Breaking Down the Barriers Between Design and Manufacturing in France

10/15/2026 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007 Magazine
The IPC Designers Council France has nearly doubled since I-Connect007 last reached out to Thomas Romont, a manager at WWEC who leads the council. But growth is only part of the story. Through working groups, practical design tools, and an annual conference, the council is creating opportunities for designers, engineers, fabricators, EMS providers, and other stakeholders to solve problems together. Thomas explains how the group is addressing gaps in design guidance, improving communication between design and manufacturing, and encouraging the kind of collaboration increasingly required across the electronics industry.

It’s Only Common Sense: Make Your ‘Account’ the Whole Organization

09/28/2026 | Dan Beaulieu -- Column: It's Only Common Sense
Too many salespeople confuse personal familiarity with account penetration, but one contact does not make an account. Maybe that person likes you. She buys you lunch, answers your calls, and sends you RFQs. But what happens when she leaves or gets promoted? Then what do you have?  Nothing.

Is Material Handling the Last Frontier of Automation?

12/30/2025 | Nolan Johnson, SMT007 Magazine
In this conversation with David Ly, technical sales manager at Inovaxe, the spotlight lands on one of EMS manufacturing’s most overlooked bottlenecks: material handling. While factories invest heavily in line automation, David argues that true efficiency gains come from automating the transactional data and traceability behind every reel—not just moving parts around. From image-driven receiving to pick-to-light smart racks, he demonstrates how EMS companies can reduce labor, eliminate errors, and achieve near-continuous uptime—often with ROI measured in months, not years.
