Reiner John, Coordinator Research Funding Corporate Strategy at AVL List, examines how the ARCHIMEDES project ensures an extended ECS lifetime with digital means and fosters a circular economy. In the face of climate change, we need urgent action in the transition towards cleaner energy in transportation, infrastructure, and power. Electronic components and systems (ECS) currently last around 8,000 hours, but a longer lifespan of up to 120,000 is required. The ARCHIMEDES project is dedicated to transforming how ECS are qualified, ensuring a trusted extended lifetime throughout the entire supply chain. This initiative will impact the semiconductor, automotive, aviation, and infrastructure sectors by advancing technologies that boost resource efficiency and prolong the life of essential systems.
