June 6, 2023 | SMTAEstimated reading time: 1 minute
The SMTA has announced the technical program for the Counterfeit Parts & Materials Symposium. The symposium will be held June 27-29, 2023 in Hyattsville, Maryland at the College Park Marriott Conference Center.
The technical program consists of over 20 industry experts, who dive into the impact of counterfeit electronic parts on the supply chain. Increasing the scope of counterfeit material presentations, this symposium focuses on the solutions that are available and are in development by all sectors of the industry. Speakers will depict the current state of counterfeiting, effects on the supply chain, avoidance and best practices, important policies, detection methods, and more.
Dr. Peter Majewicz, the Program Manager of the NASA Goddard Space Center NEPP Program, will keynote this symposium. On Wednesday, June 27, 2023, Majewicz will commence the technical program with his presentation titled, “Commercial Electronics in NASA Missions – Many Benefits, But What About the Risks?”
To conclude this symposium, there will be two professional development courses to choose from. On Thursday, June 29, the courses will be presented from 8:30 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. Diganta Das, Ph.D., CALCE, University of Maryland, will be teaching the course titled, “Use of Component Documentation and Supply Chain for Counterfeit Avoidance Michael Azarian, Ph.D., CALCE, University of Maryland, will instruct the course titled, “Counterfeit Parts Detection using SAE AS6171.”
Registration for this event is now open. Access to the two-day symposium and professional development courses is included in the Full Access Conference Package, but there are other registration packages available on the registration page.

Ensuring Compliance With the U.S. CHIPS Act: Identifying the Source of Electronic Components
01/13/2025 | Dr. Eyal Weiss, CybordThe U.S. CHIPS Act aims to strengthen domestic semiconductor manufacturing and enhance supply chain security. As part of this initiative, manufacturers must ensure compliance with specific regulations regarding the sourcing of electronic components. This white paper provides an overview of the compliance requirements, relevant laws and standards, and introduces innovative technological solutions to verify the provenance of electronic components.
Counterfeit Detection: Cybord’s Accurate One-Two Punch
11/13/2024 | Nolan Johnson, I-Connect007To continue the counterfeit discussion from our October issue, I recently connected with Oshri Cohen, CEO of Cybord, to discuss advancements in both counterfeit detection and data analytics. To hear Oshri describe Cybord’s work is to realize that real-time counterfeit detection technologies can also contribute directly to improving process windows in production.
Combatting Advanced Techniques in Counterfeiting
10/30/2024 | Anthony BryantIn today's interconnected global marketplace, counterfeit electronics pose a significant threat to industries ranging from aerospace and defense to healthcare and telecommunications. As counterfeiters employ increasingly sophisticated techniques, the need for robust strategies to prevent, mitigate, and identify counterfeit components has become critical. This article explores the advanced techniques used in counterfeiting, the potential involvement of state-owned enterprises (SOEs), and comprehensive strategies for combating this pervasive issue.
