Quick recap
The team discussed the upload of plantations for PDF and the presentation of the FDR, with a focus on the need to meet with the electronics guy from Brookhaven. They also discussed the situation with the sensors, the need for a quick presentation by everyone, and the contract assignment by Ihep. The conversation ended with discussions on the PCB and components' payment issues, the importance of testing and quality control in their production process, and the potential for a partnership with a company in Europe for hybridization.
Next steps
• discuss with Stefan about the cost of the PCB publication and assembly without components.
• check with Blake about the schedule for the production and the money needed to be paid to the company.
• send an email to Stefan, explaining the changes on the BoE and the gap that needs to be covered.
• prepare a presentation on the module flex and the cost of the PCB publication and assembly for the upcoming meeting.
• follow up on the status of the production power supplies and high voltage power supplies.
• prepare a presentation on the probing and the criteria for the production.
• discuss with the team about the distribution of the ASICs between the US, EU, and China.
• send a quote to Sebastian for the production of the hybridization.
• follow up on the quote for the Polymide layer for the production.
• Jie to have a meeting with the team to discuss the tax implications for the production.
Summary
Meeting Summary: Plantation Upload and ITK Discussion
In the meeting, Joao and Jie discussed the upload of plantations for PDF and the presentation of the FDR. They also talked about the need to meet with the electronics guy from Brookhaven. Jie mentioned that she had not met him yet. Joao suggested that Jie should try to catch him sometime. They also discussed the need to reboot their computers and the issue of not being able to display images. Joao mentioned that he would give an overview, Jie would give the GDD, and GDD would give the ITK. They also discussed the situation with the sensors, with Zhijun expressing concern about the high cost and the need for a proper price. They also discussed the need to prepare for a meeting with the spokesperson and the possibility of going to an SFC.
Upcoming Meeting and Presentation Plans
Zhijun and Jie discussed the upcoming meeting and the need for a quick presentation by everyone. Jie mentioned that the contract was under proceeding and the costing for pre-production and loss production was being finalized. Zhijun suggested that the meeting might run out of time for lab visits, and they decided to decide on the presentations by the end of the day. Jingbo proposed a 10-minute presentation on the propagation delay, which Zhijun agreed could be a good idea.
Contract Assignment and Cost Increase
Jie discussed the contract assignment by Ihep and the need for a cost increase of 40%. Zhijun agreed to this, noting that most cost increases they've seen are around 20%. Jie also mentioned that the business process for the contract has been lengthy, taking at least 2-3 weeks. Zhijun expressed concern about the potential delay in the delivery of the module flex due to the pre-production process. Jie proposed a visit to the factory in the middle of next month to join the QA test. The team also discussed the upcoming FDR and the need to consider procurement of components. Jie planned to discuss the changes in the BoE with Stefan.
PCB Payment and Production Schedule
In the meeting, Zhijun and Jie discussed the PCB and components' payment issues. Jie agreed to discuss the matter with Stefan. They also discussed the need for proper length cables for testing and the need for other components like power supplies. Jie mentioned that they have shipped two PCBs to Switzerland and planned to show them in FDR. They also discussed the need for a schedule for the production and the need for the company to be paid directly. Jie mentioned that they need to test the prototype with create and that the company is on hold waiting for feedback.
Testing and Quality Control Discussion
In the meeting, Zhijun and Jie discussed the importance of testing and quality control in their production process. They highlighted the need for a detailed analysis of the agents to ensure their functionality. Zhijun emphasized the significance of the probing process, which was initially intended to be done in Europe but might be shifted to the US due to logistical challenges. The team also discussed the potential for a partnership with a company in Europe for hybridization, but the cost-effectiveness of this option was still under consideration. The conversation ended with a discussion on the need for a tax strategy for importing ASICs and the potential for a partnership with a company in Europe for hybridization.
