AI image inspection on surface-mount production lines
Kingston reported about 8% higher optical-inspection first-pass yield after adding Phison AI
Problem
Kingston's varied surface-mount products were difficult for existing optical-inspection equipment to assess. False classifications increased inspection work.
Approach
Kingston integrated Phison's aiDAPTIV+ AOI service into its production inspection systems. The teams worked closely on AI image learning for defect detection. Kingston's manufacturing executive said implementation took about 2 to 3 months.
Results
Takeaway
The reported improvement concerned inspection first-pass yield. It did not establish a corresponding reduction in manufacturing defects.
