An Update on the IPC E-Textiles Committee’s Standards Activities (Room Booth A859)

Tracks: Campfire: Advanced Textiles

The e-textiles industry is on the verge of going from a boutique industry to one that will involve mass production and end-products that will span all market segments, from consumer wearables to military, automotive, medical and aerospace. Although this will result in fantastic opportunities for e-textiles technologist and component suppliers, it will also present many challenges around reliability, mass production and quantifying a global supply chain. For the past two years, volunteers from the global e-textiles and printed electronics supply chain and user base have come together through the IPC E-Textiles Committee to develop solutions to these and many other issues through the development of industry standards. Chris will discuss the benefits of IPC international standards, provide updates on the activities of the IPC E-Textiles Committee and share how conference attendees can participate in shaping these standards and new standards.
