We'll discuss our experiences working with first-tier electronics manufacturing facilities to apply machine learning techniques to their product design processes and production pipelines. We'll provide details about several applications in the domains of circuit defect and product appearance inspections, quality control, and the associated edge AI algorithms, and explain the machinery we created to solve these problems. When applying AI to smart manufacturing, the first problems that come to mind are usually automatic product inspection, but in reality we often need to carefully redefine the problems to yield a satisfactory solution and return on investment.

National Instruments' cofounder reflects on 40 years in test and measurement and discusses the future of the industry. Key points:
- NI helped transition the industry from hardware-focused to software-centric, with tools like LabVIEW and the philosophy that "the software is the instrument."
- Moore's Law and parallel computing allowed NI to leverage advances in hardware to continually improve software tools and deliver more value.
- Emerging technologies like IoT, wireless, and data analytics will further drive the industry, and NI is well-positioned with its software-centric approach and ecosystem of partners.
The most popular National Instruments Semiconductor Test System (STS) enclosure for production test is the T2, not the T1 as some may assume. The T2 enclosure, which has two bays for PXI instruments, provides twice the capacity as the T1 enclosure with a only 25% higher acquisition cost. This small increase in upfront cost is offset by the benefits of avoiding delays and limitations that could arise from running out of space in the smaller T1 enclosure for testing new devices. While the T1 may be sufficient for characterization and sample testing, the T2 is favored for production testing as it provides flexibility to adapt to changing test needs over time without constraints on the number of instruments that can be used.

STS is Bridging Semiconductor Test from the Lab to ProductionHank Lydick
NI aims to bridge the gap between semiconductor design, lab characterization, and production testing. Currently, different tools, methods, and databases are used at each stage, making it difficult to reproduce failures and correlate results. NI's solution is to use a common PXI and LabVIEW platform from characterization through production. This allows test cases developed in the lab to be reused in production, improves debugging and productivity across stages, and helps accelerate the path to validating chips and production testing.
Charlie has been greeting a customer at a family-owned pump service business for 41 years, showing the business's commitment to both employees and customers.
