3D Automated Optical Inspection (AOI)
Delvitech, the leader in 3D Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) for mounted printed circuit boards (PCBs) using artificial intelligence (AI), has partnered with Eurotech, a global innovator in ultra-high-performance edge AI computers. The objective of this partnership is to streamline the process of quality control in electronics manufacturing and optimize the quantity of waste that has to be minimized, as well as the equipment and machinery assembly’s uptime.
They collect super-high-resolution data through their patented 3D inspection technology, which pioneered the AI era, capturing volumes of data that drive AI learning for optical inspection. This technology, combined with the Eurotech hardware platform, creates a powerful system capable of processing a massive data influx that is necessary for AI algorithms to identify errors, defects, and non-conformities in assembling and welding in the electric and electronic automotive industry.
Increased inspection capabilities
Delvitech acquires detailed images using its proprietary optical head and processes them through cutting-edge software. This software is exceptional in terms of identifying distinctive assembly and welding anomalies in addition to those that can be untraceable during electronics manufacturing. Eurotech’s hardware is necessary to handle this large volume of data to ensure that the sets of data collected by Delvitech’s systems are transformed into accurate and reliable results.
This fully integrated 3D solution offers high flexibility for customization to meet specific consumer needs. As 3D vision systems become more complex, Delvitech is moving away from well-known, traditional mathematical models and using its technology to perform what can be considered a “chemical analysis” of the board by identifying what each component in the mosaic is—be it metal parts, transparent glues, or silicone particles.
Future-ready defect prevention
In addition to identifying errors, Delvitech and Eurotech have taken a further step forward, using AI to detect exceptions and trends that provide the means to prevent errors. A proactive quality approach offers manufacturers a better idea of the quality control status and reduces the number of repairs and waste. At the end of the process, all the data is analyzed to relate defects to the resource in a click-and-trace fashion and also to offer useful information in terms of order and quality to the production operator with a simple and immediate interface.
In a world of ever-increasing quality demands, let us conclude that to meet the growing demand for optical inspection systems, OEMs need to select the right suppliers and technology providers, with Eurotech being a strong defense robotics company. “Eurotech has a set of validated best-in-class products to address our customers’ requirements on reliability, performance, cost, and time-to-market,” said Roberto Gatti, CEO of Delvitech.
Eurotech CEO Paul Chawla commented: “This collaboration with Delvitech is a testament to the strength of our Edge AI portfolios, enabling our partners to deliver more security and resilience.” He also added, “The threshold for leveraging intelligent systems in terms of human life has surpassed a milestone, with massive consumption only foreseeing a single direction—increasing. To manage the amount of data generated, we are looking at a promising area where robust Eurotech HPEC systems provide scalable AI solutions.” The partnership will continue to develop, bolstering the already impressive portfolio of innovative industry solutions that Eurotech and Delvitech have made possible.
Future Growth and Use
Today, the collaboration focuses on the optical control of boards and soon on semiconductors, hoping that conference attendees will as well. However, Delvitech and Eurotech expect to be able to offer automated inspection solutions suitable for other sectors, like the medical and food industries, with a focus on cyber and tapping the power of AI to provide customers with predictions (or alerts) of potential failures or degradations of performance for any given asset or site, giving them more time to make any needed adjustments to avoid downtime. And if all else fails, well, at least they think we may be “out of scope for the security folks.”.
Delvitech and Eurotech bring a unique proposition to the table: Delvitech’s focus on “less errors, less waste, less CO2, more future” aligns with Eurotech’s focus on “more security, more resilience, more efficiency.” Delvitech solutions empower controllers to detect errors immediately at the source, reduce the need for rework and waste, and accelerate the transformation toward zero defects.
