PCB Training in the Post-Pandemic World

The global semiconductor shortage is forcing PCB manufacturing companies to fast-track their production processes in 2021. Allocating PCBs to the industries with higher priorities in terms of supply is the goal of PCB manufacturing companies. That means PCBs designed for medical devices, aviation-related tools, and other high-priority products need to be manufactured at faster rates.<br>

  1. PCB Training in the Post-Pandemic World

  2. The COVID19 pandemic severely impacted the Printed Circuit Board (PCB) manufacturing industry in 2020. Many PCB manufacturing plants had to be shut down. These shutdowns also meant that PCB manufacturing and assembly professionals did not receive any new training or education. Almost every training program, workforce meeting, etc., had to be canceled. In the post-pandemic and post-lockdowns world in 2021, these companies are still struggling to return to normalcy. The global semiconductor shortage is forcing PCB manufacturing companies to fast-track their production processes in 2021. Allocating PCBs to the industries with higher priorities in terms of supply is the goal of PCB manufacturing companies. That means PCBs designed for medical devices, aviation-related tools, and other high-priority products need to be manufactured at faster rates.

  3. Such advanced manufacturing processes require trained experts. Many PCB professionals have missed 12 to 18 months of training due to the pandemic. Plus, in-house training of large groups of PCB professionals is a risk many PCB manufacturing companies aren’t willing to take. That’s why there’s an urgent need for newer PCB assembly training and hand soldering training processes. That’s where an online mobile training center can help. What are Online Mobile Training Centers? Traditional PCB or soldering training involves in-person education in packed classes. Many PCB and soldering professionals are currently unable to attend such in-person classes due to safety-related concerns. Mobile training centers are the complete opposite. These training centers are mobile. IPC-certified professionals visit different PCB manufacturing plants. Workers simply need to step out of their manufacturing plants and enjoy these rich training experiences.

  4. What’s the Need for Mobile Training Centers? Mobile training centers give all PCB or soldering professionals the chance to access the latest educational courses. Bear in mind – despite the shutdowns and delays, the IPC (Institute for Interconnecting and Packaging Electronic Circuits) hasn’t stopped innovating. In 2020 and 2021, the internationally recognized organization released several new documents and industry standards. Various important standards were also revised during this period. For instance, the “H” revision of the vital IPC J-STD-001 standard was released in October 2020. PCB or soldering professionals who want to improve their employability or efficiency at work must learn these latest IPC guidelines. IPC-certified mobile training centers give workers the chance to explore these latest guidelines and concepts. These mobile training centers combine three types of training to help soldering and PCB assembly professionals - · E-training (online education) for professionals dealing with travel restrictions. · One-on-one in-person training sessions at convenient locations. The “mobile training centers” are essentially customized 18-wheelers loaded with soldering and PCB assembly equipment. They travel to different PCB manufacturing plants. At these spots, IPC-certified instructors set up the training sessions. Workers get to conveniently and safely receive up-to-date training.

  5. · Soldering and electronic assembly professionals can also choose to visit these mobile training centers. If a mobile training center doesn’t visit your company’s manufacturing facility, you can find one in any city hotspot. Mobile training centers have made it possible for soldering and electronic assembly professionals to maintain their educational standards. PCB assembly, repair, etc., are all complex topics. Without comfortable learning environments, it’s impossible for professionals (especially new soldering assembly professionals) to learn these techniques. Inside mobile training centers, IPC-certified instructors carry all the latest soldering and assembly equipment. More importantly, these experts are well-versed in the latest IPC guidelines. Their training helps professionals make up for lost training during the pandemic. These are the reasons why mobile training centers have become critical sources of education for soldering and PCB assembly professionals.

  6. Are Mobile Training Centers Here to Stay? Yes. Although many in-person PCB and IPC training programs have resumed, mobile training centers are here to stay. Unlike conventional training programs, these centers offer the best of both worlds to professionals. Companies don’t have to invest in training equipment as the IPC-certified instructors carry their own training equipment. Secondly, their workers get to save travel expenses as they can access these classes right outside their workplaces. Accessing these IPC training sessions via the Internet is another convenient perk of mobile training centers. · Up-to-Date IPC Training: Successful implementation of IPC standards is critical for maintaining productive and cost-efficient assembly lines. When company leaders invest in mobile training centers, they indirectly invest in the future of their companies. Their workers, inspectors, and operators learn detailed descriptions of the most relevant IPC standards in 2021. They include - IPC-A-610, IPC-WHMA-A-620, IPC 7711/7721, IPC-A-600, and the IPC-J-STD-001 standard. · Learn the Latest Trends: IPC-certified instructors also discuss recent advances in PCB assembly processes with the trainees. Trainees get to learn and take advantage of the latest trends in PCB manufacturing. From learning how to manufacture high-density interconnected PCBs to creating high-power PCBs for military equipment – they learn it all.

  7. · Meet Industry Demands: Currently, demands for PCBs that can handle high current rates are skyrocketing across the globe. PCB professionals who receive timely training are likelier to help their manufacturing companies perform better. Mobile training centers are currently the gold standard of training for PCB assembly and soldering professionals!
