The document highlights the importance of intelligent software in the New Product Introduction (NPI) process for PCBA, addressing key issues such as defects in designs and manufacturing that have led to significant recalls and accidents in various industries. It emphasizes the potential of Vayo's NPI solutions to predict defects before manufacturing, thereby improving quality, reliability, and efficiency while reducing costs. Additionally, the report notes that over 80% of defects can be identified and resolved during the NPI stage.

2. On year 2013, Hitachi
elevator free fall due to
defected board in China, a
lady was injured in this
event.
On year 2013, Chrysler
recalled >470,000 vehicles
due to defected board.
Due to abnormal
behavior of PCBA,
Taiwan high speed
train lost power on
year 2013.
Major reason of AirAsia
QZ8501 crash on year 2014
is a cracked solder joint on
PCBA.
On year 2013, GM recall
380,000 vehicles due to
defected engine control
board.
On year 2014, Mitsubishi
recall 115,000 cars due to
defect board of light switch.
It happens around us whatever you notice or not
