Cameron Shearon Talks on 'Leveraging Synergies between IPC1782, IPC2581, and IPC2591 to Mitigate the Risks' of Counterfeits at the Symposium on Counterfeit Parts and Materials

Bio: Cameron Shearon is a Principal Engineer at Raytheon’s IDS division, co-chair of IPC 1782, and a SMTA Distinguished Speaker.  Cameron has given invited speeches at many international events.  He earned a BS and MS in Materials Science and Engineering from North Carolina State University.  He obtained a Physics minor for his BS and a Solid State Science minor for his MS.

Cameron initiated and chaired the development of IPC 1782, a global component traceability standard that contains four traceability levels for materials and four independent traceability levels for the process that was completed in record time with the help of many outstanding contributors, IPC Staff support, and his leadership.  As a result of his contribution to this standard, Cameron received a Committee Leadership Award from IPC at IPC APEX EXPO 2017.

Abstract: IPC-2581 is a Digital Product Model. It is an open, neutral, global standard for efficiently transferring PCB design data. IPC-1782 is the first global traceability standard designed to capture all of the process and material information that impacts SMT yield, Quality and Reliability. IPC-2591 is IPC’s Connected Factory Exchange (CFX) Internet Of Things (IOT) messaging standard. Each standard is very powerful on their own. However, when these standards are harmonized, they create a very useful tool in mitigating the risk of Counterfeits. This paper will discuss in detail how combining these tools can be leveraged to increase the trust of global SMT supply chains, as well as, many other supply chains.
