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.
Counterfeit Concerns: Navigating the Risks
10/23/2024 | Nolan Johnson, SMT007 MagazineNolan Johnson meets with Diganta Das, PhD, and Michael Azarian, PhD, research scientists at the CALCE Electronic Products and Systems Center at the University of Maryland, to discuss the increasing issue of counterfeiting in the electronics and assembly industry. Diganta and Michael highlight the need for robust detection methods and standards to mitigate risks, specifically referencing SAE AS6171 for inspection and AS5553 for counterfeit mitigation. They cover real-world cases, like counterfeit network equipment scandals to relatively simple issues of consumer electronics accessories to illustrate the complexity of the issue and debate the philosophical implications of labeling products that contain a few minor counterfeit components as “counterfeit.”
ERAI: The Counterfeit Watchdog
10/16/2024 | Nolan Johnson, SMT007 MagazineRick Smith is vice president of business development at ERAI, an organization founded in 1995 as a watchdog for the electronic component distribution section, aiming to combat bad business practices and counterfeiting. Rick definitely has some stories to tell about the hows and whys of counterfeiting, and breaks down some compelling numbers when it comes to fake parts being sold into the open market.
