October 2016 • The PCB Magazine 81 5 Happy's Essential Skills: CIM and Automation Planning, Part 1 There is a lot of talk and information about automation, but I find that there is very little avail- able on automation planning. This is one of my special- ties. I started by getting a master's in EE in control theory. This went well with my B.S. in chemical engineering as I specialized in process control and IC manufacturing. 6 Printed Circuits, Inc. Hires Ed Andrews as Director of Quality Systems Rigid-flex circuit board manu- facturer Printed Circuits Inc. has hired Ed Andrews as their director of quality systems. 7 Happy's Essential Skills: CIM and Automation Planning, Part 2—Six Principles of Automation In Part 1 of this column, I dis- cussed the foun- dation of CIM and the princi- ples of automa- tion planning. In Part 2, we will as- sume that all the necessary preparations in strategy and tactics have been completed. How does it all fit together for successful implementation? This problem affects large, wealthy companies as well as the smallest job shop. 8 Standard of Excellence: Communication Breeds Success We all need to talk to one another. You need to work closely with your custom- ers. And we all need to work with the new genera- tion of PCB designers and design engineers, many of whom have never set foot in a board shop. Fortunately, they make up for their lack of DFM knowledge with their hunger for information. 9 Sunstone Circuits Announces RF/Microwave Capabilities Sunstone Circuits has announced the addition of RF/mi- crowave materials (high speed/low loss) for 1- and 2-layer boards. J Continuous Roll-process Technology for Transferring and Packaging Flexible Large-scale Integrated Circuits A research team led by Profes- sor Keon Jae Lee from KAIST and by Dr. Jae-Hyun Kim from KIMM has jointly devel- oped a continu- ous roll-process- ing technology that transfers and packages flexible large-scale integrated circuits.
