Koh Young Demonstrates Smart Factory Solutions at the IPC CFX Live! Webinar
July 13, 2020 | Koh YoungEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Koh Young is a globally recognized a leader in the effort to rapidly implement smart factory solutions to help manufacturers reduce costs and improve quality. To that end, it is a proudly demonstrating the IPC’s Connected Factory eXchange (CFX) IoT messaging standard (IPC-2591) at a free IPC webinar.
On Wednesday, July 29, 3:00 PM to 4:00 PM CET (9:00 AM to 10:00 AM EDT) Koh Young, IPC, and other select suppliers will show the power and simplicity of CFX, the industry standard for machine-to-machine communication and data exchange.
During this one-hour event, attendees will see firsthand how CFX works on a typical SMT assembly line, with example messaging displayed on equipment dashboards. Four equipment vendors will discuss how CFX works with their equipment and the benefits to their customers and to the industry.
In addition to the virtual line demonstration, IPC CFX team members will be there to discuss the history and future of IPC-2591, the industry standard that guides CFX, as well as how to implement it in your equipment and factory lines for plug-and-play machine-to-machine communication and to enable your company for Industry 4.0.
Koh Young pioneered True3D™ measurement technology 20-years ago to create a zero-defect future. This gave rise to its KSMART process control software suite and its continuous efforts to leverage data and M2M connectivity. Using Artificial Intelligence to help automate process controls, KSMART focuses on data management, analysis, and optimization to boost productivity, improve quality, and minimize costs.
“Combined with IPC communication standards, we are opening the gates to a smart factory,” commented Ivan Aduna, MES Software Developer at Koh Young America. “These tools collect data from across the factory for defect detection, real-time optimization, enhanced decisions, and traceability to improve metrics, increase quality, and lower costs.” Complementing the IPC standards, Koh Young KSMART uses the latest AI-powered technology to help manufacturers realize a smart factory.” The Koh Young AI Platform applies real-time data to improve the production process by converting data into information and ultimately into process knowledge.
