The U.S. Economy Needs the Bipartisan Innovation Act and the PCB Act
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.

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.

IPC E-Textiles Europe 2020 | Virtual Summit is a technical education summit for innovators, technologists, materials suppliers and brands to learn about the latest innovations, designs and manufacturing concepts for e-textiles technologies being developed in Europe as well as to collaborate on solutions and identify partners. This summit will consist of four educational workshop sessions over two days. Each workshop will include tours and interviews with students from four university laboratories in Europe.
The 15th Electronic Circuits World Convention (ECWC15) is the most notable international PCB symposium held every three years in different cities around the world. ECWC provides a valuable platform to encourage learnings amongst peers and provide the latest on global PCB demand, PCB manufacturing processes as well as technologies to enable them to better cope with the changing market dynamics for trends such as 5G, autonomous driving, smart world and much more. It also aims to promote the domestic PCB industry and economic activities in every country and every region.
IPC APEX EXPO 2021 is the place to be – wherever you are.
Given continued restrictions in the state of California for large gatherings and events, the rise in COVID-19 infection rates and restricted company travel policies, IPC’s executive leadership and Board of Directors made the decision to cancel the APEX EXPO as an in-person event and move to a virtual event.
Although the setting will be unique, we are committed to providing you with the cutting-edge content you have come to expect from APEX EXPO. The event’s digital platform will allow you to easily navigate more than 100 technical conference sessions and application-focused professional development courses as well as view product demonstrations, schedule one-on-one meetings with exhibitors and experience other offerings within the online exhibition.
Over the past 19 years, the National Electrical Wire Processing Technology Expo has grown into a comprehensive industry resource! As the exclusive showcase for the electrical wire harness, wire and cable processing industries, the Expo connects buyers with local, national, and international manufacturers and distributors. It’s the only event where the industry meets as a whole to present and access new technologies, innovative products and services, as well as solutions for challenging wire problems. By bringing together buyers and manufacturers, this Expo presents the ideal venue to find new opportunities and generate new business.
While COVID related issues caused the cancellation of the February annual meeting the WHMA BOD asked to bring the WHMA community together via webinar to have an opportunity to stay connected. To this end, WHMA/IPC has organized the presentations below to be held by Zoom conference on February 17, 2021.
What does supply chain resiliency really mean? What can you do in your business, regardless of size, to react and adapt to supply chain disruptions? Join us for an interactive discussion with Suzanne Richer of the Global Trade Academy as she helps us define what supply chain resiliency means, including understanding whether an impact can be delayed and if not, how quick a company can recover. Explore how to better gain control of your supply chain, in a climate that seems to have taken control out of our hands. Suzanne will share unique approaches to and lessons learned about data management, supplier cooperation, and the future of talent. Additionally, she will share how procurement is changing and will impact the electronics industry.
As the Smart replacement for the long-successful IPC-SMEMA standard, the IPC-HERMES standard directly addresses business-critical line automation needs, whilst retaining the freedom to select the ideal equipment from any chosen vendor. Hermes provides machine-to-machine (M2M) communication that allows machines to consistently transfer a physical PCB together with the PCB’s related Digital Twin. With an emphasis on flexibility to produce any quantity, of any product, at any time, Hermes features fully automated changeover and flow-control in adaptive multi / mixed production lines, without the need for specialist hardware or systems at each machine.
