Manufacturer wanted to confirm minimum time required for burn-in is followed every time without ‘door opens,’ which was causing failures.

Burn-In Oven was instrumented with environmental sensors and door open sensor. App requires operator to log each run.

Manufacturer learned that minimum burn-in time was actually over an hour less than initially thought required if door remained closed the entire run. So, manufacturer was able to decrease burn-in time, which sped up completion and reduced energy consumption. Manufacturer was also able to track door opens that contributed to board failures.
