iNEMI Roadmap Highlights Series
Portable & Wireless - Wednesday, May 6, 2020
Smart Manufacturing - Wednesday, May 13, 2020
Webinars are open to anyone; advance registration is required.
Portable & Wireless
Highlights of iNEMI’s Portable & Wireless chapter will include critical factors that enable portable and wireless devices to continue leading electronics manufacturing in production volumes and technical breakthroughs. A variety of key products and services offered in the portable and wireless space demand innovations in advanced packaging, design and miniaturization. Transitioning from 4G LTE to 5G mmWave-based communications protocols introduces unique challenges that are expected to drive disruptive changes in packaging, testing strategies and integration trends in smartphone and other portable chipsets. Major trends such as cost and form factor, co-design and tool needs, shifts in the supply chain structure, and the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in the mobile space will be presented.

Connect the Dots: Designing for Reality—The Pre-Manufacturing Process
05/08/2024 | Matt Stevenson -- Column: Connect the DotsI have been working with Nolan Johnson on a podcast series about designing PCBs for the reality of manufacturing. By sharing lessons learned over a long career in the PCB industry, we hope to shorten learning curves and help designers produce better boards with less hassle and rework. Episode 2 deals with the electronic pre-manufacturing process. Moving from CAD (computer-aided design) to CAM (computer-aided manufacturing) is a key step in PCB manufacturing. CAM turns digital designs into instructions that machines can use to actually build the PCB.
