Segment 9 of Koh Young Webinar Series: Koh Young Auto Programming (KAP)
November 24, 2021 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
Watch & Learn!
In this engaging, 12-part micro webinar series, Koh Young topic experts Joel Scutchfield and Ivan Aduna examine 3D inspection, AI, CFX, connectivity and smart factory success.
At just over 8 minutes, the ninth episode, “AI in Action” is now available to view.
Designed to complement Koh Young’s I-007eBook, The Printed Circuit Assembler’s Guide to...SMT Inspection, Today, Tomorrow and Beyond, presenters Scutchfield and Aduna share highly focused educational information on the use of data gathered during the inspection process.
In this segment, viewers will learn about 3D profilometry technology and how it converges with Koh Young’s proprietary AI technology to deliver true automatic programming. This geometry-based software solution reduces the programming process to minimize time to production and reduce costs.
This entire webinar series can be viewed in an hour and covers a comprehensive range of topics surrounding 3D inspection and the use of smart data gathered during the inspection process. Most of the 12 segments can be viewed in about five minutes.

July 2025 PCB007 Magazine: Sales—From Pitch to PO
07/18/2025 |Though all parts of a company are essential for holistic success, it is a foundational truth that a company lives and dies by its sales. If there are no sales, the company eventually ceases to exist, or as Henry Ford says, “Nothing happens until someone sells something.” In the July issue of PCB007 Magazine, we break down the sales stack and provide a guide to up your sales game.
Tightening of LPDDR4X Supply Drives Up Prices; Smartphone Brands to Accelerate Adoption of LPDDR5X
07/17/2025 | TrendForceTrendForce’s latest investigations reveal that major Korean and U.S. memory suppliers are expected to significantly reduce or even cease production of LPDDR4X in 2025 and 2026.
Beyond Design: Refining Design Constraints
07/17/2025 | Barry Olney -- Column: Beyond DesignBefore starting any project, it is crucial to develop a thorough plan that encompasses all essential requirements. This ensures that the final product not only aligns with the design concept but is also manufacturable, reliable, and meets performance expectations. High-speed PCB design requires us to not only push technological boundaries but also consider various factors related to higher frequencies, faster transition times, and increased bandwidths during the design process.
Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Addressing End-of-life Component Solderability Issues, Part 4
07/16/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileIn 1983, the Department of Defense identified that over 40% of military electronic system failures in the field were electrical, with approximately 50% attributed to poor solder connections. Investigations revealed that plated finishes, typically nickel or tin, were porous and non-intermetallic.
Digital Twin Concept in Copper Electroplating Process Performance
07/11/2025 | Aga Franczak, Robrecht Belis, Elsyca N.V.PCB manufacturing involves transforming a design into a physical board while meeting specific requirements. Understanding these design specifications is crucial, as they directly impact the PCB's fabrication process, performance, and yield rate. One key design specification is copper thieving—the addition of “dummy” pads across the surface that are plated along with the features designed on the outer layers. The purpose of the process is to provide a uniform distribution of copper across the outer layers to make the plating current density and plating in the holes more uniform.
