Koh Young to Showcase AI-based Inspection Solutions at IPC APEX EXPO 2020
January 14, 2020 | Koh Young AmericasEstimated reading time: 2 minutes

Koh Young, the industry leader in 3D measurement and inspection solutions, will showcase advanced Artificial Intelligence-based inspection solutions at IPC APEX EXPO during 04-06 February at the San Diego Convention Center. At the show, Koh Young will show solutions that help manufacturers improve their production process. It will also take part in several show events, including the IPC CFX production line and roundtables focused on smart factory connectivity and inspection processes.
While many will talk about a clear vision in 2020, Koh Young has been following its passion for years: “Without fear of failure, we will pursue the singular goal of developing the best inspection and measurement solutions for the industries we serve, while delivering innovative technologies to overcome process challenges that will improve the livelihood of our customers.” During IPC APEX EXPO, Koh Young will highlight these solutions including solder paste inspection (SPI), automated optical inspection (AOI), automated pin inspection (API), machining optical inspection (MOI), and conformal coating inspection (CCI). Additionally, Koh Young will display Industry 4.0 solutions, including the latest KSMART solutions with autonomous process control across the line.
After visiting the Koh Young booth to learn how we are solving the industry’s inspection challenges, we urge show attendees to visit the IPC CFX Demonstration line that highlights the IPC CFX (IPC-2591) and HERMES (IPC-9852) standards. The demonstration allows visitors to experience a connected factory and realize that when each machine speaks the same language, it creates real value as a practical and smart manufacturing environment. “The power of these communication standards is amplified when combined with the Koh Young KSMART software suite, which was designed to help users realize a smart factory,” said Brent Fischthal, IPC-CFX Committee member and Senior Manager of Americas Marketing at Koh Young. “These standards are helping us deploy our smart factory developments. For example, Koh Young Process Optimizer or “KPO” allows our SPI to automatically adjust print process parameters using machine-learning algorithms based on inspection and measurement feedback.” With the help of these standards and our AI-powered developments, Koh Young can autonomously monitor, analyze, and optimize the SMT process. Furthermore, attendees will see more Koh Young equipment configured in smart lines throughout the show in our partner booths.
Juan Arango, Managing Director of Koh Young America, commented, “We have installed well over 16,000 systems, which have been complemented with customer accolades and industry awards alike. Clearly, Koh Young is on the right path to deliver sustainable benefits to its customers, industries, and society.” Throughout the show Koh Young will highlight its latest innovations for the inspection market, including new hardware and software solutions that drive production and process improvements.
We welcome show attendees to visit both 2336 to understand why demanding customers demand Koh Young. If you cannot attend the show, you can learn more about Koh Young Technology and its best-in-class inspection solutions at www.kohyoung.com.
