SMH Technologies has chaired the release of the first-ever Flashing Standard officially recognized by IPC, the Global Association for Electronics Manufacturing, further consolidating its position as a worldwide leader in In-System Programming (ISP).
At Productronica 2025.
SMH Technologies authored the new global reference framework, the “IPC–9271 Guidelines for In-System Programming”, which now represents the state-of-the-art in device programming for industrial electronics, providing comprehensive guidelines for integrating programming processes within modern production environments.This achievement raises the bar for quality, productivity, and reliability across the industry, resulting from a close collaboration between SMH Technologies’ engineers and IPC’s technical staff, with the shared goal of establishing a universal and robust framework for In-System Programming.
“This is a truly significant and meaningful moment for us,”
said Claudio Stefani, President and Founder of SMH Technologies.
“Working side by side with IPC – the Global Electronics Association – in defining these standards represents not only a historic step for our industry but also a recognition of the value of our work and long-term entrepreneurial vision.”
