Koh Young Speaking on Improving Performance with CFX-enabled Machine Connectivity at SMTA Guadalajara
September 6, 2022 | Koh YoungEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Koh Young Technology, the industry-leader in True 3D measurement-based inspection solutions and a SMTA Guadalajara chapter sponsor, will be presenting about the benefits of machine connectivity using the IPC-2591 (CFX) standard. Additionally, Koh Young will delivering live demonstrations of its award-winning inspection and measurement solutions at the SMTA Guadalajara Expo and Tech Forum at the EXPO Guadalajara in Jalisco, Mexico during 21-22 September 2022.
“Leveraging IPC-CFX standards can help manufacturers improve their electronics manufacturing process while helping to realize the benefits of a smart factory,” commented Luis Rivera, MES Engineer at Koh Young America and featured speaker at the SMTA Guadalajara Technical Forum. “These tools collect factory data on defects, A person in a green shirt
Description automatically generated with medium confidenceoptimization, traceability, and more to improve metrics, increase quality, and lower costs. Yet, successful CFX implementation on the shopfloor requires confidence that equipment has been qualified to IPC-CFX. We will show how smart factory standards help improve the SMT process.” In his presentation, Luis will explore how Koh Young successfully applies real-time data to improve the production process by converting data into process knowledge using CFX and other software tools. Combined with IPC communication standards, the gates to a smart factory are open to anyone.
Luis will begin his presentation about improving process control with machine connectivity and leveraging CFX to create a smart factory on Wednesday, 21 September 2022 at 12:00 with a question-and-answer session to follow.
