100% In-Line Quality Inspection
VP Manufacturing, Electronics OEM
The Challenge
Manual sampling inspection caught defects after entire batches were built. By the time a solder fault was found, 4,000 boards had shipped with the same flaw, and the recall cost more than a year of inspection salaries.
The Solution
Computer vision QC deployed at 12 AOI stations: every board inspected at line speed, defect classification in under 10ms at the edge, and instant line-stop triggers when fault patterns emerge.
The Outcome
Defects caught at board one, not board four thousand. The recall budget became an R&D budget.
Defect escape rate down 81% · throughput up 12%
