Join us for a FREE 30-minute webinar for an inside look at how IPC membership can provide great value for your company! There are many exciting benefits included with an IPC membership that will help your company build electronics better.

Bryan Erwin, former Director of the Trade Advocacy Center in the Obama Administration, Founder/Managing Partner at BlueWave Merchant Partners, and current member of IPC’s Thought Leaders program, will provide information on how best to leverage these assets to augment your company’s sales. Erwin will also walk through how using these assets can affect policy outcomes here in the United States.

This webinar will explore the unique nature of the recession and the subsequent recovery and what to expect in the months and years ahead. Discover how and why supply chains have been impacted as they have been and what lies ahead as IPC Chief Economist Shawn DuBravac shares the latest economic data, trends, and risks and possible scenarios for 2021 and beyond.

Data-driven manufacturing is revolutionizing the industry, improving quality, productivity and agility, while also decreasing production costs and ordering lead-times. In sectors requiring a very high degree of security within manufacturing and of product data, the adoption of Smart Manufacturing solutions has been severely limited. As a result, many companies in the electronics manufacturing industry, especially those in high-security sectors, are left with an increasing gap in terms of competitiveness, leading to relatively increased costs and a lack of flexibility.

IPC Connected Factory Exchange (IPC-CFX), an open industry standard for shop floor communication, provides a whole new mechanism of secure data transfer, as well as the ability to securely bridge the “air-gap” between the operational shop floor and secure business systems.

In this webinar, we will explain the issues around internal factory security and how any company can leverage the secure encryption and standardized equipment messaging of IPC-CFX in security-critical manufacturing environments to support Smart Industry 4.0 initiatives and data collection and analysis, without risk of compromise.

Focusing only on the cool technology in design limits product success. Having a broad knowledge of the entire product life cycle – from cradle to grave – dramatically improves product quality, reliability, and even productivity. ‎

Design for Excellence (DfX) is based on the concept that optimizing a product starting early in design is far more effective than fixing problems later. In this webinar, we’ll explain how to use the DfX concepts of Design for Reliability, Design for Manufacturability, Design for Environment, Design for Testability, etc., to not only reduce research and development costs but also improve quality and decrease time to market. Understanding DFX concepts is critical for anyone who wants to design and build robust, profitable products. We’ll also discuss a few common barriers and mistakes along with some practices you can implement right away.

Finally, our new book, Design for Excellence in Electronics Manufacturing, offers detailed help covering everything from product ideation to field use. The book shares valuable lessons learned from the real experience including how to select materials for the environment, where to get guidance, and how to use modeling tools to predict product performance. It also helps people spend their test budgets in the best possible way.

2020 was a catalyst for innovation – in both what and how we build. Teams had to find new ways to complete build failure analysis remotely to keep to schedules, refactor supply chains, and bake agility into their everyday processes. In this webinar, Anna-Katrina will discuss the learning's, experiences, and best practices that evolved from the disruptions of 2020.

The proliferation of electronics into harsh environments has however, highlighted the well-established link between process residues and electro-chemical migration (ECM) caused failures. Higher operational voltages, increased component densities, and assembly miniaturization, and increased reliability expectations increase the relationship between clean assemblies and long-term reliability.

IPC IMPACT Europe is your opportunity to connect with EU policy makers, learn about current policy priorities, and discuss how these changes may impact your business.
