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.

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.
This course provides the skills necessary to effectively implement designs requiring embedded components in accordance with product requirements. The class also focuses on PWB/PBA designs that require advanced or complex packaging, have reduced available board area, reduced physical component count, and require improved signal integrity performance. Participants will also consider the impact of these designs on manufacturing and assembly techniques, documentation, and manufacturing file generation.
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.

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.
