Overview
This class is being offered as part of the SMTA/CALCE Symposium on Counterfeit Parts and Materials.
Traceability is a defense against counterfeiters. When you build in verifiable traceability, you protect your product from being copied. IPC has developed a suite of standards for the electronics industry on traceability.
This course explains how to implement an exact traceability program, based on IPC-1782, to lower the risk and cost of consequences associated with the ingress of counterfeit components. Utilizing automated IIoT data collection with the IPC Connected Factory Exchange (CFX) standard leads to cost-effective, comprehensive data collection. We explain how traceability can be applied, including changes to working practices. We also show how traceability leads to increased quality, productivity, and product reliability.
Topics Covered:
- Risk Identification - the need of traceability
- The benefits of traceability
- Introduction to IPC-1782
- Traceability data collection
- Traceability data storage
- Operational guidelines for traceability data collection
- Meeting regulatory and marketplace requirements
- Traceability as part of the secure supply chain
- Open discussion
This course is for supply-chain managers, designers, component engineers, brand protection specialists, and others.
