Thursday, 30th June 2022 | 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Michael Ford (Aegis Software) and Cameron Shearon (Raytheon Technologies)
Overview
Ingress of counterfeit, implemented through physical materials, software alteration through cyberattack, as well as tampering with IP such as design data or Bill of Materials, needs to be prevented if we are to build products on which we depend safety and security.
In this course, from the manufacturing perspective, we look at the various risks associated with counterfeit, and how they are addressed with simple holistic practices within manufacturing, based around material and process traceability. Adoption of several new and existing IPC standards will be considered, and their relationships as they work together to eliminate the risk of effects of counterfeit activity, seeking to ultimately destroy the counterfeit business case, through clear assignment and visibility of responsibility, but without loss of privacy.
About the Instructors
Michael Ford, Aegis Corporation
Working for Aegis Software provides Michael with the opportunity to apply his years of electronics assembly manufacturing experience, to drive both business process and technology solution innovation with customers and partners, that satisfies evolving needs in digital manufacturing, in a way that is value-driven and sustainable. Starting his career with Sony, including eight years working in Japan, Michael has been instrumental in creating and evolving leading software solutions for assembly manufacturing, that meet the most demanding expectations, leading the industry forward. Today, Michael is an established thought leader for Industry 4.0 and digital Smart factories, an active contributor to IPC industry standards, including the Connected Factory Exchange (CFX) and IPC-1782 traceability standard, as well as helping promote and position others that together form IPCs digital manufacturing “best practices”. Michael regularly contributes articles, columns, and blogs in several leading industry publications.
Cameron Shearon, Raytheon Technologies
Cameron Shearon is a Principal Materials Engineer with Raytheon Missile & Defense. He is the lead for Destructive Physical Analysis and Commercial Services Business. Prior to his current role he was the owner of Shearon-Consulting, 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 co-chairs IPC 1782, a global component traceability standard, which has been adopted by the US Department of Defense, 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. He has also worked as a Process Engineer in a Wafer Fab, as well as, a Failure Analysis Engineer, and Product Safety Engineer in an R&D Environment, a Lead Quality Engineer with AT&T’s Global Supply Chain, and a Reliability Engineer with AT&T Labs. ETSI adopted and published his contribution in early 2016, which established the fundamental foundation for his current work of developing a standard portfolio of very granular in situ custom probe level metrics, as well as, an expandable & extendable framework for those metrics along with an associated governance structure for the new global software-defined telecommunications networks that can be used by Big Data groups among others to help make everyday decisions. Cameron chaired the Multi-Standard Development Organization (SDO) metric effort for TM Forum and includes members from ETSI, NIST, and QuEST Forum. In addition, he chaired the NFV Metric Landscape effort for Quest Forum. Cameron has participated as a member in a multiple-phase TM Catalyst project that has won several awards (e.g., Best Technical Contribution, Best In Show). Cameron is on the SMTA / CALCE Counterfeit Symposium Technical Committee.
