Atlanta, GA
– Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a buzzword often
used with business and industrial technologies. Recently, it has demonstrated
promising potential across a variety of industries – from self-driving cars to
virtual doctors – all of which, though, have been limited exclusively for
people. AI, however, has far-reaching applications within the manufacturing
sector. By combing the right AI technologies, manufacturers can boost
efficiency, improve flexibility, and even achieve self-optimizing processes.
Printed circuit board assembly is no exception. Complementing the machine
communication standards by industry associations, equipment providers like Koh
Young are enabling the smart factory by adopting AI to generate “knowledge”
from “experience.” We invite you
to attend the virtual SMTA International Conference and Exhibition. Join us
from 28 Sep-23 Oct 2020 for the On-Demand Conference & Expo and make sure
to log in for the Live Virtual Exposition from 28-30 Sep 2020. During the
event, you can learn more about how Koh Young uses its AI and Machine Learning
solutions in its Solder Paste Inspection (SPI), Automated Optical Inspection
(AOI), and Dispensing Process Inspection (DPI)
/ Conformal Coating Inspection (CCI) systems, as well as its KSMART Software
Solution Suite and the Koh Young Process Optimizer (KPO) for printers and
mounters. What’s more, Koh Young will unveil new solutions like its KY-P3 for
mixed pins and SMD technology and the Neptune T for transparent material
inspection. AI-powered
Development As the
inspection market and technology leader, Koh Young is using AI solutions to
achieve its vision to expand process capabilities and factory performance. To
realize this plan, Koh Young has created three more R&D centers to
facilitate a quantum leap in technological leadership and competitiveness.
Several of its latest offering use AI and machine learning solutions, these
include the KY-P3, Neptune T, and KSMART software suite. Automated Pin Inspection (API) Built on its
world-class True3D™ AOI technology, new enhancements to the KY-P3 help it
breakthrough barriers associated with inspecting products combining tall pins
and short SMD components. The enhanced KY-P3 lineup provides an automated
back-end solution combining advanced high-resolution optics and innovative
AI-powered vision algorithms for single, multiple, forked, and press-fit pins,
as well as final optical inspection and shrouded connectors, while also
inspecting traditional SMDs on the same product. “Typically, manufacturers
required two separate machines for SMDs and pins, but the new KY-P3 Series with
mixed technology capabilities reduces machine investments by delivering a
two-in-one solution for most applications,” stated Joel Scutchfield, Sales
Director for Koh Young America. “Because it uses a quantitative
measurement-based approach, KY-P3 accuracy and repeatability is unsurpassed.” Dispensing Process Inspection (DPI) The new
Neptune T is the industry’s first 3D optical measurement solution for transparent
material inspection. Using Koh Young LIFT technology (Laser Interferometry for
Fluid Tomography), the Neptune T delivers non-destructive 3D inspection to
precisely measure and inspect fluids – wet or dry. With its Machine Learning
algorithms, the Neptune T accurately measures materials for coverage,
thickness, and consistency with user-defined threshold settings. It also
identifies bubbles, cracks, and other defects. Besides coatings, the Neptune T
measures underfill, epoxy, bonding, adhesive, and more to deliver an exact
measurement of transparent and translucent materials. KSMART Process Control Software KSMART
revolutionizes process optimization with set of complementary software modules.
As a production process evolves, manufacturers can simply add modules as
needed. KSMART collects data from across the factory for defect detection,
real-time optimization, and traceability to improve metrics, increase quality,
and lower costs. KSMART converts data into information, and then into knowledge
for effective, quality-driven decisions. It delivers AI-powered process
analysis and improvement tools that can deliver autonomous process
optimization. In short, KSMART is the “Gateway to a Smart Factory.” SMTA International Information &
Registration This year’s
shift from an in-person conference to completely virtual event can be daunting
for some attendees. SMTA is understands and has taken numerous steps to make
attending and navigating the show simple and effective. For “how-to” videos and
a navigation overview, just visit smta.org/mpage/smtai-virtual-experience.
If you want more information, SMTA is hosting an interactive webinar to explain
the process and answer your virtual event questions. The webinar is on 16
September 2020 from 1:30 PM to 2:45 PM EST, so register today on their website smta.org or directly at register.gotowebinar.com/register/2761719630419831055. Above all,
don’t forget to register for the event at smta.org/smtai. If
you cannot attend the tradeshow, learn more about Koh Young and how its
