DPMX And The Digital Thread” Michael Ford, Aegis Software There are two aspects to a Digital Thread that are essential for modern manufacturing, both of which are related to the context in which we use data to create value. We tend to dwell on the aspect that represents daily burden to the industry with occasional…
Koh Young, measurement-based inspection solutions provider, joined the IPC-2581 Consortium this week to support the adoption and use of IPC-2581 (DPMX) for design data transfer to machines on factory floor to improve efficiency and reduce costs for electronics manufacturers. Using IPC-DPMX (IPC-2581) with IPC-CFX will deliver engineering (design) data directly to machines to streamline the process…
A wonderful short article written by Lou Shababy, a PCB Design lead at Eaton Lighting Controls Division, in this month’s issue of PCD&F Magazine. In this article Lou talks about why IPC-2581 is a better format to use. Besides the hand-off benefits, he argues that since there is intelligence in the data package, DFM checks…
Sierra Circuits also talked to Michael Ford, who is leading the IPC-1782 committee, about the use of IPC-2581 in Industry 4.0 and IPC-CFX. Michael talks about how IPC-2581 provides the Digital Product Model that is needed to implement a smart factory using IPC-CFX standard. Click here to view the interview
Sierra Circuits talked to Hemant Shah, IPC-2581 Consortium Chairman about advantages of IPC-2581 over traditional Gerber based PCB design data hand-off to manufacturing at PCB West 2018. The interview and discussion goes in who is using IPC-2581 today, why companies should use IPC-2581 and much more. Click here to view the interview
DMDII successfully manufactures three new printed circuit boards at various locations using IPC-2581
Last year, Lockheed Martin was awarded a project by Chicago’s Digital Manufacturing and Design Innovation Institute (DMDII) to launch the PCB industry into the digital age. DMDII is a collaborative innovation center where manufacturers go to forge their digital futures. DMDII equips U.S. factories with the digital tools and expertise they need to begin building…
