Micheal Ford answered our questions about IPC-2581 at PCB West 2018.

0:10 Could you give us some idea about yourself and your association with IPC-2581?
0:53 Can you give us the genesis of Industry 4.0?
4:04 Could you elaborate on the use of IPC-2581 in your Industry 4.0 concept?
5:23 What happens with IPC-2581 when a manufacturer modifies the original customer's data for manufacturing?
7:30 So what you are saying is that it is possible to do editing and also maintain traceability?
8:00 What if designers forget to remove some traces, planes, etc. that could create a problem in manufacturing when they create a Gerber? Can IPC-2581 handle these issues?
8:53 Why has Aegis chosen to support IPC-2581?
10:38 If we were to convert our manufacturing to IPC-2581, what do we need to do?
11:45 In SMT programming, you create an SMT program based on X, Y data. Is this going to change in the IPC-2581 scenario?
12:59 So if you have the IPC-2581 files of ten jobs which have to be done in succession by a set of lines, you can send them all to the machines and everything will be taken care of?
