Nordson Test & Inspection, a global leader in inspection, metrology, and testing solutions, announced that its Nordson Sight™ Software Process Control Platform received a 2026 Mexico Technology Award in the Software Process Control category. The award was presented during a ceremony held before SMTA Guadalajara 2026 on Wednesday, October 7, 2026, in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico.
Nordson Sight™ is a production-ready statistical process control (SPC) platform designed to help electronics manufacturers transform inspection data into actionable process intelligence. By collecting, analyzing, and visualizing critical manufacturing data in real time, the software enables users to identify trends, detect process variations, and make faster, data-driven decisions to improve quality and productivity.
Built for scalability, Nordson Sight supports applications ranging from individual machines to complete factory-wide deployments. Its efficient architecture enables manufacturers to manage increasing data volumes across multiple inspection systems while maintaining fast performance, reliable reporting, and consistent data integrity.
Compatible with Nordson Test & Inspection’s portfolio of automated optical inspection (AOI), solder paste inspection (SPI), coordinate measurement (CMM) and automated X-ray inspection (AXI) systems, Nordson Sight provides a unified view of manufacturing performance across inspection technologies. Flexible reporting capabilities and support for multiple output formats allow users to integrate insights into existing workflows and quality management processes.
With an intuitive interface designed for rapid adoption, Nordson Sight simplifies access to SPC charts, defect analysis, and yield information, allowing operators and engineers to focus on continuous improvement rather than manual data collection and analysis. Secure data management and controlled access features help manufacturers protect critical production information while maintaining traceability.
By enabling smarter process control, faster response to production issues, and improved visibility across manufacturing operations, Nordson Sight helps electronics manufacturers build more efficient, reliable, and data-driven production environments.
