KIC Intros Auto Profiling and Intelligent Network Software Ecosystem
June 12, 2018 | KICEstimated reading time: 1 minute
KIC has announced a new automatic profiling system with network software for real-time dashboard, data sharing and traceability storage. The new RPI i4.0 automatically acquires profile data from each product soldered in the reflow oven, in real-time.
This new ecosystem offers full thermal process traceability, reduced scrap and rework, improved production line utilization and fast defect troubleshooting. Advanced data search and communication features save engineers valuable time.
The profile is compared to the relevant process window for traceability and can alarm instantly on out of spec conditions. Advanced search and filter functions on product name, customer name, time period and more, instantly provide pertinent data for deeper insight and effective troubleshooting.
With RPI i4.0 all relevant data can connect to the factory MES to be easily shared with personnel, and can be accessed from any authorized PC or mobile device. The enhanced level of automation delivers improved line utilization and productivity.

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.
