The Hermes Standard
The Hermes Standard, listed under IPC-HERMES-9852, is a modern machine-to-machine communication protocol customized for PCB assembly lines. On the way towards factories according Industry 4.0 standards, the Hermes protocol is an elementary component which the previous SMEMA standard interface was not able to implement. Continuous use of The Hermes Standard enables higher automation of the line control as well as consistent traceability.
