Why AOI, SPI, and Test Data Still Don’t Improve SMT FPY (and What Engineers Can Do About It)
SMT Quality • FPY • Root Cause Analysis Why AOI, SPI, and Test Data Still Don’t Improve SMT FPY (and what to do about it) Many SMT teams have more inspection and test data than ever — yet FPY plateaus and investigations stay slow. The…
How to Boost SMT Quality Using QualityLine’s Predictive Analytics
Moving from reactive firefighting to proactive process control Surface-Mount Technology (SMT) lines must deliver both speed and precision. Even minor inefficiencies—such as solder paste inconsistencies, misplacements, or hidden process drifts—can quickly cascade into costly defects, line downtime, and missed delivery targets. Traditional quality control methods…
SMT analytics to find failures in the assembly process
Surface-mount technology (SMT) analytics is a tool used in the electronics industry to identify and analyze failures in the SMT assembly process. SMT is a method of manufacturing electronics where components are attached directly to the surface of a printed circuit board (PCB) without the…
