Reliability and Quality Solutions

Techlabs has established a strategic partnership with Relyence to deliver a comprehensive reliability and quality engineering solution aligned with internationally recognized standards, including IEC, MIL-STD etc frameworks. The solution is intended for organizations operating in defence, aerospace, and other safety-critical domains where reliability, availability, maintainability and safety (RAMS) must be systematically engineered and demonstrably compliant across the entire product lifecycle.

In mission and safety critical systems, reliability assurance is a mandatory engineering discipline rather than a post-design activity. Product performance, operational safety and lifecycle readiness must be verified through structured analyses, including failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA/FMECA), fault tree analysis (FTA), reliability prediction, maintainability analysis and lifecycle risk assessment

A Unified Approach to Reliability Engineering

The Techlabs-Relyence alliance aims at providing an entire system of reliability engineering. The organizations are provided with the dynamism of a unified platform where various reliability and quality processes can be linked together instead of using multiple, unrelated tools.

Key Benefits of Integration:

  • Better consistency of data between engineering teams.
  • Minimized data manipulation and duplication.
  • Quick and more knowledgeable decision making.
  • Better integration of design, testing and quality teams.
  • Combined Reliability and Quality Engineering Modules.

Relyence solution provided by Techlabs partners provides an integrated approach among various methods of reliability engineering.

Core Integrated Modules Include:

FMEA (Failure Modes and Effects Analysis)
FRACAS (Failure Reporting, Analysis, and Corrective Action System)
Fault Tree Analysis
Reliability Prediction
Reliability Block Diagram (RBD)
Maintainability Prediction
Weibull Analysis
Accelerated Life Testing (ALT)

Relyence FMEA (Failure Modes and Effects Analysis) & Advanced Engineering Aids

Relyence FMEA is an integrated risk management solution that combines traditional failure analysis with advanced engineering aids to ensure comprehensive coverage from initial design to production. It supports a "closed-loop" data flow where design boundaries and process sequences directly inform the risk assessment.

Integrated Engineering Aids

Built-in support for Boundary Diagrams to define scope, P-Diagrams to map noise and control factors, and Process Flow Diagrams (PFD) to establish manufacturing sequences.

Direct Data Synchronization

Seamlessly pushes data from the PFD to the PFMEA, and subsequently to the Control Plan, ensuring consistency across all quality documentation.

Verification & Validation (DVP&R)

Includes integrated DVP&R worksheets to track and report on the testing status of all recommended actions and risk mitigations

Intelligent Failure Nets:

isualizes multi-level failure chains that link component-level causes to system-level effects.

Standards Compliance

Native support for AIAG & VDA, SAE J1739, and MIL-STD-1629 formats with automated Action Priority (AP) and RPN calculations.

Relyence FRACAS (Failure Reporting, Analysis, and Corrective Action System)

Relyence FRACAS provides a structured environment for managing incident reports and corrective actions. The system is fully tailorable, allowing organizations to define their own workflow stages, data fields, and approval processes to match internal quality standards.

Workflow Automation

User-defined states and notifications ensure that corrective actions (CAPA) are assigned, tracked, and closed on schedule.

Problem-Solving Methodologies

Built-in templates for 8D, 5 Whys, Fishbone (Ishikawa) diagrams, and DMAIC.

Field-to-Design Feedback

Direct integration allows field failure data to be fed back into FMEAs or Reliability Predictions to refine future risk assessments.

Advanced Dashboarding

High-level graphical summaries of incident counts, time-to-closure, and recurring failure trends.

Relyence Fault Tree Analysis (FTA)

Relyence FTA provides a powerful graphical interface for top-down analytical modeling of complex system failures. It utilizes Boolean logic to determine the probability of a "Top Event" based on the likelihood of lower-level basic events and component failures.

Visual Logic Modeling:

Drag-and-drop construction of logic trees using AND, OR, Priority AND, Inhibit, and Voting (k-out-of-n) gates.

Minimal Cut Set Engine

Automatically calculates the smallest combinations of events that cause a system-level failure to identify critical vulnerabilities.

Quantitative Metrics:

Calculates Unreliability, Unavailability, and Importance Measures to rank which events contribute most to system risk.

Dynamic Linking

Basic events can be linked directly to Reliability Prediction data for real-time probability updates.

Relyence Weibull Analysis

Relyence Weibull is a statistical life data analysis tool used to identify failure patterns and trends. It processes data from field failures or lab tests to predict future product performance and warranty risks.

Distribution Fitting

Automated Best-Fit analysis for Weibull, Lognormal, Exponential, and Normal distributions.

Censored Data Support

Advanced handling of suspensions (items that have not failed) to ensure statistical accuracy.

Life Metric Calculations

Accurate estimation of B-life (e.g., B10 life), Mean Life, and probability of failure at specific time intervals.

Confidence Interval Support:

Calculation of Fisher Matrix and Likelihood Ratio confidence bounds for reliability plots.

Relyence ALT (Accelerated Life Testing)

Relyence ALT allows engineers to analyze data from products tested under accelerated stress conditions. It calculates the relationship between stress and life to predict performance under normal operating conditions.

Multi-Stress Modeling

Support for Arrhenius, Eyring, Inverse Power Law, and Temperature-Humidity models..

Acceleration Factor Calculation

Quantifies the "time-compression" achieved during testing to map lab results to real-world usage.

Reliability Forecasting

Predicts product life and failure rates at use-level stress based on high-stress test data.

Probability Plotting

High-resolution graphical analysis of stress-dependent life distributions.
