Developing an Integrated 3D Inspection Solution
By Mary Kim, Marketing Manager, Koh Young
monitor PCBs on their way down the production line. Broad market demands for accuracy, quality and automation have pushed inspection providers to deliver solutions that make up integrated inspection sys- tems capable of performing a variety of tasks simultaneously and commu- nicating with other machines. In anticipation of Industry 4.0 — the ideal of an autonomous production facility —manufacturers are creating inspection systems that offer func- tionality beyond the production line, including machine-to-network com- munication, data storage, machine- learning, and data analytics.

Total 3D Inspection Solution A pioneer in the field of 3D
inspection technology and equipment for the SMT market is Koh Young, which now offers its “Total 3D Inspection and Process Optimization Solution” for electronics manufactur- ing and PCB assembly. The compa- ny’s solutions range from highly- developed solder paste inspection (SPI) systems for process optimiza- tion to automated optical inspection systems (AOI) for the inspection of assembled circuits. These systems
oday’s inspection systems have moved far beyond simple, iso- lated machines that passively
are driven by innovative software controls and data analysis capabili-
from various inspection systems (3D SPI, pre-reflow 3D AOI and post-
ment value database integrated with the company’s entire line of 3D meas- urement-based inspection systems.
Working Better and Smarter The company is taking another
A total inspection solution has the capability to monitor production, store massive amounts of information, and communicate in real-time with the factory network.
ties designed for Industry 4.0. The company has developed advanced tools for the integration of its sys- tems beyond the individual manufac- turing line, and to include other workstations for seamless communi- cation and streamlined production. Besides the hardware, the com-
pany has embraced the Industry 4.0 production environment concept and goals. By gathering and communicat- ing all process-related information
reflow 3D AOI), a total inspection solution aids the fully-autonomous production line of the future. The company also works with peer groups and customers that have a similar vision, drawing closer to pro- viding total process optimization with full traceability of defects and their root causes. Enabling tools include process dashboards to visual- ize the current status of all produc- tion lines and a centralized measure-

step toward the future with its initia- tive to expand research and develop- ment (R&D) centers worldwide. Koh Young’s KSMART solution brings the company’s experience, aggregat- ed information and process technolo- gy up a notch by incorporating advanced artificial intelligence (AI). The company has partnered with Binghamton University’s (SUNY Binghamton) Integrated Electronics Engineering Center (IEEC), which recently opened a new Smart Elec - tronics Manufacturing Labora tory. According to the IEEC, the ultimate outcome of the partnership will be the development of new electronics manufacturing schemes aimed at much higher levels of efficiency and reliability. Koh Young also opened an AI
center in San Diego, California, in July 2016. The center’s mission is to build a foundation of AI platforms for manufacturing process optimization. In South Korea, the KAIST R&D Center collaborates closely with the company’s KSMART division to cre-
