Koh Young, the industry leader in True3D™ measurement-based inspection solutions, along with its Mexico sales partner Repstronics will present a free Smart Factory webinar on Wednesday, 14 October 2020 at 11:00AM CDT (GMT -5). Register today to secure your seat in the virtual event and understand how to leverage AOI measurement data to increase productivity, improve quality, and reduce costs. Be part of the digital transformation and move to Industry 4.0!
The electronics industry is battling the challenges manufacturers are facing due to a shortage of workers with the necessary skill to fill needed positions. While leading industry organizations are tackling the issue with education programs, training initiatives, and industry standards, we must do more. Equipment suppliers like Koh Young are working diligently to expedite the adoption and implementation of equipment communication standards to help manufacturers adopt the framework for a smart factory. These machine to machine (M2M) communication standards, guided in part by Industry 4.0, are quickly altering the manufacturing process by improving metrics like first pass yield and line throughput by helping to implement automatic process adjustments.
By converting data into information, and then into knowledge, Koh Young KSMART process control software is helping engineers make effective, quality-driven decisions. The AI-powered process analysis and improvement tools within KSMART deliver autonomous process optimization. In short, KSMART is the “Gateway to a Smart Factory.”
“I am excited to share our knowledge with registered attendees who are eager to learn how a smart factory can improve electronics production,” said Ramon Hernandez, Country Manager for Mexico and South America at Koh Young America. “With the help of Repstronics, we can show how Koh Young Smart Factory Solutions can help you detect defects, optimize in real-time, and trace products to increase quality and lower costs.”
