Interested in smart manufacturing? iNEMI is starting a new project looking into the benefits that artificial intelligence (AI) may bring to automated optical inspection (AOI) of printed circuit board assemblies. The Investigation of AI Enhancement to AOI for PCBA project will investigate the current use of AI for AOI, develop and establish common performance metrics to evaluate the AI value-add to AOI capabilities, and provide recommendations to the industry on opportunities for future improvement and implementation.
By working together with EMS and OEM users, AOI equipment vendors can better understand what to evaluate and how to apply AI technologies for their existing AOI solutions. The ultimate goal of this iNEMI project is to drive inspection efficiency and accuracy and, at the same time, leverage AI-enhanced technologies to reduce manual inspection verification and mitigate the defect escape risk.

I-Connect007
In this episode, Koh Young topic expert Ivan Aduna examines how closed-loop communication can make all the difference when it comes to inspection and achieving zero defects in your production line. Ivan also explores the importance of equipment suppliers working together to create M2M connections that allow for real-time exchange of SPI and AOI measurement data between machines—all in under four minutes.

The near future for electronics manufacturing services is all about automation and flexibility. Three key factors affect EMS companies today: the high cost of labor, maintaining a reliable supply chain, and an increasingly high variety of products being manufactured. Quality trained personnel are essential and the supply of both product components and machine parts must remain stable despite difficult geopolitical situation.
