ConductVision checks hand-assembly and rework benches for gloves and goggles and counts the boards waiting between steps for electronics production and quality teams.

Electronics manufacturing demands inspection accuracy at the micron level across components that are too small and too numerous for reliable human evaluation. Solder joint quality, component placement accuracy, wire bond integrity, and surface mount defects must be verified at speeds that match automated assembly equipment. ConductVision's technology can provide high-resolution visual inspection models trained specifically for electronics manufacturing environments, including PCB assembly, semiconductor packaging, and final product verification. Cleanroom monitoring and ESD compliance tracking can provide additional operational oversight for sensitive production environments.

Outcomes

What your team gets

Gloves at the rework bench

Operators at rework and hand-solder benches take gloves off for fine work and forget to put them back.

Skin oils from bare hands stay on boards and connectors through the next process steps.

How
ConductVision checks each person at the bench for gloves whenever a circuit board is in view.
You get
A glove rate per bench and shift, with clips of bare-hand handling.

Eye protection at coating and laser stations

Conformal coating, laser marking and cleaning stations need goggles, and operators move between stations all shift.

One supervisor cannot see which stations lose eye protection on a night shift.

How
ConductVision checks each person at those stations for goggles, and for a mask where the station requires one.
You get
Goggle and mask rates per station and shift, with each gap clipped.

Boards waiting between steps

Boards wait on carts and racks between reflow, inspection and test, and no one logs for how long.

Planners cannot see which step holds the boards back until orders run late.

How
ConductVision counts the circuit boards on carts and racks in each staging-area view.
You get
Hourly counts of waiting boards per staging area, showing where work piles up.

The challenge

Surface mount components are shrinking to 01005 packages (0.4 x 0.2 mm) that are invisible to unaided human inspection. Solder defects like cold joints, bridging, and insufficient wetting have distinct visual signatures but occur across thousands of joints per board. False reject rates from rule-based AOI systems waste significant operator time on phantom defects.

Our approach

ConductVision can deploy deep learning inspection models that achieve higher defect detection rates with significantly lower false reject rates compared to traditional AOI rule sets. Models can adapt to new component types through transfer learning, reducing new product introduction inspection setup from weeks to days.

How we check the model

Each pilot measures ConductVision on your own footage against a sample checked by hand, before anyone relies on its numbers.

  • Glove alert precision

    Share of bare-hand alerts that a reviewer confirms in a hand-checked sample of clips.

    % · by bench

  • Board count agreement

    Difference between the ConductVision board count and a reviewer's hand count on sampled stills.

    boards per still (mean absolute difference) · by staging area

  • Gap recall

    Share of glove and goggle gaps a reviewer finds in sampled footage that ConductVision also flagged.

Use cases

Where teams put it to work

Solder Joint Inspection

High-magnification cameras can evaluate solder joint quality on SMT and through-hole assemblies, detecting cold joints, bridging, tombstoning, and insufficient wetting. Deep learning models can distinguish true defects from acceptable process variation, reducing false rejects.

Component Placement Verification

Post-placement cameras can verify component presence, correct orientation, polarity markings, and positional accuracy against design data. Missing or misaligned components can be flagged before reflow, preventing costly post-reflow rework.

Wire Bond and Die Attach Inspection

Semiconductor packaging inspection can verify wire bond loop height, tail length, ball placement, and die attach void coverage. Defects can be classified and tracked to specific bonder heads or tool settings for process correction.

Cleanroom Monitoring

Cameras can monitor cleanroom gowning compliance, particle-generating activities, and door seal integrity. Personnel traffic patterns can be analyzed to identify contamination risk behaviors and optimize cleanroom layout and protocols.

ESD Compliance Tracking

Detection models can verify wrist strap usage, ESD smock wearing, and proper grounding practices at workstations. Compliance events can be logged for quality system auditing and correlated with field failure data for root-cause analysis.
