Seoul, Korea<\/strong><\/em> \u2013Koh Young Technology, the global leader in True 3D measurement-based inspection solutions, has been recognized with a Productronica Innovation Award for its breakthrough KPO solution. The award honors the most forward-thinking products and manufacturing technologies shaping the future of electronics production. Selected by an independent jury from numerous submissions across six categories, the program recognizes innovations that advance key areas such as AI, automation, robotics, and high-precision manufacturing.<\/p>

Koh Young Process Optimizer (KPO) earned recognition within the Inspection & Quality cluster for redefining how manufacturers approach line optimization. As the industry\u2019s first AI-powered platform that unites printer, mounter, and inspection into a coordinated closed-loop system, KPO transforms True 3D measurement data into autonomous decisions that tune production continuously and in real time. The result is improved yield, reduced variability, and a clearer, more predictable path to process stability.<\/p>

Industry challenges demand new approaches<\/strong><\/h4>

Increasing board density, shrinking components, and rising production complexity are pushing traditional inspection and process-control methods to their limits. Engineering teams face the dual pressure of maintaining quality while supporting higher output, often with fewer resources. These conditions are driving the industry toward closed-loop intelligence as a requirement rather than an option.<\/p>

A practical step forward for manufacturers<\/strong><\/h4>

KPO elevates inspection from a passive checkpoint to an active command center that interacts directly with printers and mounters. By applying AI-driven decisions and line-level intelligence, it resolves variation earlier, stabilizes ramp-up, and shortens new product introduction. Early adopters report faster defect resolution, greater line consistency, and a material reduction in manual adjustments.<\/p>

Recognition for meaningful progress<\/strong><\/h4>

\u201cThis award reflects the importance of closing the loop between machines with decisions driven by precise data,\u201d said Solin Ahmad, COO at Koh Young Europe, who accepted the honor on behalf of Koh Young Technology. \u201cKPO demonstrates how real-time AI can support engineers in creating stable, predictable production environments. It is a practical step toward fully autonomous electronics manufacturing.\u201d<\/p>

Breakthrough technology enabling the next generation of factories<\/strong><\/h4>

KPO combines precise True 3D metrology, advanced AI models, and seamless cloud-to-edge connectivity to achieve continuous learning and autonomous optimization. As a core element of the Koh Young KSMART ecosystem, it integrates naturally with platforms such as KPO Printer, KPO Mounter, and Smart Review to provide coordinated process insight and control.<\/p>

A foundation for the future<\/strong><\/h4>

As manufacturers pursue higher first-pass yield, reduced rework, and greater operational efficiency, KPO offers a measurable path to productivity improvements while simplifying line management. The recognition underscores Koh Young\u2019s ongoing work to advance closed-loop, AI-driven control systems that support tomorrow\u2019s self-optimizing factories.<\/p>

The award was presented during the productronica trade fair, held November 12\u201315, 2025, in Munich, where global innovators gathered to showcase next-generation manufacturing technologies.<\/p>

About Koh Young Technology, Inc.<\/strong><\/h4>

Koh Young helps manufacturers prevent defects, stabilize processes, and increase throughput. Since 2002, the
company has led True3D\u2122 measurement-based metrology and inspection, beginning with the industry\u2019s first 3D solder
paste inspection system using patented dual-projection Moir\u00e9 technology. Building on that foundation, Koh Young
addresses complex applications including machined parts, press-fit and through-hole pins, conformal coatings,
dispensed materials, and semiconductor packaging. A continuous innovation mindset and a customer-focused R&D
approach underpin its leadership. With global operations and regional teams, Koh Young provides local support, training,
and process expertise that turn inspection data into decisive, closed-loop action for a smarter factory. Learn more about
