IPC WorksAsia is a technical exchange brand built by IPC China for the electronics manufacturing industry which focuses on the key technologies and standard practices, connects engineering technology with industry applications, and promotes the communication and implementation of advanced manufacturing experience.
At this exhibition, the Global Electronics Association joins forces with key industry partners in wire harness manufacturing and soldering equipment technologies, integrating the internationally recognized IPC training and certification programs to create a cross-disciplinary joint showcase.
In addition to presenting advanced process equipment and critical interconnection technologies, the pavilion features a live CFX (Connected Factory Exchange) smart manufacturing demonstration line, illustrating real-time machine connectivity, data exchange, and digitalized production management within electronics manufacturing environments.
Through this joint exhibition, the Association aims to accelerate the convergence of industry standards, workforce development, and intelligent manufacturing, driving the electronics industry toward greater efficiency, traceability, and sustainable growth.
This demonstration line is jointly developed by the Global Electronics Association (GEA) together with Aurotek, Advantech AI, and Universal Robots, fully adopting the GEA/IPC CFX standard to enable plug-and-play connectivity, real-time data exchange, and end-to-end traceability.
The line integrates AI-driven inspection and safety monitoring with collaborative robot automation, while seamlessly connecting to MES, ERP, and cloud platforms to create a highly connected smart manufacturing environment.
Through this CFX showcase, the solution demonstrates a comprehensive digital management model spanning production, quality, and workforce safety—helping electronics manufacturers accelerate smart factory adoption, improve operational efficiency, and reduce overall risk.
NEPCON will be held in a region with a high concentration of the automotive industry. GEA will co exhibit a booth with JapanUnix and will promote IPC standards. We are also considering a presentation by a Key Opinion Leader from a global supplier with established relations with GEA.
Skilled soldering experts (F/M) will compete for 60 minutes on a complex circuit board assembly to win the 2026 National title, earn a cash prize, and compete for a coveted spot at the IPC Hand Soldering World Championship, to take place at electronica in Munich in November 2026.
To deepen industry engagement and expand global impact, the TPCA Show will collaborate with members of the Global Electronics Association (GEA) to promote sponsorship participation and technical outreach activities, including the organization of a Hand Soldering Competition.
Conducted in alignment with IPC international standards, the competition will evaluate participants’ practical skills in soldering quality, process control, and workmanship compliance. Beyond showcasing technical excellence in electronics manufacturing, the event also reinforces industry awareness of quality and standardization while supporting workforce development and skills transfer.
In parallel, the IMPACT Exhibition will focus on advanced packaging technologies, featuring dedicated symposium sessions jointly organized by the Taiwan Standards Committee and the Taiwan Technical Standards Committee.
These sessions will highlight liquid cooling technologies for semiconductor and electronic packaging, covering industry trends, critical materials, reliability validation, and system integration.
Through cross-disciplinary collaboration between standards bodies and industry experts, the initiative aims to build internationally aligned technical consensus and strengthen Taiwan’s competitive position in high-performance computing and next-generation electronic packaging.
The IPC Electronics Assembly Masters Competition, established in 2010, attracts participants from core sectors of the electronics manufacturing industry, including defense, aerospace, rail transportation, automotive electronics, communications, and consumer electronics.
The First CFX Demo Line in Korea, one of the association’s Solution, aims to help the engineers in Korea’s electronics industry easily understand smart manufacturing and to deliver immersive experience through equipment integration.
An exclusive annual event in Korea, aims to promote Korean electronics industry development and global cooperation. The whole day is full of 6 topics of Seminar and the association’s Korea local activities, which attacks more than 150 engineers from the industry every year.
This course is intended for individuals who have completed or possess the equivalent skills or experience from PCB Fundamentals Parts 1 & 2 and who need further experience with design, manufacturing, packaging, and routing challenges for products that require advanced and emerging technologies to solve design challenges, including high-speed digital designs.
