Designing for a More ‘Intelligent’ and Connected Future

09/15/2026 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007 Magazine
With more collaborative and computationally demanding PCB designs, cloud-based workflows are rapidly moving from possibility to reality. But greater connectivity also raises new questions about data security, intellectual property, and the sharing of design information in an increasingly complex electronics ecosystem. In this interview, Kristin Moyer of the Global Electronics Association explores the benefits and challenges of cloud-based design environments, the growing importance of standardized data transfer protocols such as IPC-1751 and IPC-2581, and why a secure, intelligent data ecosystem will be essential for the future of co-design, automation, and advanced electronics manufacturing.

I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week

08/21/2026 | Michelle Te, I-Connect007
Some situations came up for me this week (delayed flights and malfunctioning work software) that highlighted how much we rely on tools every day. When they’re working, we barely think about them. When they’re not, we’re suddenly reminded of everything else that has to be in place for the work to get done: good processes, knowledgeable people, communication, teamwork, and sometimes ingenuity.

It’s Only Common Sense: Build Your Business on Reputation, Not Neglect

05/18/2026 | Dan Beaulieu -- Column: It's Only Common Sense
Two things in business compound whether you like it or not: interest and reputation. One builds in the background while you’re busy doing other things. The other erodes quietly while you’re distracted by “more important” priorities. Both move slowly at first and accelerate over time. Eventually, they become impossible to ignore. What you do consistently becomes who you are publicly.

Nolan’s Notes: Our Spotlight on North America

05/05/2026 | Nolan Johnson -- Column: Nolan's Notes
In this issue of SMT007 Magazine, we wrap up our electronics world tour with a final stop in the United States and Canada, where we look at the challenges, opportunities, and geopolitical dynamics affecting the market today. What makes American electronics unique? Key U.S. administration policy decisions, like tariffs, are significantly affecting electronics manufacturing. Others, such as the current conflict with Iran and the associated closures of the Strait of Hormuz, affect the raw materials that feed our supply chain.

It's Only Common Sense: See Your Marketing as a Discipline, Not a Department

04/27/2026 | Dan Beaulieu -- Column: It's Only Common Sense
What does marketing mean to you? Is it a corner office with cool posters on the wall? Is it the person running your LinkedIn page or the trade show booth with the shiny graphics and the bowl of candy? Yes, marketing is those things, but it’s more than that. It’s a discipline, and if you treat it like a department, you’re already losing.
