IPC-CFX (Connected Factory Exchange) is a globally leading universal data exchange designed to enable efficient collaboration and real-time data exchange between devices and systems. As a key standard in the global electronics manufacturing industry, IPC-CFX has been implemented in various regions worldwide, providing the foundation for digital factory solutions. In the Asia-Pacific region, IPC actively promotes this standard, helping enterprises enhance efficiency and competitiveness through digital transformation.
As a leading manufacturer of power supplies and thermal management solutions, Delta Electronics has established multiple electronics assembly production lines globally. Building on 50 years of manufacturing experience and over 30 years of industrial control technology, Delta has been continuously advancing its global smart manufacturing projects for more than a decade.
Starting in early 2024, Delta began requiring its equipment suppliers to meet Delta's equipment networking specification. This requirement has effectively driven the adoption and implementation of IPC-CFX by equipment manufacturers in the EAS industrial supply chain, enhancing interoperability among equipment.

Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Revamp Your Components with BGA Reballing
10/14/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileBall grid array (BGA) components evolved from pin grid array (PGA) devices, carrying over many of the same electrical benefits while introducing a more compact and efficient interconnect format. Instead of discrete leads, BGAs rely on solder balls on the underside of the package to connect to the PCB. In some advanced designs, solder balls are on both the PCB and the BGA package. In stacked configurations, such as package-on-package (PoP), these solder balls also interconnect multiple packages, enabling higher functionality in a smaller footprint.
