ViTrox Partners with SMTo Engineering to Showcase Cutting-Edge SMT PCBA Solutions at SMTA Guadalajara 2024
August 13, 2024 | ViTroxEstimated reading time: 4 minutes
ViTrox, which aims to be the World’s Most Trusted Technology Company, is pleased to announce our collaboration with our Sales Channel Partner (SCP), SMTo Engineering, S.A. de C.V., at the forthcoming SMTA Guadalajara trade show. This event will be held at Salón Jalisco Hall D & E, Expo Guadalajara in Mexico, Booth #522, on the 11-12 September 2024.
SMTo will be presenting ViTrox’s Industry-leading SMT PCBA Inspection Solutions at SMTA Guadalajara this year. The lineup includes the V310i Advanced 3D Solder Paste Inspection (SPI) Solution, V510i Advanced 3D Optical Inspection (AOI) Solution, V9i Advanced Robotic Vision Inspection (ARV) Solution, and V-ONE Industry 4.0 Manufacturing Intelligence Solutions.
Explore the Groundbreaking Inspection Technologies of ViTrox:
V310i Advanced 3D Solder Paste Inspection (SPI) Solution
ViTrox V310i 3D SPI Solution is designed for various industries, including semiconductor, industrial, server/telecommunication, automotive, and more. V310i 3D SPI can handle PCB sizes ranging from 510mm x 540mm to 960mm x 690mm to meet stringent process requirements. Its Ultra Smart Programming feature allows users to easily set parameters, reducing human dependency and enabling faster programming for increased productivity. Additionally, the V310i 3D SPI provides enhanced solder detection capabilities through advanced technologies and comprehensive test coverage, resulting in improved defect detection and accurate solder paste inspection results. With ViTrox’s latest V-ONE’s ONE View feature, we offer enhanced Closed-loop Machine-to-Machine capabilities, allowing users to easily trace inspection results and component images across ViTrox’s SMT PCB Vision Inspection platforms.
V510i Advanced 3D Optical Inspection (AOI) Solution
Our award-winning V510i 3D AOI Solution is integrated with in-depth A.I. Smart Technologies to minimise human dependency. We provide a comprehensive AOI A.I. ecosystem – including A.I. parameter checker, A.I. recipe quality control, and A.I. fine-tuning – providing fully autonomous process optimisation. This ensures optimal program quality, accuracy and consistency in the algorithm and programming. As the A.I. Smart Programming supports inspection recipe programming, the programming effort that relies on manual human programming will be greatly reduced, and the quality of the inspection recipe will also be assured. This is because our A.I. integrated features are trained to comply with IPC standards when assigning algorithms, as well as the consistency of the A.I. as compared to a human.
- A.I. Smart Programming: Autonomous programming based on IPC standards with up to 99% component coverage. Experience programming at 4x the speed and minimise human manual programming dependency!
- A.I. Integrated Parameter Checker (A.I. Checker): Validate inspection recipe compliance to IPC standards.
- A.I. Recipe Quality Check: On-the-fly Program quality check during the production run.
- A.I. Auto Fine-Tuning: Autonomous inspection parameter fine-tuning based on buyoff results.
- A.I. Assisted Buyoff (A.I. VVTS): Autonomous inspection results buyoff with ~90% A.I. judgement accuracy and ~90% A.I. auto buyoff coverage on common and challenging defects.
The V510i 3D AOI’s superior performance has also been recognised by the industry and has won numerous prestigious honours, including the 2024 New Product Introduction Award, 2023 Global Technology Award and 2023 Mexico Technology Award.
V9i Advanced Robotic Vision Inspection (ARV) Solution
Our award-winning V9i ARV Solution redefines flexibility for conformal coating and final assembly inspections. Its innovative 6-axis COBOT design allows for adjustable angle inspections of up to 90°, ensuring convenience and minimising human judgement errors. Using an Advanced CAD-less Smart Learning Algorithm, the V9i ARV can detect comprehensive conformal coating defects and inspect screw, cosmetic, connector, and label defects during final assembly inspection without requiring CAD information. The V9i ARV Solution’s exceptional performance and innovation have earned it recognition in the industry, including the 2024 New Product Introduction Award, 2021 Global Technology Award, and 2020 IPC APEX EXPO Innovation Award.
Industry 4.0 Manufacturing Intelligence Solutions - V-ONE
V-ONE ensures seamless connectivity across the production line, providing real-time data visualisation and facilitating swift adaptability in Machine-to-Machine (M2M) production environments. It features customisable, flexible drill-down charts and dashboards designed to boost production efficiency with insightful real-time data and A.I. predictions. V-ONE’s AOI Intelligent Control Tower feature provides accurate data visualisation, enables real-time data analysis across multiple production lines, provides customised production impact assessments to fine-tune critical production issues, and monitors machine hardware status and utilisation status to ensure optimised performance. Another key feature of V-ONE is the ONE View feature. ONE View provides data correlation capabilities across ViTrox’s SMT PCBA solutions (SPI, AOI and AXI), allowing real-time cross-referencing the inspection results and component images from the process. By implementing V-ONE, users can easily gain traceability throughout the entire process to optimise production and ensure quality.
SMTo ViTrox Product Specialist will be onsite to perform a demo and discuss the specific needs further. Visit us at Booth #522 for a closer look at these innovative technologies and see how they can revolutionise your manufacturing process. We look forward to answering any questions you may have.

Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Revamp Your Components with BGA Reballing
10/14/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileBall grid array (BGA) components evolved from pin grid array (PGA) devices, carrying over many of the same electrical benefits while introducing a more compact and efficient interconnect format. Instead of discrete leads, BGAs rely on solder balls on the underside of the package to connect to the PCB. In some advanced designs, solder balls are on both the PCB and the BGA package. In stacked configurations, such as package-on-package (PoP), these solder balls also interconnect multiple packages, enabling higher functionality in a smaller footprint.
