Customer Success Stories: Industrial microSD for Rugged Operating Conditions

 

Flash memory and storage SSD solutions have revolutionized the way industries develop and operate. However, while highly effective in powering OEM applications, not all storage solutions are created equal. When it comes to industrial embedded OEM devices, engineers must effectively develop flash memory that can withstand the rugged conditions of industrial environments, including extreme temperatures, dust, shock, and vibrations—all while operating to their maximum ability and virtually eliminating the risk of data failure.

 

At Delkin Devices, we lead the way in cutting-edge, USA-designed storage solutions for industrial embedded OEM devices that are both reliable and durable, so that industrial partners don’t risk data loss, device failures, or revenue. We work alongside industrial clients across all industries—from transportation and aerospace to gaming, healthcare, military, and many more.

 

Video technology adds to the mix of the already challenging process for designers and OEM application providers to come up with an effective solution to record without compromising storage capacity or video quality. It can be tough to choose between rugged durability and storage capacity, but thanks to Delkin’s world-class customer applications solutions, you don’t have to. Our team goes above and beyond to test and develop a product catered to your OEM’s unique needs.

 

With our DASHCARD microSD, your application can withstand rugged conditions while maintaining high storage capacities in a small card design. Below, we’ve noted how our innovative customer applications team worked closely with a client to resolve their device failures with the state-of-the-art DASHCARD microSD.

 

The Customer Story

One of our customers approached us with an issue regarding their dashboard security camera device. They couldn’t understand why their device kept repeating system failures. Because of the nature of their industry, they required substantial storage and high-quality, reliable video recording at the same time—all within a tight budget to maximize their sales. For these reasons, it was crucial to select exactly the right industrial-embedded memory to fit their demanding criteria with no risk of failure. Suspecting that their flash memory cards were the problem, the client turned to Delkin’s knowledgeable customer support team for help.

 

Delkin’s Discovery

Our engineering team quickly got to work to understand where the problem originated. Asking the client in-depth questions about their issues and overall experience, the Delkin team quickly understood that a pattern of failures was occurring because the devices were being used in extremely hot environments. Alternatively, when the devices were used in cooler climates, these issues did not occur. It was the operating conditions of the product that was causing the system failures.

 

By testing the client’s current flash memory cards in rugged conditions using the HALT (Highly Accelerated Life Test) and HASS (Highly Accelerated Stress Screen) techniques, it was concluded that the memory cards failed when reaching a temperature over 80 degrees Celsius. Furthermore, our team determined that the failures were happening while the devices were being stored, rather than when they were being used. This is because the dashboard cameras were being stored under the sun where temperatures climbed over 100 degrees Celsius.

 

Delkin’s Solution

To stop the problem at its root cause, Delkin’s customer applications team recommended swapping the application’s current memory cards to industrial microSD DASHCARDS that are specifically designed to withstand extreme temperatures while still providing high resolution videos with ample storage space.

 

These industrial microSD DASHCARDS can be successfully used in a variety of industrial applications, including security cameras, surveillance cameras, bodycams, and any other cameras that need to withstand rugged conditions while reliably providing high-endurance recording capabilities.
