iNEMI Unified Equipment Interaction Methodology Webinar
April 10, 2024 | iNEMIEstimated reading time: 1 minute
iNEMI’s Unified Equipment Interaction Methodology Project was a collaboration between manufacturers and equipment suppliers to validate the feasibility and ease of implementation of SEMI standards being developed as part of the SEMI North America Fab & Equipment Computer and Device Security Task Force (CDS). The project team evaluated the proposed implementation of draft SEMI standard 6926: Specification for Equipment Operator Access Management and Monitoring and provided iterative feedback to the SEMI Task Force to ensure what is being codified is implementable and sustainable in practice.
This webinar will report on the team’s proof-of-concept work, which focused primarily on how users interact with equipment on the factory floor, taking into consideration several aspects of the proposed standard, including authentication, authorization, logging, technology, recovery/failures, access control for equipment and interactions with users on the floor. The goal was to help establish a standard that makes those interactions uniform across vendors and equipment in order to, ultimately, reduce downtime, minimize errors, and increase overall productivity.

The Chemical Connection: Sales Organization from a Capital Equipment Perspective
07/22/2025 | Don Ball -- Column: The Chemical ConnectionThe sales organization for a capital equipment supplier to the PCB industry tends to differ slightly from a supplier that manufactures and sells circuit boards to their customers. After all, our sales depend on the printed circuit board manufacturer’s sales. If business falls off, you tend to delay or reconsider the need for new or upgraded capital equipment, and then our sales fall off. If your sales go up and you need to increase capacity or replace old equipment, our sales also trend upwards.
IPC-CFX, 2.0: How to Use the QPL Effectively
07/02/2025 | Chris Jorgensen, Global Electronics AssociationIn part one of this series, we discussed the new features in CFX Version 2.0 and their implications for improved inter-machine communication. But what about bringing this new functionality to the shop floor? The IPC-CFX-2591 QPL is a powerful technical resource for manufacturers seeking CFX-enabled equipment. The Qualified Product List (QPL) helps streamline equipment selection by listing models verified for CFX compliance through a robust third-party virtual qualification process.

Smart Automation: The Power of Data Integration in Electronics Manufacturing
06/24/2025 | Josh Casper -- Column: Smart AutomationAs EMS companies adopt automation, machine data collection and integration are among the biggest challenges. It’s now commonplace for equipment to collect and output vast amounts of data, sometimes more than a manufacturer knows what to do with. While many OEM equipment vendors offer full-line solutions, most EMS companies still take a vendor-agnostic approach, selecting the equipment companies that best serve their needs rather than a single-vendor solution.
