Electronics quality control using X-ray in Comarch IoT Plant
Quality control is a key aspect of electronics manufacturing. However, due to the increasing complexity combined with miniaturization of electronic components, the challenge is to detect defects that can affect the performance of products. This forces the development of more and more accurate inspection methods and accompanying technologies to support the analysis of results.
