Cybord's software solutions monitor placements on SMT lines in real time and eliminate the use of nonconforming electronic components during product assembly, while arming OEMs and EMSs with visibility and traceability. Using artificial intelligence and big data, Cybord's technology detects counterfeit, defective, and tampered components, including hardware-based cybersecurity threats. Component defects are addressed during placement and before reflow, simplifying rework and improving product reliability. By integrating with MES systems, nonconforming material is placed on quarantine and prevented from being used. Manufacturers get a dashboard view of all assembled components, assembled boards, and traceability data from multiple production sites and contract manufacturers. Alongside inspection, early repair, and prevention, Cybord creates placement traceability (as-made certificate) that combines material inspection, documentation, and visual imagery to establish material provenance with intelligent board/component tracking for better recall management.
