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.
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.
In this webinar, we will hear from Industry Leader, Loren Smith of Blue Valley Capital. He has over four decades of wire harness experience. This will be a very interactive webinar.

IPC and iNEMI convened electronics industry experts in person on June 17 to discuss circularity challenges at the workshop, "There’s no end to a circle. A workshop on how to address circularity challenges in electronics manufacturing" at the Electronics Goes Green conference in Berlin. The fundamental goal of the workshop was to scope industry solutions to address pressing circularity challenges. Please join us on July 17 at 10:00 AM EDT to learn more about the results of the workshop and next steps that will lead to work by iNEMI and IPC.
