iNEMI Call-for-Participation: AI Enhancement to AOI for PCBA, Phase 2
July 5, 2023 | iNEMIEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Join us to learn how artificial intelligence (AI) can enhance performance of automated optical inspection (AOI) machines. This webinar will share results from Phase 1 of the iNEMI AI Enhancement to AOI for PCBA project and talk about plans for Phase 2.
Machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) models have been adopted to help with the pass/fail judgement of AOI machines, enabling detection of true failures with greater accuracy and in less time. Integration of AI can also help reduce man-hours, re-inspection and repeated machine program optimization processes. In Phase 1, an industry-wide survey assessed adoption status and identified challenges of AI for AOI in board assembly. Based on survey results, the project team designed a test vehicle incorporating the most common defect and component types and ran an experimental trial on AI training and AOI inspection.
Phase 2 of the project aims to establish common language and performance metrics to evaluate the value of adding AI to AOI capabilities and provide recommendations to the industry for future implementation and improvement opportunities. In addition, the project is calling for industry participation in experiments that will use the established test vehicles for training and/or inspection of existing AI for AOI solutions. This project can help industry mitigate technology gaps and improve inspection efficiency and accuracy as well as reduce cost.

SEMICON West: The Path to a $1 Trillion Future
10/14/2025 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007After more than 50 years in San Francisco, SEMICON West moved its 2025 show to Phoenix, which is significant because it highlights the importance of Arizona as a semiconductor and tech hub. Though the show will be back in San Francisco in 2026, the overwhelmingly warm welcome SEMI received from Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs, Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego, and ASU President Michael Crowe—who has been responsible for ASU repeatedly achieving the U.S. News and World Reports most innovative university ranking—was remarked upon repeatedly. All indications are that SEMICON West may well be back in Phoenix after that 2026 season.

Is Glass Finally Coming of Age?
10/13/2025 | Nolan Johnson, I-Connect007Substrates, by definition, form the base of all electronic devices. Whether discussing silicon wafers for semiconductors, glass-and-epoxy materials in printed circuits, or the base of choice for interposers, all these materials function as substrates. While other substrates have come and gone, silicon and FR-4 have remained the de facto standards for the industry.
Amplifying Innovation: New Podcast Series Spotlights Electronics Industry Leaders
10/08/2025 | I-Connect007In the debut episode, “Building Reliability: KOKI’s Approach to Solder Joint Challenges,” host Marcy LaRont speaks with Shantanu Joshi, Head of Customer Solutions and Operational Excellence at KOKI Solder America. They explore how advanced materials, such as crack-free fluxes and zero-flux-residue solder pastes, are addressing issues like voiding, heat dissipation, and solder joint reliability in demanding applications, where failure can result in costly repairs or even catastrophic loss.
