March 25, 2025 | Koh YoungEstimated reading time: 1 minute

Koh Young, the global leader in True 3D measurement-based inspection and metrology solutions, is pleased to announce that Luis Rivera, MES Team Leader at Koh Young America, will speak at SEMIEXPO Heartland 2025, taking place March 31 to April 2 in Indianapolis, Indiana at the Indiana Convention Center.
Rivera’s session, titled "Real-Time Process Optimization in the Smart Factory: Enabling Machine Connectivity for Data-Driven Insights," is scheduled for April 1 from 3:20 PM to 3:45 PM EDT on the SMART Manufacturing Stage. His presentation will explore how manufacturers can improve efficiency, productivity, and quality by integrating real-time data collection and analysis with machine connectivity.
Attendees will gain practical insights into how real-time process optimization enhances manufacturing performance by enabling seamless communication between inspection systems, production equipment, and data platforms. The session will highlight how leveraging this connectivity supports advanced analysis and actionable insights, enabling faster decision-making and adaptive process control.
In addition to connectivity and analytics, Rivera will underscore the pivotal role of metrology and inspection in modern electronics manufacturing. By capturing detailed 3D measurement data at critical points in the process, manufacturers can maximize yield and ensure the production of high-quality chips—a necessity in today's increasingly connected world.
“At Koh Young, we believe real-time data is the foundation for smart manufacturing,” said Rivera. “When machines speak the same language and communicate instantly, manufacturers can respond faster, improve process control, and ultimately deliver better outcomes in both quality and efficiency.”
Hosted by SEMI, SEMIEXPO Heartland brings together stakeholders from across the semiconductor ecosystem to discuss emerging trends, disruptive technologies, and strategies for scaling innovation. Koh Young’s participation reflects its commitment to advancing smart manufacturing through data-driven solutions and continuous innovation.

I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
09/05/2025 | Andy Shaughnessy, I-Connect007It’s almost fall here in Atlanta, and that means that the temperature is finally dropping. And it quit raining! It’s been raining since March, and I’m so over it, as the social influencers say. Last night we grilled out on the deck, and it wasn’t hot, and we didn’t get rained on. Life is good. It was a busy week in the industry. In this installment of my must-reads, we say goodbye to Walt Custer, the man who made PCB data points interesting for the rest of us.
Walt Custer: Making Data Interesting
09/03/2025 | Andy Shaughnessy, I-Connect007I just learned that IPC Hall of Famer Walt Custer has passed away at 81. I first met Walt about 20 years ago when I started covering the fabrication industry. Right away, he started telling me which companies to watch and which trends to follow. This was in the years following 9/11, and things were still pretty fluid.
