Current IssueFueling the Workforce Pipeline
We take a hard look at fueling the workforce pipeline, specifically at the early introduction of manufacturing concepts and business to young people in this issue of PCB007 Magazine.
Inner Layer Precision & Yields
In this issue, we examine the critical nature of building precisions into your inner layers and assessing their pass/fail status as early as possible. Whether it’s using automation to cut down on handling issues, identifying defects earlier, or replacing an old line...
Engineering Economics
The real cost to manufacture a PCB encompasses everything that goes into making the product: the materials and other value-added supplies, machine and personnel costs, and most importantly, your quality. A hard look at real costs seems wholly appropriate.

ViTrox's Cutting-Edge V510i 3D AOI Wins the 2023 Global Technology Award, Redefining Inspection Excellence
November 23, 2023 | ViTroxEstimated reading time: 2 minutes

ViTrox, which aims to be the world’s most trusted technology company, is honoured to announce that our latest V510i Advanced 3D Optical Inspection (AOI) Solution for Advanced Packaging has been awarded a 2023 Global Technology Award, in the Inspection - AOI category, from Global SMT & Packaging. The award was announced during the award ceremony at Productronica in Munich, Germany, on November 14, 2023.
With the pioneer integration of Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) technologies and extensive inspection capability, our V510i 3D AOI Solution for Advanced Packaging marks a significant shift in inspection for the semiconductor and SMT industry, especially for highly reflective die and components. One significant breakthrough technology is the Surface Defect Inspection (SDI) algorithm, which enables this V510i 3D AOI solution to offer extensive inspection coverage, including die placement, die coplanarity, die chip-off/crack, die polarity, surface defects on die (such as scratches and contamination), gold pad surfaces, foreign material, and distance measurement. Complemented by the lighting module and motorised z-height, measurements can also be extracted by the Smart Measurement feature, providing CMM-like capabilities.

By integrating A.I. features in our V510i 3D AOI, users can automate programming and buy-off processes, reducing the need for skilled manual labour and minimising human error risks. Our AI-powered smart programming for AOI provides intelligent and automated programming to minimise human skills dependency and rapidly improve programming time by up to 4 times. In addition, we also offer another A.I. feature – A.I. Assisted Defect Review (also known as A.I. ViTrox Verification Tool Solution) where users can also automate buy-off processes in repair stations. This groundbreaking technology ensures a remarkable accuracy rate of over 90%, offering customers an unrivalled confidence level in the inspection results. On top of our AOI being IPC-CFX-2591 QPL validated, this solution is also SECS/GEM ready.
“With the release of this cutting-edge technology, I am confident that we will help the customer to address their pain points when adapting to Industry 4.0. This award comes as full amazement and honour to us. I would like to take this opportunity to demonstrate my greatest gratitude to the jury for selecting our V510i 3D AOI for Advanced Packaging for this prestigious award. The greatest honour goes to the team who never gives up on innovating the latest technology to bring greater value to fulfil customers' needs and meet their expectations,” said Mr Wee Kah Khim, CEO of Board Inspection and Embedded Solutions (BIE).
