SIEMENS DIGITAL INDUSTRIES SOFTWARE

Lightweight artificial intelligence and machine learning solution reduces false call rates on the PCB factory line. Factory operators in printed-circuit board manufacturing and assembly companies are under pressure to build high-quality products as quickly as possible, but errors detected at automated optical inspection machines cause delays in the production line, while most of these errors are false calls.

To help alleviate this problem, our industrial AI experts have developed an algorithmic solution combined with a cloud-based service that maintains inspection models. This "AI as a service" reduces the number of false calls, quickly and consistently, in a way that can be sustained over time. The solution and service combination is available as part of the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio.
