able to deliver these products faster and more efficiently, contributing to your customer's success. Didn't see that coming, did you?

Fast

  • Get Rapid feedback on product designs
  • Generate reports in minutes

Intuitive

  • Easy to deploy and use
  • Perfect for all levels of engineering and management

One of a Kind

  • Physics of Failure (PoF) analysis provides more accurate reliability predictions
  • Deeper and broader analysis than any other tool on the market

 

How Sherlock Works

Unlike any other product on the market, Sherlock works with the files that the design team already creates. The same file set that would allow your manufacturer to assemble the boards in the factory allows Sherlock to build the boards in the virtual world. Once the data is imported, users can review the data and either approve the interpretation, or dig down deeper and provide more detail to the analysis. This allows engineers to spend their time improving their product, not entering data.

Phase 1:
Data Input

Identifies your files and imports your parts list automatically.

Builds a finite element analysis model of your circuit board in minutes.

Phase 2:
Sherlock Analysis

Produces a holistic analysis that is critical in the development of reliable electronics products. Assessment options include:

  • Thermal
  • Shock & Vibe
  • Time to Failure
  • Part Failure

 

Phase 3:
Report & Recommend

Presents results in multiple formats (tabular, histogram, life curve, overlay) and outputs comprehensive, professionally formatted report for broad distribution.
 

Physics
of
Failure

Physics of Failure Analysis uses what we know about the causes of product failure to predict reliability and improve product performance. Reduce development and support costs. Produce more reliable products. Improve brand image. Develop a reliability-based culture in product design.
