Ask your assembly equipment suppliers if they are already compatible with IPC-Hermes-9852. If they are not, ask them to join the movement in order to help you get the most out of your assembly shop floor. If you are a SMT equipment vendor: The Hermes Standard Initiative is as open as The Hermes Standard (IPC-HERMES-9852) itself: Active participation is open to all assembly equipment manufacturers. Global cooperation is enabled by state-of-the-art web-based collaboration tools. Download the specification and even implement The Hermes Standard for free, even if you don’t want to join the initiative as an active participant.

The Hermes Standard (IPC-HERMES-9852): Full board data availability, maximum line throughput and traceability The global standard for M2M communication in SMT assembly The Hermes Standard (IPC-HERMES-9852) guarantees smooth machine-to-machine communication particularly in a mixed-vendor SMT assembly environment. It provides a powerful backbone for board-flow-related data management. Electronics manufacturers can now focus on their workflows rather than dealing with communication issues when optimizing their factory floor. The Hermes Standard (IPC-HERMES-9852) is the new generation successor of...
