New I-007eBook Highlights SMT Inspection: Today, Tomorrow, and Beyond
March 11, 2021 | I-Connect007Estimated reading time: 1 minute

Increasing board complexity is driving the need for accurate and speedy inspection systems. In The Printed Circuit Assembler’s Guide to SMT Inspection: Today, Tomorrow, and Beyond, author Brent Fischthal takes readers through a brief history of SMT inspection before discussing the benefits of data-driven analytics and how intelligent software solutions can help companies analyze and optimize the production process.
In this latest title from I-007eBooks, readers will learn how artificial intelligence has demonstrated promising potential in this field and has far-reaching applications within the manufacturing sector.
According to Michael Ford, Senior Director of Emerging Industry Strategy for Aegis Software, “This book provides unprecedented visibility of SMT processes, asserting inspection technology as a key active contributor to zero-defect quality initiatives, rather than being limited to simple defect detection.”
