Smart Factory Starter Kit from KIC at the SMTA Dallas Expo
March 29, 2018 | KICEstimated reading time: 1 minute
KIC announces plans to exhibit at the SMTA Dallas Expo & Tech Forum, scheduled to take place Tuesday, April 10, 2018 at the Plano Centre in Plano, Texas. The retrofittable starter kit has all of the elements of the smart factory concept as it relates to the reflow and curing ovens:
- Machine optimization software
- Process transparency
- Extreme Automation
- Flexible production (eliminate changeover time)
- Connectivity
- Machine learning
- Real-time information and insight
- Reduced electricity use
Smart factories promise a leap forward in terms of productivity and control. The technology delivers consistent quality, significant lower production cost, traceability and customer value.
Begin the road to a Smart Factory implementation with a low investment / low risk / narrow focus starter kit. You will advance up the smart factory learning curve which positions you well to take on the rest of the factory.
The KIC Smart Factory Starter kit for contains:
1 ea. The all-new KIC SPS 7 channel real-time Wi-Fi reflow Profiler
1 ea. KIC RPI (Reflow Process Inspection) or ProBot automatic systems
1 ea. The all-new KIC Vantage network insight factory software
(On-site visit by a KIC certified technician is included)
Move toward the future of line connectivity, flexible production, data analytics, process transparency, machine learning and real-time insight. For more information about KIC, stop by our table or click here.

Beyond Design: AI-driven Inverse Stackup Optimization
12/26/2024 | Barry Olney -- Column: Beyond DesignArtificial intelligence (AI) is transforming how we conceptualize and design everything from satellites to PCBs. Traditionally, stackup planning is a manual process that can be multifaceted and relies heavily on the designer's expertise. Despite having best practices and various field solvers to optimize parameters, stackup planning remains challenging for complex designs with advanced packaging, several layers, multiple power pours, and controlled impedance requirements.
Statistically Testing Inner Layer Yield Improvement Projects
12/18/2024 | Dr. Patrick Valentine, UyemuraCan we trust our measurement system to give us reliable data? Is it accurate, repeatable, and reproducible? Measurement is the foundation of quality. We measure for two primary reasons: to make decisions on product quality and to provide data that will inform continuous improvement projects. We can engage in continuous improvement projects if we are confident in our measurement systems.
