Beyond PDFs: The Next Generation of Electronics Compliance

07/28/2026 | I-Connect007 Editorial Team
Why should electronics manufacturers care about the new IPC Supplier Declaration Standards? Because compliance with global government regulations means manufacturers are expected to collect, verify, and exchange unprecedented amounts of supply chain data, often across hundreds of suppliers and thousands of components. Even more, it must be managed and exchanged efficiently, accurately, and at scale. Yet many engineers, supply chain professionals, compliance managers, and purchasing teams still rely on spreadsheets, PDFs, and manual processes that were never designed to operate at today's scale.

06/23/2026 | Sean Patterson, CrossGen AI

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

06/12/2026 | Nolan Johnson, I-Connect007
It’s nearly the summer solstice, and here in the Pacific Northwest, the changing of the seasons will be like walking through a door. This week, while it’s still spring, we’ve been trudging through daytime highs of barely 60°F (15°C) with weather cells bringing rain squalls, thunderstorms, or gale-force winds. Next week, just as we approach the start of Summer, we’ll be sweltering near 100°F (38°C). So, while I wear a jacket at my desk today, in just a few days I’ll be wearing summer gear. I take this as a gentle reminder to always plan for the short term and the long term simultaneously.

American Made Advocacy: Rebuilding America’s Military Stockpiles Begins With Microelectronics

04/28/2026 | Shane Whiteside -- Column: American Made Advocacy
Current world events demonstrate the fragility of long-distance supply chains transiting multiple zones of conflict. The U.S. military is currently drawing down supplies of key munitions and other electronic systems at unprecedented rates.1Every one of those systems is powered by printed circuit boards. The American PCB industry has kept pace with peacetime demand for the defense industry, but will now be called upon to increase production to a wartime footing at rates not seen in decades.
