Global Automated Optical Inspection Systems Market Size

Automated optical inspection is a method that utilizes optics to obtain high-quality images of the printed circuit board to detect any defect or anomaly in the PCB component assembly. The probability of errors in the manufacture and assemble of PCB parts has risen owing to the fast speed and large volume of manufacturing processes and the reality that the size and complexity of PCBs have decreased with the miniaturization of the parts has positively impacted the market for automated optical inspection systems.

The key objective of the automated optical inspection (AOI) is to conduct the real-time inspection provided by the electronics manufacturing company as well as to provide analytical evidence that is critical for process control and improvement as production volumes increase. AOI systems use a variety of methods such as Template Matching, Pattern Matching, and Statistical Pattern Matching. This also assists with assessing if there are missing parts, incomplete connections, and poor solder joints.

Automated Optical Inspection Systems Market Share

This ensures that the consistency of the product leaving the assembly line is good and that the items are produced correctly, without any manufacturing defects. Automated optical inspection is known to be a reliable inspection process for printed circuit boards (PCBs) in the overwhelming majority of electronic products manufacturing industries. High technology adoption in the consumer electronics industry is driving the development of the global demand for automated optical inspection systems.
