Identifying Emerging and Disruptive Technologies - 2015 Roadmap

The iNEMI Roadmap has become recognized as an important tool for defining the “state of the art” in the electronics industry as well as identifying emerging and disruptive technologies.  It also includes keys to developing future iNEMI projects and setting industry R&D priorities over the next 10 years.

The 2015 Roadmap was developed by five Product Emulator Groups (PEGs) and 19 Technology Working Groups (TWGs). There is one additional chapter on Test, developed in 2013, also included.  The PEGs and TWGs are defined below. The TWGs responded to the inputs and requirements outlined by representatives of OEMs in the five Product Emulator Groups (PEGs). These groups included more than 500 direct participants from over 280 private corporations, consortia, government agencies, and universities in 20 countries.

Five Product Emulators for the 2015 Roadmap

Industry Sector	Product Characteristics
Automotive	Products that must operate in an automotive environment
Consumer/Office Systems	Driven by the need for maximum performance over a wide range of cost targets
High-End Systems	Products that serve the high-performance computing, server, data storage, networking, datacom and telecom markets
Medical	Products that must be highly reliable and, in some cases, support life-critical applications
Portable/Wireless	Produced in high volumes, cost is the primary driver; hand-held, battery powered products are also driven by size and weight reduction

 

The 2015 iNWEMI Roadmap  is now on sale. As the only industry roadmap that looks at the entire supply chain, the iNEMI Roadmap delivers in-depth information about the challenges and opportunities facing the electronics manufacturing industry over the next 10 years. It also provides direction regarding the technologies required to meet the ever-evolving needs of this rapidly diversifying and growing industry.

Identifying Emerging and Disruptive Technologies - 2015 Roadmap

iNEMI Roadmap 2014 New Initiatives

iNEMI (International Electronics Manufacturing Initiative) has identified nine new topics to be pursued for new project development this year. The potential projects are diverse, ranging from automotive (new materials and specifications for high-power and high-density PCBs used under the hood), to medical electronics (testing of implantable devices), to recommendations for high-reliability soldering of QFN-type packages for high-reliability applications.

How Initiatives were Identified

These new initiatives were identified through a survey of iNEMI members and the electronics industry at large to determine support for potential initiatives identified by the 2013 Roadmap and in subsequent gap analysis discussions.

We received input from 165 individuals representing a good mix of companies up and down the supply chain, along with research institutes and universities, and with strong input from all three major geographic regions.

Factors in the Final Choice

In making the final determination, we looked for critical mass in the number of organizations that indicated an interest in participating in a specific initiative, and assessed the potential leadership for these efforts. We also assessed our members’ interests and needs, along with several other factors.

Next Steps

We will develop formation teams for these nine initiatives between now and the end of Q2. People who volunteered to co-chair and who indicated interest in a specific topic will be asked to participate in the initial Statement of Work (SOW) definition. When the draft SOW is in place, we will issue a call for participation to all other interested parties.

The iNEMI Roadmap has become recognized as an important tool for defining the “state of the art” in the electronics industry as well as identifying emerging and disruptive technologies.  It also includes keys to developing future iNEMI projects and setting industry R&D priorities over the next 10 years.

The roadmap identifies major trends in the evolution of technology across numerous disciplines, with an emphasis on identifying potentially disruptive events (business and technology). It provides the information needed to identify critical technology and infrastructure gaps, prioritize R&D needs to meet those gaps, and initiate activities that address industry needs.

Through its roadmaps, iNEMI charts future opportunities and challenges for the electronics manufacturing industry.  Current version, the 2013 iNEMI Roadmap is the most comprehensive roadmap published to date by the International Electronics Manufacturing Initiative (iNEMI).  The 2013 Roadmap was developed by 20 Technology Working Groups (TWGs) in response to inputs regarding technology needs from representatives of OEMs in six Product Emulator Groups (PEGs).
