Siemens Rastatt

Siemens Rastatt, specializing in HVAC products, had four production lines with AOI machines for PCBA inspection. False calls from AOI were causing alarm fatigue among operators, leading to more mistakes and unintentional approval of faulty boards. This resulted in greater overhead and losses from defects discovered later in production.

Siemens Rastatt implemented Opcenter Intelligence AOI False Call Reduction (FCR) software as a SaaS solution. The system was integrated into existing AOI machines with commissioning taking under 12 weeks. The solution uses AI to analyze and reduce false positive calls from automated optical inspection.

First Pass Yield improved by 42% with no added input from AOI specialists. ROI was achieved in just 8 months. The company plans to use AI for routing analysis of good boards and is evaluating the software for shop floor automation and component analysis.

• AI-powered false call reduction dramatically improves First Pass Yield without additional specialist effort
• SaaS deployment model enables rapid implementation in under 12 weeks
• Reducing alarm fatigue improves both operator accuracy and overall quality outcomes
