June 16, 2021 | SMTAEstimated reading time: 1 minute
The SMTA and the Center for Advanced Life Cycle Engineering (CALCE) have announced the 2021 technical program for the annual Symposium on Counterfeit Parts and Materials is finalized. Registration is now open for both the event and sponsorships. The event will proceed with a virtual format with live Q&A from August 3-5, 2021.
This symposium covers all aspects of changes in the electronic parts supply chain on how an organization performs part selection and management through the whole life cycle of the parts. Going beyond anecdotes and examples of counterfeit components, this symposium focuses on the solutions that are available and are under development by all sectors of the industry.
The technical program takes place on August 3 and August 4. Presentations will be accessible during the scheduled times indicated in the technical program. Presentations by experts from organizations such as IBM Corporation, Lockheed Martin Missiles & Fire Control, Naval Surface Warfare Center, Siemens, The Aerospace Corporation, several universities and more.
A full-day Professional Development Course, “Counterfeit Parts Detection Using SAE AS6171,” instructed by Michael Azarian, Ph.D., CALCE, University of Maryland, is scheduled for Thursday, August 5. Advance registration is required.
Further details and registration for sponsorships and the symposium are available online at https://smta.org/counterfeit/

Ensuring Compliance With the U.S. CHIPS Act: Identifying the Source of Electronic Components
01/13/2025 | Dr. Eyal Weiss, CybordThe U.S. CHIPS Act aims to strengthen domestic semiconductor manufacturing and enhance supply chain security. As part of this initiative, manufacturers must ensure compliance with specific regulations regarding the sourcing of electronic components. This white paper provides an overview of the compliance requirements, relevant laws and standards, and introduces innovative technological solutions to verify the provenance of electronic components.
Counterfeit Detection: Cybord’s Accurate One-Two Punch
11/13/2024 | Nolan Johnson, I-Connect007To continue the counterfeit discussion from our October issue, I recently connected with Oshri Cohen, CEO of Cybord, to discuss advancements in both counterfeit detection and data analytics. To hear Oshri describe Cybord’s work is to realize that real-time counterfeit detection technologies can also contribute directly to improving process windows in production.
Combatting Advanced Techniques in Counterfeiting
10/30/2024 | Anthony BryantIn today's interconnected global marketplace, counterfeit electronics pose a significant threat to industries ranging from aerospace and defense to healthcare and telecommunications. As counterfeiters employ increasingly sophisticated techniques, the need for robust strategies to prevent, mitigate, and identify counterfeit components has become critical. This article explores the advanced techniques used in counterfeiting, the potential involvement of state-owned enterprises (SOEs), and comprehensive strategies for combating this pervasive issue.
