tributions to standards
development, and

ment to global standardization efforts and
the electronics industry. José Servin has

The I-Connect007
Editorial Team
spoke with Matt
Kelly, IPC chief
technologist,
about Factory of
the Future. In this wide-ranging conversa-
tion, the team starts with the premise that fac-
tory automation is no longer a future topic,
but a concern for right now. The conversation
takes a closer look at the need for digitiza-
tion, upskilling the workforce, ensuring ROI is
gained from digitizing the factory and, at the
center of it all, the need for a strong commit-
ment to move forward as a company.

Dave Hillman on Living Your Passion
Barry Matties leads this engaging retrospective conversation
with Dave Hillman, a Fellow, Materials and Process engineer

"But how we do that keeps evolving in response to the new
technologies and smaller packages." What's the key to his
success and longevity? "Find your passion." Here's how he's
done it.
