Counterfeiting - 6 hours Intensive Hands-on Course

Suspect counterfeiting extends beyond the  parts identification process. Over the past several years, U.S. based organizations have sacrificed the traditional “internal auditing process” with too much reliance upon offshore contract manufacturers, distributors and suppliers to do the right thing. To compound the problem, organizations are accepting supplier specifications as adequate proof in utilizing a product for use. The inspection of sensitive parts is very important, but without special safeguards, the additional handling to remove and repack the product for validation can cause both physical and ESD damage in the process. For parts, including those not sensitive to static electricity, measures must be utilized to detect, inspect and validate the packaging as well as incoming parts. “It is technologically possible to provide a
hundred-fold increase in satellite-based
broadband capacity.”

Preventative protection measures against suspect counterfeiting during transport for electronic circuit cards and ESD sensitive devices must be considered.  Dog food, medical products, jewelry, consumer goods and other items have made the news.
