…example of robotic QC is FIH Mobile’s application of Google’s AutoML Vision algorithm. By using computer vision for product inspection, FIH Mobile was able to reduce its undetected defects rate by 75% while also slashing the inspection time required for each unit. 2. More efficient manufacturing One of the clearest advantages of using robots in electronics manufacturing and testing is improved efficiency. Manufacturers can automate a significant and growing portion of their processes, allowing the production of more units in less time. This is worth noting, given the ongoing electronics component shortage worldwide, which could last until at least 2024.…
