Micron Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: MU) today launched the Industrial Quotient (IQ) Partner Program, reaffirming its three-decade commitment to intensively cultivate industrial markets.
In Micron Technology and other founding members – Advantech (Advantech), ATP Electronics (Huateng Microelectronics), Greenliant (Green Core semiconductor), Innodisk (Innodisk), Kontron (Kontron, Germany), Mercury Systems and Viking Technology Supported by Micron’s Industrial Quotient (IQ) Partner Program, the Micron Industrial Quotient (IQ) Partner Program will promote high-quality, robust and durable memory and storage product solutions for a broad range of industrial applications, including factory automation, transportation and defense systems.
The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is continuing to drive rapid changes in manufacturing, driving automation and connectivity beyond the confines of traditional factories and creating widespread demand for data acquisition, communications, real-time analytics, and data-driven decision-making across various industrial verticals . The Industrial Quotient (IQ) Partner Program is designed to address the increased need for coordination and collaboration across the supply chain, a requirement for designing today’s industrial solutions.
Five principles of Micron’s IQ Matters program:
Micron Technology has more than three decades of industry leadership in developing memory solutions for the industrial market. Micron launched its IQ Matters program in 2017, laying the groundwork for this Industrial Quotient (IQ) Partner Program. Built around five principles that support design, the program is dedicated to advancing industrial product development and delivering sustainable, lower total cost of ownership (TCO) for Micron customers and the industry at large. The five principles are:
Enhance product performance to ensure stable performance in environments such as extreme temperatures, thermal cycling, shock and humidity.
High levels of durability and reliability are incorporated into the design and testing process to meet the needs of embedded applications with long life cycles.
Extensive and rigorous quality testing to deliver consistent performance in products and processes required for embedded and mission-critical applications.
Through the “Micron Product Long-Term Availability Program”, relevant appropriate products are provided with longer-term support than the standard life cycle to meet the needs of longer life cycle applications.
Gain insight into product use cases to deliver optimized products and performance for specific application needs.
“With the widespread and growing deployment of industrial IoT applications, choosing the right industrial memory and storage solutions for embedded applications becomes even more important,” said Mr. Kris Baxter, vice president of marketing for Micron’s Embedded Products Group. “Industrial Quotients The (IQ) Partner Program provides industrial customers with peace of mind that they are choosing the most suitable products for their IIoT designs with the lowest possible total cost of ownership. These choices not only meet the capabilities of future industrial solutions demand, and through simplified product lifecycle management, long-term reliability and consistent quality of products will be guaranteed.”
Micron’s memory and Storage solutions have always been the industry’s first choice. Micron’s Industrial Quotient (IQ) Partner Program members are committed to developing and delivering robust and more optimized industrial solutions to meet the growing demands and expectations of these critical application areas.
