  10. About Koh Young Technology, Inc.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Artificial intelligence is transforming electronics manufacturing from a reactive process into a predictive and adaptive ecosystem. What began as isolated research projects has matured into an operational advantage that is reshaping how products are built, inspected, and optimized. At the center of this transformation is Koh Young Technology, a pioneer in True 3D measurement-based inspection systems using AI-driven software to help factories analyze, decide, and improve with greater confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Koh Young has advanced beyond traditional inspection by embedding AI into its platforms so that every line of data becomes a potential decision point. Solutions including\u00a0KPO Printer,\u00a0KPO Mounter,\u00a0KAP Auto Programming, and\u00a0Smart Review\u00a0are designed and developed entirely in-house to address real manufacturing challenges. To deliver the necessary speed and scalability for these AI workloads, Koh Young runs its engines on NVIDIA AI infrastructure and uses software technologies such as NVIDIA CUDA and\u00a0NVIDIA\u00a0<\/a>TensorRT. These platforms provide the computing performance required to process large sets of 3D measurement data in real time while Koh Young algorithms and process expertise determine the results. The outcome is not experimental but proven, with AI-enabled systems deployed on thousands of production lines around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The vision is clear: transform data into decisions and information into insights. Each solution demonstrates how actionable intelligence derived from True 3D measurement helps manufacturers achieve stable, efficient, and high-quality production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    A Foundation Built on Data and Experience<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    For more than twenty years, Koh Young has led the way in measurement-based inspection. Every SPI, AOI (read our Automated Optical Inspection<\/a> guide), and dispensing inspection system captures complete quantitative data, including height, volume, area, and shape, rather than simple images. This precise and reliable data is the foundation for effective AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/a>The AI R&D Center recognized early that data quality would determine AI success. Its engineers designed advanced engines capable of analyzing vast volumes of 3D measurement information in real time. These models identify subtle variations that are invisible to 2D systems and provide recommendations that keep production stable. GPU acceleration using NVIDIA platforms helps process this data quickly, while the AI logic, decision rules, and process models are developed by Koh Young to align with real factory conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u201cOur mission has always been to take AI beyond research and make it operational,\u201d said Jeff Lee, Head of the Industrial Solutions Business at Koh Young Technology. \u201cThe architecture we built, including GPU acceleration, provides the power to deploy real-time AI directly on the factory floor, not just in development labs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    KAP Auto Programming: Simplifying Complexity with AI<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Programming inspection systems has long been one of the most time-intensive steps in manufacturing. Engineers typically spend hours defining libraries, regions of interest, and test parameters. KAP (Koh Young Auto Programming) redefines that process with AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    KAP automatically generates inspection programs by recognizing component patterns and validating parameters with a continually expanding internal dataset of 3D measurement results. Koh Young AI models encapsulate years of application knowledge, allowing the system to recommend and configure inspection logic with minimal human input. GPU acceleration, provided by NVIDIA AI infrastructure, helps KAP evaluate large datasets quickly and keep cycle times low.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Programming work that once took hours can now be completed in minutes. As new board types are introduced, KAP learns and improves, reducing repetitive work and ensuring consistent quality. This philosophy to buy the best and build the rest underpins KAP development: relying on best-in-class computing hardware while building proprietary AI tools that are tailored to electronics manufacturing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Smart Review: Turning Insight into Action<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    While KPO and KAP focus on process optimization, Smart Review enhances inspection performance directly on the production floor. Traditional defect review depends heavily on manual verification, which can be slow and inconsistent. Smart Review uses AI to automatically classify defect images, separate real issues from false calls, and prioritize what operators need to review first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The system analyzes high-resolution 3D inspection data using Koh Young trained AI models and uses GPU acceleration for fast, reliable inference. Technologies such as NVIDIA TensorRT help speed up the underlying computations, but it is the inspection experience and labeling work provided by Koh Young that guide Smart Review decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The result is a streamlined workflow that lets operators focus on improvement rather than verification. Smart Review demonstrates the practical outcome of information transformed into insight and insight converted into action, allowing every decision on the floor to be data-driven.