Structural Integrity & Selection
Error: Uncertainty in acoustic performance vs. waterproofing.
Issue: Structural stress leading to debonding
✓ FIX: Finite Element Analysis (FEA) + Low-modulus adhesive
Issue: Acoustic vs Waterproof trade-off
✓ FIX: High-damping, low-VOC material recommendation
Production Stability & Yield
Error: Inconsistent curing on mass production lines.
Issue: Unstable dispensing volume / Bubbles
✓ FIX: Jet valve calibration + Vacuum potting workflow
Issue: Long UV curing time affects tact time
✓ FIX: Optimize light energy distribution & photoinitiator
Supply Chain & Compliance
Error: Material shortage or new regulations (PFAS).
Issue: Sudden material discontinuation
✓ FIX: Drop-in replacement validation & bridge stock plan
Issue: New environmental regulations
✓ FIX: PFAS-free / Bio-based adhesive alternatives
