Reliability Tours/Events

We started a new program where we start touring companies’ facilities to check out their reliability cutting edge programs.

Agilent? Agilent who?Another Dilbert company?

Our roots go back to Bill and Dave

See if you can spot Bill’s EE schematics on the tour.

Our Tour -- a couple of notesThere are several IEEE groups that have

shown interest in doing some sort of Agilent tour event.

Someone has to go first.That someone is us.The advertisement of this event has been

kept to a minimum to keep the group size low.

Let’s try the tour with a small group and see how it goes.

Santa Clara Site – The Tour1) Agilent Archives -- Devon Dawson2) Center of Excellence – SCS Products3) Hardware Quality Test Lab Climatics4) Hardware Quality Test Lab Dynamics5) Genomics Slide Printing Robotics6) Life Test Lab (Island of Misfit Toys)7) Patent Wall

Host Responsibilities:No Picture Taking.

Don’t bring a camera.If you have a camera phone, refrain from….

No TouchingAutomated chemical analysis may be in progress.Customers may be working from anywhere.High Voltage, Hazardous Chemicals, Hot Surfaces

Host Responsibilities:Don’t Leave the Tour

There are security restrictions on our tour.

Our route avoids sensitive R&D areas.

If you need to leave the tour, let me know.
