Watch & learn the final episode!
Episode 12, “Smarter Manufacturing through Inspection,” from Koh Young’s new micro webinar series ‘Smarter Manufacturing Enabled with Inspection Data’ is available now.
In this final episode of the series, Koh Young topic expert Ivan Aduna highlights how inspection data, when converted into meaningful information, can contribute significantly to every stage of the SMT line and provide real insights into the root causes of faults, enabling manufacturers to improve production performance and efficiency.
This short 12-part webinar series was designed to complement Koh Young's book, The Printed Circuit Assembler’s Guide to...SMT Inspection, Today, Tomorrow and Beyond, and with each episode lasting just a few minutes, viewers can easily complete the entire series in under an hour. It covers topics such as secure data collection, AI-powered data management and analysis, and leveraging the IPC CFX-QPL to succeed in the transformation to Industry 4.0 and more.

I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
04/04/2025 | Nolan Johnson, I-Connect007There was big news throughout the week on a global economic scale. Everything is moving so fast it’s hard to follow. I sat in on a webinar about the U.S. tariff changes announced on April 2, and even the policy wonks, whose life’s purpose is to be expert in these things, couldn’t keep up. One speaker was checking government information websites, and listening to the news on the television even as she gave her update.
Bridging the Gap Between PCB Designers and Fabricators
04/03/2025 | Stephen V. Chavez, Siemens EDAWith today’s advanced EDA tools, designing complex PCBs in the virtual world does not necessarily mean they can be built in the real world. This makes the relationship between a PCB designer and a fabricator pivotal to the success of a project. In keeping with solid design for manufacturing (DFM) practices, clear and frequent communication is needed to dial and lock in design constraints that meet expectations while addressing manufacturing concerns.

Connect the Dots: Stop Killing Your Yield—The Hidden Cost of Design Oversights
04/03/2025 | Matt Stevenson -- Column: Connect the DotsI’ve been in this industry long enough to recognize red flags in PCB designs. When designers send over PCBs that look great on the computer screen but have hidden flaws, it can lead to manufacturing problems. I have seen this happen too often: manufacturing delays, yield losses, and designers asking, “Why didn’t anyone tell me sooner?” Here’s the thing: Minor design improvements can greatly impact manufacturing yield, and design oversights can lead to expensive bottlenecks. Here’s how to find the hidden flaws in a design and avoid disaster.