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    KPO: The Core of Smart Process Optimization<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    At the center of the industrial AI portfolio lies the Koh Young Process Optimizer (KPO), a suite that applies deep learning to enhance surface mount manufacturing. The platform includes Printer and Mounter modules, each addressing a distinct stage of the process while sharing data across the line to achieve true closed-loop optimization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    KPO Printer: Precision Starts Here<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Printing defines the quality of every assembly. Even small deviations in paste height or volume can cause downstream failures. KPO Printer uses 3D SPI data to monitor print conditions continuously and correct deviations before defects occur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    AI models embedded in KPO Printer analyze large image and measurement datasets to uncover trends and predict changes in real time. The system can identify causes such as stencil wear, paste viscosity drift, or squeegee pressure imbalance and automatically adjust parameters for consistency. To support this level of analysis at production speeds, Koh Young runs KPO Printer AI on NVIDIA AI infrastructure, using the NVIDIA accelerated computing stack, including NVIDIA CUDA and NVIDIA <\/a>TensorRT, to run demanding AI workloads on large volumes of True 3D measurement data. Manufacturers report shorter stabilization periods after product changeovers and measurable reductions in rework and scrap. It is a clear example of how advanced analytics turn data into decisions that protect yield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    KPO Mounter: Closing the Loop<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Once printing is optimized, KPO Mounter maintains placement accuracy through constant feedback from post-placement AOI data. It monitors component offset, rotation, and polarity trends to fine-tune equipment parameters automatically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n


    KPO Mounter evaluates data across multiple machines simultaneously and generates closed-loop adjustments that rule-based systems cannot achieve. GPU acceleration enables this analysis to occur in near real time, but the learning models and decision criteria are defined by Koh Young based on extensive field experience. As more data accumulates, KPO Mounter adaptive learning becomes even more precise, keeping lines stable despite frequent product changeovers. Together, KPO Printer and KPO Mounter create a self-correcting ecosystem that illustrates how AI converts information into insight across the entire SMT line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Accelerating Koh Young AI with NVIDIA AI Infrastructure<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    All these applications, including KAP, Smart Review, KPO Printer, and KPO Mounter rely on modern GPU computing for scalability and speed. Koh Young uses NVIDIA AI infrastructure and the NVIDIA accelerated computing stack, including NVIDIA CUDA and NVIDIA TensorRT, to run demanding AI workloads on large volumes of True 3D measurement data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The real differentiation lies in how these computing platforms are used. Koh Young extends them with proprietary industrial algorithms, domain-specific models, and a deep reservoir of 3D measurement data to create solutions tailored to real production conditions. This blend of computing performance and process intelligence defines how the company approaches industrial AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    A Roadmap Toward Smarter Manufacturing<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Research at the AI R&D Center continues to expand the reach of AI in manufacturing. Future developments include advanced packaging inspection, semiconductor analytics, and integrated closed-loop systems that connect every stage of the line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    By combining AI computing platforms with deep understanding of process behavior, Koh Young is building the foundation for self-adaptive manufacturing where equipment detects, decides, and acts autonomously. This direction mirrors the industry shift toward connected and intelligent production environments that can respond instantly to variability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The continued investment in AI demonstrates a belief that smarter manufacturing starts with measurable data, intelligent analysis, and decisive action. Every innovation builds on that foundation, showing how data becomes knowledge and knowledge becomes control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Looking Ahead: The Future of AI-Driven Manufacturing<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Across the global electronics industry, organizations are racing to embed AI into their operations. Few, however, have achieved the scale and maturity now visible in Koh Young deployments. By combining its True 3D measurement expertise with AI-driven software and accelerated computing platforms, the company offers solutions such as KPO Printer, KPO Mounter, KAP, and Smart Review that are transforming how manufacturers manage quality and optimize performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    It is a clear demonstration of the philosophy to buy the best, build the rest, and the capability to turn data into decisions and information into insights that define the future of smart manufacturing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
