SMTA International Keynote Presentations Announced


Eden Prairie, MN — SMTA has announced the keynote presenta- tions for SMTA International Conference and Exhibition, which will take place at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Illinois, September 25-29. The exhibition itself will be held September 27-28. On Monday, September 26,


Dwight Howard of Delphi will give a keynote presentation on advances in autonomous driving and V2X tech- nologies. Demands for safety are pushing the limits of automotive elec- tronics. Continual advancements in automotive technologies and systems are required to meet this demand. Teams across automotive OEMs, tier one automotive electronics suppliers, academia, and transportation agen- cies within governments are pouring tremendous investment and manpow-


er into the development of break- throughs. Many of the enabling solu- tions are already available in produc- tion vehicles. Through intense devel- opment efforts, these solutions are being integrated with emerging advancements to achieve the ultimate safety environment for vehicle occu- pants. At the forefront of this are advances in autonomous driving and vehicle-to-vehicle/vehicle-to-infra- structure technology. This presentation will highlight


several key aspects of these advance- ments, including: the complex sys- tem elements, integration and cogni- tive computing required for these systems to achieve operational capa- bility, as well as the current state of the supporting subsystems required to make these capabilities possible. Also on Monday, Milena Vujosevic of Intel Corporation will


Explore, Learn and Connect at the 2016 Assembly Show


Rosemont, IL — Thousands of engi- neers, manufacturers and produc- tion managers will have the opportu- nity to evaluate the latest technolo- gies and products in custom auto- mated assembly systems, mixed model assembly, robotic assembly, workstations, welding, vision sys- tems, and much more at the fourth annual Assembly Show 2016, held from October 25-27 at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, IL. "The Assembly Show is a great


opportunity for industry profession- als to discover alternative product solutions that are more efficient and cost-effective, learn from high-profile


keynote presenters and subject mat- ter experts, and connect with indus- try leaders and peers," says Tom Esposito, publisher of ASSEMBLY Magazine, sponsor of the event. "The show is also pleased to announce the Women in Manufacturing Panel Discussion, new to the 2016 event, which will focus on recruiting and retaining women in manufacturing." According to industry statistics,


women make up 47 percent of the U.S. workforce, but only 24 percent of the personnel at durable-goods manufacturers. At a time when U.S. manufacturers are desperate to find the next generation of skilled work-

give the keynote presentation of the Women's Leadership Program. The consumer electronics market is rapid- ly evolving and the manufacturers are under tremendous pressure to build faster, better, and cheaper products with short time to market. Electronic device producers also need to ensure the devices meet their design, per- formance, quality and reliability goals. At the same time, the increas- ing complexity of products and tech- nologies requires more radical changes in materials and processes. This results in the changes in existing failure modes and the discovery of new failure modes and mechanisms, making high confidence quality and reliability risk assessments even more challenging. The qualification process needs to be optimized to meet these increasing challenges. Ms. Vujosevic will discuss a novel


approach to the definition of require- ments for package certifications. The developed methodology challenges the existing industry practices that are a basis of the industry certification stan- dards. This new methodology lever- ages the knowledge of use conditions and fundamental physics, and couples it with advanced computational mechanics modeling. The special focus is on the essential role of the physics based damage metrics in scaling from use condition to test conditions and in design for reliability. On Tuesday, Daniel Kuhl will


deliver his SMTA International keynote address, entitled "How is Your Storage?" Mr. Kuhl will present on the memory storage explosion and factors influencing global design and architecture, technology progression and infrastructure for manufacturing Continued on next page
