Koh Young Speaking on Improving Performance with CFX-enabled Machine Connectivity at SMTA Guadalajara
September 6, 2022 | Koh YoungEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Koh Young Technology, the industry-leader in True 3D measurement-based inspection solutions and a SMTA Guadalajara chapter sponsor, will be presenting about the benefits of machine connectivity using the IPC-2591 (CFX) standard. Additionally, Koh Young will delivering live demonstrations of its award-winning inspection and measurement solutions at the SMTA Guadalajara Expo and Tech Forum at the EXPO Guadalajara in Jalisco, Mexico during 21-22 September 2022.
“Leveraging IPC-CFX standards can help manufacturers improve their electronics manufacturing process while helping to realize the benefits of a smart factory,” commented Luis Rivera, MES Engineer at Koh Young America and featured speaker at the SMTA Guadalajara Technical Forum. “These tools collect factory data on defects, A person in a green shirt
Description automatically generated with medium confidenceoptimization, traceability, and more to improve metrics, increase quality, and lower costs. Yet, successful CFX implementation on the shopfloor requires confidence that equipment has been qualified to IPC-CFX. We will show how smart factory standards help improve the SMT process.” In his presentation, Luis will explore how Koh Young successfully applies real-time data to improve the production process by converting data into process knowledge using CFX and other software tools. Combined with IPC communication standards, the gates to a smart factory are open to anyone.
Luis will begin his presentation about improving process control with machine connectivity and leveraging CFX to create a smart factory on Wednesday, 21 September 2022 at 12:00 with a question-and-answer session to follow.

Fresh PCB Concepts: Designing PCBs for Harsh Environments—Reliability Is Engineered Upstream
04/23/2026 | Team NCAB -- Column: Fresh PCB ConceptsWhen engineers hear the phrase “harsh environment,” they usually think of the extreme temperature swings, vibration and shock, pressure changes, or radiation in aerospace. However, aerospace is not the only harsh environment where electronic assemblies must survive. Automotive power electronics, downhole oil and gas tools, marine controls, rail systems, defense platforms, and industrial automation equipment all expose PCBs to environments that are equally unforgiving. The stress mechanisms may differ, but the physics does not.
The Right Approach: The End of an Era—DoD Proposes MIL-PRF-31032 Cancellation
04/21/2026 | Steve Williams -- Column: The Right ApproachThe Defense Logistics Agency has initiated formal proceedings to cancel the military's primary performance specification for printed circuit boards, a move that could reshape how the U.S. defense industrial base qualifies and sources one of its most critical electronic components. On March 4, 2026, DLA Weapons Support issued a memorandum to military and industry coordination activities announcing that MIL-PRF-31032, along with its six associated specification sheets, has been proposed for cancellation. A 30-day comment period was allotted, with concurrence or comments due by April 3, 2026.
