Excerpt: The Printed Circuit Assembler s Guide to… Smart Data

The following excerpt is from The Printed Circuit Assembler s Guide to.™ Smart Data: Using Data to Improve Manufacturing book. Introduction Whenever we discuss data, keep in mind that people have been collecting data, verifying it, and translating it into reports for a long time. And if data is collected and processes are changed automatically, people still will be interpreting and verifying the accuracy of the data, creating reports, making recommendations, solving problems, tweaking, improving, and innovating. Whatever data collection system is used, any effort to digitalize needs to engage and empower the production team at the factory. Their role is to attend to the manufacturing process but also to act as the front line of communications and control.

A year ago, I was getting ready to be on the road for two weeks covering back-to-back trade shows: DesignCon and IPC APEX EXPO. Around this time last year, I was wondering if I could make that trip with just a carry-on. (I did. I may never use a big suitcase again.) In February, the whole world stopped because of COVID-19. We were all forced to come up with new ways to do our jobs, and the professionals in the PCB industry proved to be among the most creative at adapting to a changing landscape.
