Lead-Free Zone Blog

Hi, this is Design News contributing editor, Rob Spiegel. Welcome to my Lead-Free Zone blog. This is your opportunity (and mine) to discuss RoHS and other environmental issues. Green regulations have produced waves of industry confusion, and I do not expect things to clear up quickly. So use this blog to inform us of your opinions, to instruct us all on what you're doing about this initiative, or just to blow off some steam.

iNEMI offers workshop for feedback into its Roadmap

The International Electronics Manufacturing Initiative (iNEMI) will present a workshop of technologies critical to electronics manufacturing on May 14 at its headquarters in Herndon, Va. The iNEMI Roadmap Workshop will offer a sneak peek at work in progress, and workshop participants can produce feedback and direction to ensure the final chapters of iNemi’s roadmap will reflect the sate of the industry. “These workshops are a very important part of the roadmap development process, providing our Technology Working Groups with valuable feedback on their chapters,” says Chuck Richardson, iNEMI director or roadmapping. “The workshops also provide useful information to industry, so it’s a win-win situation.”

Topics to be covered include business processes and technologies such as information management; design technologies such as environmentally conscious electronics; manufacturing technologies such as board assembly and test, inspection and measurement; and component/subsystem technologies such as packaging, interconnect substrates, passive components, organic and printed electronic, and more. The registration deadline is May 8.
