Abstract
As technology became more advanced, a lot of products have included electric circuits in order to increase their capabilities. The demand for circuit boards rises naturally alongside with the demand for these products said above. Many manufacturers have started to incorporate automation systems into their production lines, which has increased productivity in various industries and helped them to cope with manpower shortages. As circuit boards become an important aspect in almost everything, the demand for higher yields and production quality increases, and line automation, including artificial intelligence such as robotic arms and machine learning, becomes more common in the manufacturing industry. In the circuit board manufacturing industry, more and more new products are being introduced and the demand for circuit boards is increasing, so better quality control and production efficiency are required. The industry has been using automatic optical inspection machines for about 20 years to identify defects in circuit boards, but currently relies on manual repair processes, which are inefficient and prone to errors. The system can be integrated with the robot arm, using artificial intelligence and computer vision to classify images and control the arm to perform repair to improve the efficiency of the board manufacturing process and reduce the cost of repairing boards, which can maximize the production line and increase the profitability of the company.
