Interactive iNEMI Roadmap Sessions Scheduled at IPC APEX EXPO
Dedicated teams are working to create new content for the iNEMI Roadmap, and we are looking for input from many contributors. Join us at IPC APEX EXPO on January 24 for two open brainstorming sessions on topics related to PCB and board assembly with iNEMI Director of Roadmapping Francis Mullany, joined by iNEMI Board Member Ranjan Chatterjee (Cimetrix), who is Co-chair of the Smart Manufacturing topic, and Tarja Rapala (EIPC), Co-chair of the PCB topic.
Roadmapping Smart Manufacturing for PCB Manufacturing and Board Assembly Smart manufacturing has been long positioned as a key transformation for electronics manufacturing; however, the rate of adoption has been variable across the electronics supply chain. This interactive workshop session will explore the challenges in the deployment of smart manufacturing in PCB manufacturing and board assembly. It is scheduled for Tuesday, January 24, 8:00-9:30 a.m., location 10. For additional information.
Roadmapping Future Application Drivers and Requirements for PCBs This session will explore the technical drivers and requirements for PCBs and how they will evolve over time, segmented by application class: consumer, high-performance computing, flexible electronics and harsh environments. It is scheduled for Tuesday, January 24, 10:00-11:30 a.m., location 10. For additional information.

5G/6G MAESTRO Workshop Scheduled
iNEMI, along with several partners, is developing the 5G/6G mmWave Materials and Electrical Test Technology (5G/6G MAESTRO) as part of the NIST Advanced Manufacturing Technology (MfgTech) Roadmap. The goal of this roadmap is to create a foundation of knowledge and expertise in the U.S. to support the development and manufacturing of leading edge 5G and 6G products. Join us February 9 for an introduction to the roadmap creation and a status update, including highlights of the progress to date with reports from:
- Georgia Institute of Technology: Identification of Next Generation Materials and Testing Needs — a status report on dielectric properties together with suggestions about where work is needed to move into the 5G and 6G bands.
- Florida International University: mmWave System Design Analysis/Trends and Recommendations — key advances in system architectures and package integration that will enable future mmWave systems.
