The solution is the long-term vision to help customers realize maximum production efficiency and control for today’s advanced electronics manufacturing. Today’s production environment confronts the manufacturer with various challenges; new(smaller) components being introduced for reduced product size, greater flexibility requirements for high-end/high-mix productions, and much higher standards for equipment that must communicate in real time. The solution comprises an easy-to-use, but powerful integrated toolbox designed to meet these challenges. Ksmart enables real-time analysis of defects, beginning with simply providing true 3D inspection data obtained from Koh Young’s 3D inspection systems. This data is essential for finding root causes of defects, and achieving process optimization. Further, it suggests ‘Copy Exact’ for multiple production lines and even different sites, as it provides the ability to control multiple inspection systems with standardized conditions and recipes.
Ksmart RMS is the first software product to achieve the total solution, the inspection machines’ status, production line yield information, and real time defect information from all SPI and AOI machines of the company in multiple production lines can be directly communicated with and operated efficiently. Factory managers can track root causes of defect issues and apply changes to inspection programs in real time. Real Time defect information is also shared with remote operators who can confirm the information. The trusted 3D measurement-based inspection dataset is the underlying enabling technology that allows users to optimize processes based on such data. The solution is introduced as a part of the total solution, and will be followed by Ksmart Link, which will allow customers to analyze all 3D inspection results from 3D SPI and 3D AOI systems.
