AI-Powered SMT Analytics for Higher Yield and Line Efficiency
Modern SMT production demands speed, accuracy, and complete visibility across SPI, AOI, ICT, FCT, and assembly processes. Small defects create big problems, and manual data analysis makes it almost impossible to prevent failures in time.
End-to-End SMT Visibility in Real Time
QualityLine integrates SMT test and assembly data from any machine, station, or factory worldwide. The system automatically builds a global view of your SMT line and provides actionable insights that help you prevent defects before they reach later stages.
QualityLine supports automatic collection and analysis of:
With a unified AI analytics engine, SMT teams gain complete visibility into quality and efficiency across all processes.
AI SMT Analytics That Improve Accuracy and Productivity
QualityLine uses advanced AI algorithms to automatically correlate every piece of SMT data and transform it into actionable intelligence.
Predictive Failure Detection
The system predicts the probability of failure for each test parameter, product type, and component.
Real-time Anomaly Detection
Detects abnormal behavior in machines, components, or test stations before failures escalate.
Automated Mapping of SMT Test Data
Automatically identifies patterns, correlations, and recurring issues across SPI, AOI, ICT, and FCT.
Root Cause Analysis
Pinpoints the exact parameter, symptom, or faulty component responsible for the failure.
Test Limit Optimization
Simulates statistically correct limits to prevent false failures and improve yield accuracy.
FPY, OEE, and Line-Level Dashboards
Interactive dashboards provide real-time visibility into efficiency, cycle time, and defects.
Plus: Retest and duplicate test reduction identifies unnecessary test loops and helps reduce operational costs.
By integrating data from various production equipment, QualityLine identifies inefficiencies, defects, and bottlenecks, allowing manufacturers to address issues proactively. Its machine learning algorithms detect patterns and predict potential failures, reducing downtime and improving yield rates.

The Problems SMT Teams Face Today
Manufacturers constantly struggle with:
• Low FPY and unpredictable yield drops
• Defects that AOI or SPI fail to flag early
• Disconnected test stations that hide the real root cause
• Slow manual data collection across SMT equipment
• No visibility into patterns of failure across products, lots, or lines
• Time lost on retests and manual troubleshooting
These challenges directly increase scrap, rework, labor cost, and downtime.
