44 SMT007 MAGAZINE I JANUARY 2025 By Dr. Eyal Weiss, Cybord Ltd. In the ever-evolving landscape of electronics manufacturing, standards serve as guiding principles, adapting to the pulse of emerging technologies. This white paper embarks on an explo- ration of IPC-A-610, focused on the qual- ity of assembled PCBs, not merely as a compliance framework but as a dynamic entity poised for evolution. Our focus zeroes in on electronic com- ponents. This is because existing prac- tices predominantly utilize technology to inspect the assembly process, often sidelining the examina- tion of individual electronic components. As a result, these crucial components often find themselves excluded from the majority of automated tests con- ducted along the manufacturing line. We advocate for a user-centric approach, where immediate detection technology becomes the cat- alyst for redefining how IPC-A-610 integrates with the shop floor. This isn't a revolution; it's a transfor- mation, a shift in the orchestration of compliance. As we engage in this dialogue, we pose a simple yet profound question: How does the user experi- ence change with the infusion of real-time insights into IPC-A-610? Amidst our contemplation, we introduce a novel technology—a visual inspection system based on advanced AI that scrutinizes every component during assembly, ensuring a discreet yet compre- hensive 100% compliance check. Join us on this understated journey, not just to follow standards but to gently mold them into a harmonious reso- nance with contemporary possibilities, ushering IPC-A-610 into the realm of Smart manufacturing. White Paper Contents: • Defects on component leads/terminations • Bent or warped leads • Corrosion and cleanliness • Cleanliness: Foreign object debris (FOD) • Loss of metallization • Mounting upside down • Incorrect or missing marking IPC-A-610 Standard Compliance by Using Advanced AI Technology Conclusion As compliance with the US CHIPS Act becomes increasingly significant, the need for reliable verification of electronic compo- nent sources is paramount. Traditional trust- based methods are insufficient in today's com- plex supply chains. Cybord's solutions pro- vide a robust, technology-driven approach to ensure compliance and provenance. By leveraging advanced AI visual inspection and forensic analysis, manufacturers can achieve a level of certainty that was previously unat- tainable. Additionally, Cybord's technology extends to verifying finished goods and semi- finished products, ensuring that all compo- nents are original and have not been tam- pered with or modified at any point in the supply chain. is comprehensive verification capability not only reinforces product integ- rity but also supports adherence to regulator y requirements, ultimately enhancing trust in the supply chain.
