Repair attempt mPulse Handheld LIBS Metal Analyzer

Reference report Schrott-Nasz GmbH

The mPulse metal analyzer used by the company no longer functioned. Unfortunately, the manufacturing company didnt´t exist anymore. Successors no longer offer to repair the mPulse and Schrott Nasz‘s own repair attempts failed.

SIGMA was the only company that dared to attempt a repair on request.

One of the causes of the device failure was the uncontrolled switching off of the device by disconnecting the power supply unit due to a missing battery (defective) and the occasional destruction of data structures on the internal flash, which is common for many devices. The control module comes from Toradex. An Nvidia Tegra T20 ARM SoC is installed.
A lot of experience and know-how, fun in troubleshooting, measurements, tools available from Toradex and a little luck the data structures could be saved and restoredand the application could be restarted again. The display, which was also defective, was replaced.

Conclusion

The final success is still awaited, as apparently other parts of the hardware and/or software do not work together as they were supposed to.
We are continuing our search and will report in an update if we are successful.

HERE´S WHAT OUR CUSTOMER SAYS
"SIGMA was the only company that was prepared to take on our problem. Even though the device is not yet fully functional again - the computer unit including the display could be put back into operation, as well as the application. We are still working hard to find a complete solution."

Use of Chatbot

(1) This website uses a chatbot developed exclusively by us. The chatbot is a software-based dialog system that enables text- or voice-based communication with a technical system.
The chatbot operates on the RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) approach, retrieving data from a database to answer questions as accurately as possible. These data, along with the user’s question, are sent to the language models of OpenAI, Inc. without transmitting any personal information about the user. The models attempt to answer the question using the provided data and return the response. The data are sourced from one of our internal databases, comprising text documents with marketing information about products and services of the SIGMA Group.

(2) The following data are processed: session ID for user requests, the time of the request, the request itself, the chatbot’s response, the topic, and the language.

(3) We process this data to analyze the productivity of our chatbot and to continuously improve it. This includes the following purposes:

  • Chatbot performance optimization: We collect and analyze interactions with the chatbot to evaluate its efficiency and performance. This includes, for example, questions the chatbot could not answer, repeated inquiries on specific topics, and similar issues.
  • Enhancing the user experience: We use data to improve the user experience. This includes analyzing user feedback to make adjustments and expansions to the chatbot to better meet your needs.
  • Error detection and resolution: The data allow us to detect errors and issues in real time, enabling faster resolution and updates to the chatbot.
  • Statistical evaluations: We generate aggregated, anonymized statistical reports on chatbot usage. These reports contain no personal information and serve to analyze trends and patterns.
