Training AI Together—Without Sharing Private Data

05/21/2025 | Nolan Johnson, SMT007 Magazine
Artificial intelligence models work better with more data. While individual EMS companies can certainly create plenty of data over time, the broader the data set, the more insightful the AI results can be. Ben Rachinger, a research assistant at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, received the NextGen Best Paper at IPC APEX EXPO 2025. His research asks: What if a model could be created that allowed industry-wide data in the model, while still protecting proprietary information?

Real Time With... IPC APEX EXPO 2025: Best Student Technical Paper Winner—Attila Rektor

04/10/2025 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007
Attila Rektor, a Ph.D student from Boise State, won the best technical paper award at IPC APEX EXPO 2025. His paper explores enhancing the conductivity of laser-induced graphene for flexible circuits. The research, funded by SAIC, involved modulating surface energy to enable effective copper plating. This breakthrough has potential applications in flexible printed circuit boards, sensing, and biomedical devices.

New IPC White Paper Focuses on Use of Artificial Intelligence in Automated Optical Inspection in Electronics Manufacturing 

02/06/2025 | IPC
A new white paper, “Unlocking AI for Automated Optical Inspection” released today by IPC’s Chief Technologist Council, focuses on AI’s role in AOI processes for printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs). According to data within the white paper, recent advancements in technology, particularly in Cloud AI, IoT and Smart Manufacturing, have provided opportunities to further enhance AOI performance.

Istvan Novak Looks Back on History of DesignCon

01/29/2025 | Andy Shaughnessy, Design007 Magazine
Many of us have been attending DesignCon for a long time, but Samtec’s Istvan Novak has been attending DesignCon even before it was called DesignCon. A veteran signal and power integrity engineer, Istvan has been on the Technical Program Committee for over two decades, and he’s authored and co-authored a variety of award-winning conference papers. In honor of the show’s 30th anniversary, I asked Istvan to share a little about the early years of DesignCon, and how he got involved with the event.
