MEETING OF THE SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND CHAPTER OF THE IPC DESIGNERS COUNCIL Date: Wednesday, the 14th of June 2000 Where: Connies Restaurant - Derby, Ct. Time: Demonstrations: 5:00pm, Meeting 6:00pm Topic: Intelligent Data for Design Reviews John Lane from Ohio Design Automation, Inc. will speak on Intelligent Data for Design Reviews. John will discuss the necessity for effective access to complete and intelligent schematic and printed circuit board information as a key to making the design process more accurate. Part of the solution incorporates IPC-2511, Generic Requirements for Implementation of Product Manufacturing Description Data and Transfer Methodology (GenCAM), which describes printed circuit boards, printed board assembly, BGA and CSP products with all the information needed for tooling, manufacturing, assembly, inspection and testing requirements. The second part illustrates how a Design Data Browser, such as InterComm, can make all schematic or PCB data graphically accessible to anyone in the organization in an EDA-inde-pendant manner. As the EDA database represents the common information needed between engineering and manufacturing, it makes sense to give effective access to all that need it. Meeting host: OHIO Design Automation, Inc. in Nashua, NH was incorporated in 1994, and currently maintains a staff of 20 employees. Ohio's primary focus is producing cost effective tools and solutions for sharing design information enterprise wide. Their tools are used at companies such as EMC, Marconi, and Dell Computer, to name a few.
