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.

iNEMI End-of-Project Webinar: Investigation of AI Enhancement to AOI for PCBA
November 6, 2024 | iNEMIEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Automated optical inspection (AOI) systems are essential in electronic manufacturing for ensuring the quality of printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs). Traditional AOI systems, however, face significant challenges due to high false call rates and defect escapes, particularly as electronic designs become more complex. The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a promising solution to enhance the capabilities of AOI systems.
Phase 1 of iNEMI’s AI Enhancement to AOI for PCBA Project evaluated and recommended AI technologies for AOI. The project team surveyed the current state of AI and AOI technologies in the industry, established common performance metrics, and prepared test vehicles for subsequent experiments.
The recently completed Phase 2 of the project involved rigorous experimentation using the metrics and test vehicles established in Phase 1 to evaluate and validate the performance of AI-enhanced AOI systems. End-of-project webinars are scheduled on November 12 and 13 to report Phase 2 results and lessons learned. Challenges and future work in adopting AI into AOI will also be discussed.
