Should you use Cogiscan's solutions?

"ARC Advisory Group recommends that manufacturers, machine builders, system integrators, and suppliers to machine builders use a third-party solution to speed up implementation, which will lower the total cost and speed up the time-line of providing connectivity, avoiding in-house solutions in which the time and expense would be substantially greater."

“Juki has partnered with Cogiscan for many years. Since Cogiscan is a neutral third party and already has access to the required data for many machine manufacturers, it is just one more step for them to convert the data into CFX format. It’s easier and faster for everyone, which hopefully will help customers reap the benefits faster.”

How to avoid getting stuck with a SMT manufacturing analytics tool filled with meaningless data

Many software companies, and even some of the leading machine vendors, offer interesting SMT manufacturing analytics tool for the PCBA industry. But, does a better SMT analytics tool automatically mean better insights?

A Proven AI Algorithm to Reduce AOI False Calls and Manual Verification by Up to 60%

Here is a concrete example of how an AI algorithm can be used to reduce AOI false calls and manual verification by up to 60% during the SMT process.

Series 1 – When Implementing Factory Analytics, Shop-Floor Connectivity Isn’t as Simple as It Seems

Advanced Analytics starts with good data. I met with a wide range of customers within electronics manufacturing – both mid-sized and large EMS suppliers and OEMs – and while each of them faces unique challenges implementing a factory digitalization strategy, the biggest takeaway for me is that shop-floor connectivity is still a major hurdle for all players.
