AI Root Cause Analysis for Electronics and Manufacturing Teams
QualityLine helps manufacturers quickly identify the real cause of product and process errors by analyzing data from every machine, station, and test process. Instead of manually searching through parameters, reports, and spreadsheets, QualityLine uses AI to instantly show what is causing failures, performance drops, and recurring quality issues.
Find the Real Cause of Failures — Not Just the Symptoms
Manufacturing errors are often complex and impossible to trace manually. AI root cause analysis reveals why failures happen, which parameters trigger them, and how different processes influence each other.
Why Root Cause Analysis Matters:
• Reduce first-pass failures
• Improve reliability and consistency
• Protect product quality and customer trust
AI vs Traditional SPC: What is the Difference?
Traditional SPC
Only shows when something is out of spec.
AI Root Cause Analysis
Shows why it happened and what to fix.
One Unified Platform for All Manufacturing Data
QualityLine collects and analyzes data from every system and process, without requiring hardware changes.
Includes data from:
- SMT machines
- Pick-and-place
- AOI and SPI
- ICT, FCT, and other testing stations
- PCB assembly stages
- ERP and MES systems
- Sensors and machine logs
All parameters are unified into a single view so you can understand how the entire manufacturing line behaves.
AI That Reveals the Exact Root Cause
Our AI engine identifies hidden patterns and correlations that humans cannot detect in real time.
Capabilities include:
- Automatic detection of correlated failure patterns
- Predictive modeling for future failure risks
- Identification of parameters that fail together
- Anomaly detection across different processes
- Automated pattern mapping and data modeling
- Statistical validation for parameter limits
This helps teams act before defects escalate or reach customers.

How does the AI root cause analysis work?
QualityLine analyzes production, inspection, and test data to identify patterns and correlations that point to likely drivers of defects. It helps teams prioritize the most probable causes so they can validate findings and take corrective action faster.
What data is required to get started?
You can start with the data you already have. Common sources include inspection results, test results, production logs, and traceability identifiers (such as serial numbers or board IDs) that help connect events across process steps.
How fast can we get insights after onboarding?
Timing depends on your data sources and data quality. Many teams can begin seeing useful patterns soon after data is connected, and accuracy and depth improve as more data sources and history are added.
Is the AI a black box?
No. QualityLine is designed to provide explainable insights by showing the signals and relationships behind suggested causes, so engineers can review evidence and confirm root causes using their process knowledge.
Can we use it across multiple lines or factories?
Yes. QualityLine can help teams compare issues across lines, products, and time periods to detect recurring patterns and share learnings across sites.
