Beyond the Rulebook
What happens when the rule book is no longer useful, or worse, was never written in the first place? In today’s fast-moving electronics landscape, we’re increasingly asked to design and build what has no precedent, no proven path, and no tidy checklist to follow. This is where “Design for Invention” begins.
March Madness
From the growing role of AI in design tools to the challenge of managing cumulative tolerances, these articles in this issue examine the technical details, design choices, and manufacturing considerations that determine whether a board works as intended.
Looking Forward to APEX EXPO 2026
I-Connect007 Magazine previews APEX EXPO 2026, covering everything from the show floor to the technical conference. For PCB designers, we move past the dreaded auto-router and spotlight AI design tools that actually matter.

Cybord's Visual AI Solution to Be Integrated with Siemens' Opcenter MES
May 7, 2025 | PRNewswireEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Cybord, a leading provider of advanced visual-AI electronic component analytics, and Siemens Digital Industries Software have signed a new OEM agreement to integrate Cybord's cutting-edge AI technology with Siemens' Opcenter™ software for Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES). The collaboration expands a previous OEM agreement and enables Siemens to offer Cybord's powerful AI solutions to Opcenter customers and Siemens' factories globally.
The integration of Cybord's visual AI platform with Siemens' Opcenter empowers manufacturers to enhance quality control of their Surface Mount Technology (SMT) processes. The solution will provide real-time detection of defective components, help build component repositories, and integrate visually verified traceability across the supply chain. Customers will be able to streamline their operations without the need for additional dashboards as the solution is fully integrated into Opcenter MES. This integration also allows customers to take immediate action on product integrity issues, improving their ability to address problems on the fly and helping to ensure consistent product quality.
"We are excited to expand our partnership with Cybord to enhance Siemens Opcenter with visual AI insights," said Markus Sauter, Product Manager at Siemens Digital Industries Software. "By integrating Cybord's state-of-the-art AI technology, we are further strengthening our Opcenter MES offering, providing our customers with an unparalleled ability to detect and resolve quality issues quickly and efficiently - leading to more reliable production processes and improved bottom lines."
This agreement underscores Siemens' ongoing commitment to delivering cutting-edge manufacturing solutions that improve operational efficiency and product integrity. By embedding Cybord's AI platform into Opcenter, Siemens continues to lead the way in innovation for the electronics manufacturing industry, providing customers with advanced tools to maintain the highest quality standards and operational excellence.
"We are proud to collaborate with Siemens, a global leader in manufacturing software, to bring our AI-powered solutions to an even broader audience," said Oshri Cohen, CEO of Cybord. "Together, we are setting a new standard for quality and traceability in the electronics manufacturing industry, giving manufacturers the tools they need to stay ahead of market demands while improving their product quality."
Cybord's visual AI technology, renowned for its 99.9% accuracy in real-time inspection of electronic components, has already proven successful in reducing costly rework, scrap rates, and supply chain vulnerabilities in electronics manufacturing. The cooperation with Siemens extends these benefits to a wider range of manufacturers, offering seamless integration and actionable insights that drive immediate improvements on the production floor.
Testimonial
"We’re proud to call I-Connect007 a trusted partner. Their innovative approach and industry insight made our podcast collaboration a success by connecting us with the right audience and delivering real results."
