Neil Shah, senior technical director at alliantgroup, a tax and business consultancy, will present a technical education workshop, “Strategic Practices for Success: Outpacing Competitors, Optimizing Bids and Nurturing Top Talent,” on February 13, 2024, from 3:00-5:00 pm, at WHMA's Annual Global Leadership Summit in Myrtle Beach, S.C.
Shah will lead an interactive discussion on trends in the industry and provide practical advice on practices that manufacturers can implement immediately. He will detail recent legislative updates to powerful credits and incentives that have helped WHMA members claim millions in federal funds. Shah will explain how these changes apply to wire harness manufacturers and how they can benefit from these lucrative federal programs.
“In today's competitive market, businesses must be strategic in their approach to remaining competitive, lowering bids, and retaining skilled workers,” said David Bergman, WHMA executive director. “We look forward to learning how the alliantgroup, can help company owners in the cable and wire harness industry take full advantage of federal and state tax credits, incentives, and deductions in order to successfully compete both in the U.S. and abroad.”

Rules of Thumb for PCB Layout
11/21/2024 | Andy Shaughnessy, I-Connect007The dictionary defines a “rule of thumb” as “a broadly accurate guide or principle, based on experience or practice rather than theory.” Rules of thumb are often the foundation of a PCB designer’s thought process when tackling a layout. Ultimately, a product spec or design guideline will provide the detailed design guidance, but rules of thumb can help to provide the general guidance that will help to streamline the layout process and avoid design or manufacturing issues.

Flexible Thinking: Rules of Thumb: A Word to the Wise
11/20/2024 | Joe Fjelstad -- Column: Flexible ThinkingIn the early days of electronics manufacturing—especially with PCBs—there were no rules. Engineers, scientists, and technicians largely felt their way around in the dark, making things up as they went along. There was a great deal of innovation, guessing, and testing to make sure that early guidelines and estimates were correct by testing them. Still, they frequently made mistakes.
Enjoy the Journey: PCB Design Instructor Kris Moyer on His Sustainable Lifestyle
11/19/2024 | Michelle Te, IPC CommunityWhen I contacted IPC design instructor Kris Moyer to discuss his sustainable lifestyle, he responded to my text with a call. "I'm calling you from about 8,000 feet, sitting at the foot of Mammoth Lakes," he told me. “My friends and I are about to get in the pool for the afternoon." Kris can do this because he actually lives full-time in his travel-trailer at this campground. He's now a permanent camper, taking him anywhere the winds blow—and where there's strong internet service—so he can teach his PCB design classes, offer expert interviews, and live off the land.
