DS200TCQCG1BGF The global electronics manufacturing industry is worth $46 trillion, and there are more than 10 million factories, and producing products without defects is critical to these factories. To refine their products, head electronics manufacturers are adopting NVIDIA Metropolis.
NVIDIA founder and CEO Jen-Hsun Huang announced during his keynote address at COMPUTEX in Taipei that more than 50 manufacturing giants and industrial automation suppliers – including Foxconn Industrial Internet, Pegatron, Quanta, Siemens, and Wistron – are using NVIDIA Metropolis.
NVIDIA Metropolis is a collection of factory automation workflows that enables industrial technology companies and manufacturers to develop, deploy and manage custom quality control systems with a competitive advantage.
Global manufacturers spend more than $6 trillion a year on quality control and use defect detection on nearly every product line, but manual testing can’t keep up with demand.
Many manufacturers use automated Optical inspection (AOI) systems to help with inspection, but these systems often have a high rate of false detection, requiring labor-intensive and costly secondary manual inspection in an already challenging labor market, which undoubtedly reduces the value of AOI.
NVIDIA Metropolis can now provide the most advanced AI plDS200TCQCG1BGF atform and workflow for the development of applications such as AOI.
Pegatron is helping with Metropolis
AOI development in the factory
Pegatron is currently using NVIDIA Metropolis on its production line.
Pegatron makes everything from motherboards to smartphones, laptops and game consoles. The company DS200TCQCG1BGF has 12 factories that handle more than 300 products and more than 5,000 parts every day, which requires a lot of product quality control. In addition, due to frequent product updates, their AOI systems need to be constantly modified.
Pegatron is using a full set of Metropolis workflows to support analog, robotic and automated production inspection in printed circuit board (PCB) factories. With Metropolis, the electronics manufacturing giant is able to quickly update defect detection models starting with small data sets and enable AOI systems to achieve 99.8 percent accuracy.
