Current IssueCreating the Ideal Data Package
Why is it so difficult to create the ideal data package? Many of these simple errors can be alleviated by paying attention to detail—and knowing what issues to look out for. So, this month, our experts weigh in on the best practices for creating the ideal design data package for your design.
Designing Through the Noise
Our experts discuss the constantly evolving world of RF design, including the many tradeoffs, material considerations, and design tips and techniques that designers and design engineers need to know to succeed in this high-frequency realm.
Learning to Speak ‘Fab’
Our expert contributors clear up many of the miscommunication problems between PCB designers and their fab and assembly stakeholders. As you will see, a little extra planning early in the design cycle can go a long way toward maintaining open lines of communication with the fab and assembly folks.

Experience ViTrox's State-of-the-Art Offerings at SMTA Guadalajara 2023 Presented by Sales Channel Partner—SMTo Engineering
September 18, 2023 | ViTroxEstimated reading time: 3 minutes
ViTrox, which aims to be the world’s most trusted technology company, is excited to announce that our trusted Sales Channel Partner (SCP) in Mexico, SMTo Engineering, S.A. de C.V., will be participating in SMTA Guadalajara Expo & Tech Forum. They will be exhibiting in Booth #911 from the 25th to the 26th of October 2023, at the Expo Guadalajara in Jalisco, Mexico.
This year, SMTo will be showcasing our cutting-edge SMT PCBA inspection solutions, which are the V510i Advanced 3D Optical Inspection (AOI) Solution, the V9i Advanced Robotic Vision (ARV) Solution, and our Industry 4.0 Manufacturing Intelligence Solutions - V-ONE.
Our V510i 3D AOI solution is well-implemented with in-depth Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) Smart Technologies. Thanks to A.I. Smart Programming, our AOI is breaking free from reliance on humans, speeding up programming time, and ensuring unparalleled quality, precision, and consistency in inspections. Our A.I. Smart Programming has a wide coverage of SMT components of up to 90%, which now includes SMT connector coverage, thus guaranteeing you high-quality programming for your inspections. With this A.I. technology, users can experience an ~80% reduction in programming time, translating to soaring yields and lower operating costs. The V510i 3D AOI solution is also equipped with A.I. Assisted Defect Review (A.I. VVTS), designed to automate buy-off processes in repair stations and guarantee users over 90% judgement accuracy. Our V510i 3D AOI has also successfully qualified for the IPC-CFX-2591 Qualified Products Listing (QPL) and has received the mandatory IPC-CFX messages for classification. Read more about our V510i 3D AOI Solution.
SMTo will also be showcasing our award-winning V9i ARV Solution, revolutionising flexible inspections for conformal coating and final assembly inspections. Featuring a unique 6-axis COBOT design, it enables adjustable angle inspections up to 90°, guaranteeing convenience. With its Advanced Smart Learning Algorithm, V9i ARV detects various conformal coating defects and checks for screw, cosmetic, connector, and label defects in final assembly without requiring CAD information. The complete inspection coverage from the V9i ARV for both conformal coating and final assembly inspections allows users to be guaranteed to ship out high-quality and defect-free products. The latest V9i ARV offers a measurement feature in the system to perform distance measurement and height measurements with a laser profiler. Other than that, the solutions provide better traceability in the back-end assembly process compared to human manual inspection. Read more about our V9i ARV Solution’s capabilities in conformal coating inspection and final inspection.
Last but not least, the unveiling of our cutting-edge Industry 4.0 Manufacturing Intelligence Solutions - V-ONE, a Smart Manufacturing necessity that ensures connectivity within the production line, and accurate visualisation with our Intelligent Control Tower. The Intelligent Control Tower facilitates real-time data analysis across multiple production lines, offering customised production impact assessments to fine-tune critical production issues, and monitor machine hardware status and utilisation status to ensure optimised performance. With V-ONE, anyone can monitor the production status anytime, anywhere. Apart from them, ViTrox offers ONEView, a feature to link up SPI-AOI-AXI in the complete SMT line to connect the entire inspection process to enable real-time cross-referencing for enhanced production process oversight and quality assurance. Read more about the unique features available in our V-ONE: ONE View, and Intelligent Control Tower.
During the event, SMTo Engineering also will showcase other SMT solutions such as In-Circuit Test Equipment, Pick & Place systems, Soldering systems and many more. For any sales enquiries and in-depth talks, our field specialists are thrilled and prepared to speak with you in person during the event. Do not hesitate to visit SMTo's booth 911 as we have many more innovative technologies that will change the course of the manufacturing industry. We can't wait to see you and attend to all your inquiries! To discover and understand more, please contact: our ViTrox Mexico Business Development Director, Carlos Ponce (carlos.ponce@vitrox.com), or SMTo’s ViTrox Account Manager, Juan Carlos Santoyo (juancarlos.santoyo@smto.mx).
