Using Machine Learning for Anomaly Pattern Recognition in Manufacturing Processes

As the manufacturing sector is under constant pressure to satisfy customers’ demands in a competitive market by applying complex processes to meet manufacturing cost and schedule goals, the .. read more

Detect PCB Stack-up Error with Machine Learning Methods

In manufacturing multilayer printed circuit boards (PCBs), the PCB layer stack-up usually includes multiple plies of various types of prepreg along with the inner layer core material. Most o .. read more

Selective Reflow Rework Process

In the rework environment,most equipment and procedures are designed for low volume repair/rework process. When a high volume rework is needed,the challenges begin. For example,a long cycle tim .. read more

Nano Technology Improve Critical Printing Process

The challenges of successful solder printing in the High Volume / Low Mix cell phone environment,which is linked with the continuing trend to miniaturize electronic assemblies,requires a new ap .. read more

Poor Metrology: The Hidden Cost

Doing more with less has been the standard operating procedure in manufacturing over the past ten years. Everyone is looking for areas where they can cut corners,maintain quality,and improve pr .. read more

Increasing Operating Margins in a Down Economy: Case Studies in SMT Production Monitoring Software & Applications

Shrinking profits and overcapacity have forced Electronics Manufacturers to squeeze every last penny out of Site Operations. To reduce conversion costs in a short timeframe,some facilities have .. read more

A Self Assessment Software Tool for SMT Processes and Productivity Optimization

Numerous studies and anecdotal data suggest that most SMT assembly lines are not optimized. This situation is true whether one looks at the individual processes,such as stencil printing or plac .. read more

Lead Free Reflow Process Control

All areas of manufacturing worldwide are impacted by the lead free initiative; none more than the reflow process. The higher melt temperatures and soak duration of leadless solder formulas requ .. read more

Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) - A Yield Management Solution for the High Density Interconnection (HDI) - Flexible Circuit Industry

The information age has arrived. A growing percentage of the Earth’s population now has access to pagers,cellular phones,computers,personal digital assistants (PDA’s),and a host of other electr .. read more

Developing SPC Methods for use with AOI Equipment in a Contract Manufacturing Environment

In-line inspection equipment has become common place in the PCB assembly industry. This equipment is intended to both eliminate defects at an early stage of production and to be used as a proce .. read more
