Statistical Trends in Counterfeit Electronic Supply Chains
It’s been over 10 years since the industry as a whole began to address the growing threat of counterfeit product in the electronic supply chain. Numerous standards, dozens of conferences, and untold presentations have been produced in an effort to educate our industry. After all that work, has there been a quantifiable impact across the supply chain or are we trying to address the wrong root causes?
Presentation By: Gary Beckstedt Director of Operations Flip Electronics
Gary Beckstedt heads the quality and inspection labs for the company as well as managing all logistics operations. Gary’s role requires him to institute and direct all quality management programs and processes as well as performing internal audits. Among his many challenges, Gary has the responsibility to ensure that Flip Electronics’ ISO/ANSI standards and certification programs, ESD programs, inspection and counterfeit detection process, and personnel training are all in compliance with their respective requirements and procedures. Gary helps to identify and track industry changes that affect the supply chain and supports the industry as a whole by serving on the G19-D committee that is tasked with maintaining the AS6081 standard. He is the company’s principal spokesperson in matters related to quality and methods of detection and abatement of counterfeit and suspect electronic parts.

Atlanta SMTA 23RD Annual EXPO
Thursday, April 11, 2019 | 10:30AMLocation: *******NEW LOCATION***** TECH PARK ATLANTA 107 Technology Pkwy NW, Peachtree Corners, GA 30092 *******NEW LOCATION*****

Our traditional venue at the Infinite Energy Center is going through some major renovations and for that reason, among others, we are relocating in 2019 to Atlanta Tech Park. Conveniently located in the Peachtree Corners/Norcross area where “Atlanta high-tech” began back in the 70's, the facility is new and spacious. Exciting new features for exhibitors include video monitors throughout the show floor where your ads can be running continuously during the show.
The new venue also allows us to choose our own catering company which means a hot buffet lunch and a beer/wine reception at the end of the show. No more box lunches.
We are finalizing the technical program and should have details soon. Pete Waddell will be back with his Designers Round Table plus more technical sessions to be announced.
We are very excited about our local charity partner this year. Canine Assistance has been training service dogs for over 27 years in Alpharetta. They have an incredible history and story to tell. Come to the Expo to meet some of their beautiful furry students!
