Segment 9 of Koh Young Webinar Series: Koh Young Auto Programming (KAP)
November 24, 2021 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
Watch & Learn!
In this engaging, 12-part micro webinar series, Koh Young topic experts Joel Scutchfield and Ivan Aduna examine 3D inspection, AI, CFX, connectivity and smart factory success.
At just over 8 minutes, the ninth episode, “AI in Action” is now available to view.
Designed to complement Koh Young’s I-007eBook, The Printed Circuit Assembler’s Guide to...SMT Inspection, Today, Tomorrow and Beyond, presenters Scutchfield and Aduna share highly focused educational information on the use of data gathered during the inspection process.
In this segment, viewers will learn about 3D profilometry technology and how it converges with Koh Young’s proprietary AI technology to deliver true automatic programming. This geometry-based software solution reduces the programming process to minimize time to production and reduce costs.
This entire webinar series can be viewed in an hour and covers a comprehensive range of topics surrounding 3D inspection and the use of smart data gathered during the inspection process. Most of the 12 segments can be viewed in about five minutes.
