Introduction
Precision and quality control are crucial in industries such as smart devices, automotive electronics, telecommunications, healthcare, and semiconductors. A leading Korean provider of measurement-based inspection equipment sought to enhance their PCB (Printed Circuit Board) quality inspection process with a modernized, real-time monitoring system.
By partnering with GITS, they successfully implemented a Product Quality Inspection & Monitoring System that leverages high-resolution imaging, data analytics, and web-based visualization. This transformation improved production efficiency, defect detection, and decision-making, setting a new benchmark for quality control in PCB manufacturing.
Customer overview
The client specializes in measurement-based inspection solutions, ensuring high precision in quality control and process optimization across multiple industries. They required an intelligent software solution that could:
– Capture high-resolution images of PCBs during production.
– Analyze defects and highlight quality issues in real-time.
– Provide visualized monitoring data to factory managers.
The goal was to enhance production efficiency by quickly identifying and addressing defects, ensuring the highest standards of quality.
Our solution: a two-part advanced inspection system
To meet the client’s demands, GITS designed and implemented a comprehensive quality inspection system with two core components:
1. Desktop application for inspection machines
– The system integrates with PCB inspection machines that capture high resolution images.
– The software analyzes the images, identifying defects, misalignments, and inconsistencies in real-time.
– The analyzed data is transmitted to a central server, enabling factory-wide monitoring and reporting.
– The results are displayed on-screen, providing engineers with instant feedback for corrective actions.
2. Web-based monitoring system for real-time visualization
– The monitoring system is developed as a web application, accessible from any device (PCs, tablets, and mobile phones).
– It provides a clear, visual representation of quality data across all production lines.
– Factory managers can track defects, analyze trends, and optimize production processes based on real-time data.
– The system supports data-driven decision-making, allowing engineers to improve manufacturing efficiency.
Collaboration & on-site support
To maximize efficiency and minimize costs, we deployed a dedicated development team to work onsite with the customer’s engineers. This ensured seamless integration, continuous support, and optimized maintenance costs.
Technology stack and system architecture
The system was built using a robust and scalable tech stack:
– Desktop Application (running on PCB inspection machines): Developed using C#, WPF, and C/C++, ensuring high performance and real-time image processing.
– Monitoring Web Application: Built with Java Spring Boot (backend), Oracle (database), and Angular (frontend) for a modern, user-friendly dashboard.
The architecture enables seamless communication between inspection machines and the monitoring system, ensuring accurate and fast defect detection.
Project impact: enhanced quality control & efficiency
The implementation of this system transformed the client’s PCB inspection process, leading to several key benefits:
– Improved defect detection: High-resolution imaging and automated analysis allowed for faster identification of PCB defects.
– Real-time monitoring: Factory managers gained instant access to quality insights, enabling quicker corrective actions.
– Optimized production efficiency: Engineers could fine-tune production lines based on accurate defect data.
– Reduced operational costs: The web-based system eliminated manual reporting, saving time and reducing human error.
The successful deployment of this cutting-edge inspection and monitoring system has significantly enhanced product quality, ensuring the client maintains its leadership in precision inspection solutions.
Project details
– Development team: 15 members.
– Project duration: 12 months.
