The evolving landscape of autonomous and automated systems increases the demand for electronic components. Heavy-duty machines are increasingly equipped with advanced technologies like cameras, sensors, lidar, radar and IoT devices. They need to be reliably protected for safe machine operation in some of the harshest environments, exposing electronic components to extreme conditions such as contamination, vibration, cleaning, hot, cold and rainy weather. These may result in corrosion, mechanical defects and condensation. The presentation will outline how Gore can address these challenges, focusing on the implementation of innovative venting solutions to ensure the functionality and longevity of these electronic systems.

• How venting technology can mitigate the main environmental challenges of electronic components to be protected from condensation, contamination and corrosion
• How vents are engineered to handle severe temperature and pressure fluctuations, to enable long-lasting functionality in harsh industrial environments
• We will show relevant lab and real-life test methods and considerations for various applications, conditions and venting solutions
• Learn how Gore successfully collaborated with Liebherr to enable reliable camera operation
