Scope
Information flow is essential to efficient electronics manufacturing and standards are essential to
information flow. One area of commerce that has lacked its own communication standards is the
electronics manufacturing factory floor. Information exchange between a system of electronic
assembly equipment and higher-level applications has, in the past, used proprietary or borrowed
standards. The IPC-254X and IPC-255X series of standards address this issue by defining the
messages needed for this information exchange.
