From the Show: Counterfeiting Panel
April 1, 2009 |Estimated reading time: Less than a minute
LAS VEGAS Jim Williams, Ph.D., chairman and founder of Polyonics, will hold a forum titled "Counterfeit Electronics" today, April 1, from 10:15-11:45 am.
This interactive forum will provoke discussion among participants on actions being taken, and contemplated, to fight counterfeiting within the electronics manufacturing community. The emphasis will be on action-oriented "eco-system" approaches to fighting the problem, rather than fighting the counterfeiters along traditional paths (e.g. PCB board materials, components, etc), which results in fragmented strategies.
For example, will "electronic pedigrees" become a useful means in this battle? How can some of the technologies available be implemented without "re-tooling" the entire manufacturing process? It seems clear that all segments of the industry have a shared responsibility and must work in concert, to detect, avoid and prevent counterfeit electronics products from reaching the marketplace, especially as health and safety issues become evident.
