In the fiercely competitive world of PCB manufacturing, production accuracy is crucial for achieving gross profit targets. Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) systems are key to detecting issues early and preventing product defects, effectively reducing rework and scrap costs while maximizing production quality.
A stable and reliable network is crucial for ensuring the AOI system's performance, from high-definition image acquisition to PCB quality assessment.

Customer Case Study
A PCB manufacturer wanted to introduce a modern automated optical inspection (AOI) system to perform defect detection earlier in the production process, thereby improving production quality. High-resolution images and other data were essential for analyzing and identifying defects, necessitating an industrial network capable of supporting massive data transmission.
Project Requirements
High bandwidth required to transmit large amounts of data, including high-definition images.
A stable and reliable network ensures uninterrupted production processes.
User-friendly devices facilitate rapid deployment and ongoing maintenance.

Moxa Solution
From capturing high-definition images to assessing PCB quality, AOI systems rely on reliable network connections. Any instability can easily disrupt the entire system. Moxa's SDS-3000/G3000 series smart switches support redundancy protocols such as RSTP, STP, and MRP, ensuring optimal reliability across various network topologies.

Effectively Addressing Pain Points
