Reading time ( words)

The 2019 iNEMI Roadmap is now available online. For this cycle, the 20+ chapters are being published in waves, every two to three weeks. New in this edition are:

• Smart Manufacturing Technology Working Group (TWG) chapter
• Refocused Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) Product Emulator Group (PEG) chapter
• Roadmap Overview, which provides an extensive synopsis of each individual chapter

iNEMI’s roadmap is a global collaborative effort, developed by more than 300 subject matter experts from all perspectives of the electronics manufacturing supply chain, including manufacturers, suppliers, consortia, government agencies and universities. Individuals from these diverse organizations share their expertise to help define the technology needs of key market segments by focusing on the market demands and functionality requirements of those segments. They also identify key technology developments anticipated and required within the supply chain to meet product needs between now and 2029.

Fourteen chapters have been published to date and are available online: Aerospace & Defense; Board Assembly; High-End Systems; Industrial Internet of Things; Mass Data Storage; MEMS & Sensors; Medical; Modeling Simulation & Design Tools; Optoelectronics; Organic PCB; Power Conversion Electronics; Semiconductor Technologies; Smart Manufacturing; and Sustainable Electronics.

The roadmap is free to iNEMI members, and chapters are $500 each for non-members, with special pricing available for not-for-profit organizations.

Show week for CES 2020 starts well ahead of the actual exhibition dates because it is huge. The organizers of CES state that there are more than 4,400 exhibiting companies and nearly three million net square feet of exhibit space. On the floor, you can find 307 of the 2018 Fortune Global 500 companies. Over the week, I-Connect007 Editors Dan Feinberg and Nolan Johnson will bring you some of the most interesting news, products, and announcements from 5G to IoT, semiconductor developments, autonomous vehicle technology, interconnect, fabrication materials, and much more.

The Department of Defense’s proposed FY 2018 budget includes a $75 million allocation for DARPA in support of a new, public-private “electronics resurgence” initiative. The initiative seeks to undergird a new era of electronics in which advances in performance will be catalyzed not just by continued component miniaturization but also by radically new microsystem materials, designs, and architectures.

Historians, with their 20/20 hindsight, often write about the inevitable decline and fall of kingdoms, empires, religions, organizations, governments, and all the other permanent structures we humans build.
