The ON Semiconductor RFM5126 water intrusion detection system escorts the reputation of automakers

In any field or application, potential failures can damage a company's reputation, and it can be costly and time consuming to fix a reputation. In the automotive industry, bad news spreads very quickly, and the trustworthy brand image that has cost millions of dollars to build can be severely damaged overnight.

The quality of the water intrusion may be a problem that is difficult for the car manufacturer to detect and slowly damage, and usually does not show obvious, immediate failure. Perhaps a big problem is that on the assembly line, cars usually pass a downline spray test to detect any water leaks, which can be a potential problem in the life of the car.

The degree of water intrusion during the test can range from large puddles that accumulate in the low recesses of the car to just a few drops of water that are more blurred. The former is relatively easy to find through traditional visual inspection methods. The latter - especially if it is outside the line of sight, such as between the inner and outer surfaces of the vehicle - is not easily found. With the increasing number of electronic components in today's automobiles, and the tendency of assembly technology to use adhesives rather than soldering, the potential problems associated with moisture are exacerbated; moreover, we all know that water and electricity are not compatible!

Small leaks can cause water to enter the vehicle, long enough to cause mold growth and potentially damage expensive electronic modules and components. In fact, statistics show that the factory has up to 3% of water leaks, which will eventually lead to mold growth and expensive warranty or recall.

An innovative and reliable solution RFM5126 water intrusion detection system developed by ON Semiconductor and RFMicron helps solve this serious problem. This ready-to-use system uses ON Semiconductor's SPS1M001 battery-free wireless sensor to detect even the smallest leaks in the car due to assembly errors.

The RFM5126 water intrusion detection system automatically checks for vehicle leaks during the final vehicle assembly process

These unobtrusive battery-free wireless sensors are installed in “high-risk” areas as early as the bare metal assembly process in front of the car interior and seat. After all assembly is completed, the vehicle is tested for high pressure spray and the system will flag any small, hard to find leaks. The car drives through the portal and supports communication with the sensor. The precision sensor inside the portal monitoring software accurately reports the location of the leak to speed up the rework process. In addition, and perhaps most importantly, over time, the collected data provides the information needed to drive process improvement. This helps automakers deal with water leaks that shouldn't leak, and ultimately eliminate leaks completely and permanently.

Outdoor Emergency Portable Power Station

The off-grid segment is expected to be the fastest-growing market segment in the portable power station market, by application, during the forecast period.

The portable power station market is segmented by application into emergency power, off-grid power, and automotive. The off-gird power segment is projected to grow at the highest rate during the forecast period. The demand to power modern electronic equipment such as laptops, smartphones, etc., is driving the portable power station market for the off-grid segment. The growth of this segment is also driven by the increase of camping and outdoor recreational activities, and the growing use of smart electronic devices in regions such as North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific.


North America is expected to account for the largest market size during the forecast period.

The market is segmented by region into North America, South America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Middle East & Africa. Of these, North America is the largest portable power station market in the world, predominantly due to the US, and the trend is expected to be the same during the forecast period. The market in the region is driven by the growing emphasis on camping and outdoor recreational activities, and the increasing use of smart electronic devices, and the subsequent need for connectivity, which requires power.
