PCBECI Equipment Networking Pilot Team Formed in Taiwan
February 22, 2019 | DigitimesEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
A PCBECI (PCB equipment communication interface) equipment networking pilot team, organized by Taiwan Printed Circuit Association (TPCA), has kicked off operation seeking to boost network connectivity of Taiwan-made PCB equipment and help domestic PCB makers pursue smart production, according to a Digitimes report.
TPCA said Taiwan's PCB industry, though the largest in the world, lags far behind the panel industry or other semiconductor sectors in terms of digitalization or smart production, as up to 85% of automated machines adopted by PCB makers lack networking capability.

I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
11/22/2024 | Andy Shaughnessy, I-Connect007In this week’s roundup, I’m highlighting a variety of articles. We have an interview with Jess Hollenbaugh, a recent graduate working for Polar Instruments. We also have an interview with IPC’s Matt Kelly and Devan Iyer, whose white paper may provide a way forward for companies dealing with complex advanced packages. Our newest columnist Tom Yang describes the U.S. PCB industry from the point of view of a technologist from another country, and Dan Beaulieu has a review of Malcolm Gladwell’s follow-up to The Tipping Point. Finally, we have my review of PCB Carolina, a one-day tabletop show that keeps expanding, much like my waistline after eating their catered food. Enjoy!
