The rise of the consumer electronics industry has driven the market for machine vision

In the field of consumer electronics, machine vision is mainly used in PCB/FPCAOI inspection, parts and complete machine appearance inspection, assembly guidance and other applications, and presents more and more new application scenarios. It can be said that the rise of consumer electronics manufacturing has driven the market for machine vision.

PCB defect detection is mainly two parts: solder joint defect detection and component inspection. Traditional manual visual inspection methods are easy to miss, and the efficiency is not high, and the cost is low. The advantage of machine vision PCBs is that they ensure that the operator can deal with the problem in a timely manner before adding the PCB. In addition, when defects are found, it can effectively avoid repair or abandonment, and the operator can get timely feedback to clarify whether the printing process in operation is operating well, so as to achieve the purpose of preventing defective production.

AOI optical inspection is an emerging science and technology that performs tasks such as measurement, inspection, identification and guidance in industrial production, and is widely used in the PCB defect inspection process. It uses optical illumination and image sensing technology to obtain the information of the measured object, enhances the target features through digital image processing, uses pattern recognition, machine learning, deep learning and other algorithms to extract feature information, classifies and characterizes, and then feeds back to the executive control agency to achieve production goals such as product classification, group sorting, and quality control. The basic principle is to use various optical imaging technologies and systems to simulate the visual imaging function of the human eye, use a computer processing system instead of the human brain to perform real-time image processing, feature recognition and classification, and use an actuator instead of a human hand to complete the operation.

With the small size and high-quality standards of consumer electronics components, machine vision can solve problems in the production process. In addition, the short life cycle and large demand of consumer electronics have greatly boosted the demand of the machine vision market. According to the research report, the market size of machine vision in the field of consumer electronics and semiconductors will be close to the level of 3 billion in 2019
