February 24, 2022 | KICEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
KIC will exhibit at the SMTA Dallas Expo & Tech Forum, scheduled to take place Tuesday, March 22, 2022 at the Plano Event Center.
KIC has thermal process solutions for NPI process setup, automatic profiling and data reporting, easy process audits, process traceability, MES/CFX connectivity and more.
Electronics manufacturing today requires automated and real-time process control and traceability. KIC provides solutions for real-time inspection of the reflow/cure/wave process, like SPI and AOI provide optical inspection for printing and placement.
KIC will display the latest addition to the thermal process inspection family – the award-winning Wave Process Inspection system. As the RPI does for reflow, wave process inspection (WPI) provides users with automatic profiling -- including an industry first dwell time and parallelism measurement for each production board -- real-time preheat and wave analytics, automatic SPC charting and more.
For 45 years KIC has provided solutions for automated thermal process data collection and analytics, with service and support offices in every region. As the market leader and industry standard, there are more than 25,000 systems in the field bringing value and the most reliable, accurate and innovative solutions for electronics manufacturing thermal process challenges.

The Death of the Microsection
06/26/2025 | Bob Neves, Reliability Assessment Solutions, Inc.I got my start out of college grinding and polishing PCB microsections. My thumbs are a bit arthritic today because of the experience (microsection grinders know what I mean). Back then, via structures were rather large, and getting to the center in six steps of grinding and polishing was easy compared to what my team has been doing recently at the lab.
