Industry Industrial Manufacturing · IOT · PCB / SMT Production
Technology YOLOv8/v11 · Thermal Imaging · Deep Learning · MES/ERP Integration
Status Production Ready
Deployment On-premises, edge-capable, integrated into SMT production line
Client Persona
Custom PCB manufacturers producing high-density circuit boards and product firms using these PCBs to build hardware products.
Business Challenge
Hardware product firms and startups start with custom PCB fabrication. Tracking issues in these critical inputs is time consuming and expensive, however missed issues can lead to significant brand and financial impact. One of our reviews found the following issues:
Manual inspection missed catching micro-defects and thermal hotspots.
Human fatigue and subjective judgment caused inconsistent quality outcomes.
Fragmented inspection data created traceability gaps and delayed root cause analysis.
Higher rework, scrap, and field failure risks increased operational costs and impacted customer satisfaction.
We developed an Augmented Optical Intelligence (AOI) solution which blended Computer Vision and Thermal Inspection. This was integrated directly into the SMT production line for real-time defect detection.
Key features of the solution:
- Detects solder bridges, insufficient solder, tombstoning, misalignment, open circuits, trace defects, and overheating zones.
- Performs continuous visual and thermal inspection of every PCB.
- Triggers automated alerts and line-control actions for defective boards.
