Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) Equipment Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, Forecast Up to 2024

Albany, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/18/2016 -- Automated optical inspection (AOI) was first announced in the mid-90s and is now deployed globally in most of the surface mount technology (SMT) assembly lines. AOI detects millions of points on the surface to be inspected and these points are later analyzed to identify any defects in the goods produced. This equipment is used to detect a variety of surface feature defects, including incorrect components, open circuits, scratches, stains and short circuits, along with inaccurately placed components and as well as missing components in an instrument. AOI basically functions as an automatic visual inspection apparatus for a large number of products such as product packaging labels, agricultural harvests inspections (fruits or seed corn), printed circuit boards (PCBs), along with automobile parts inspections. Automated optical inspection is regarded as one of the furthermost reliable inspection processes for printed circuit boards (PCBs) in a vast majority of electronics goods manufacturing industries.
