Automated optical inspection (AOI) is an automated visual inspection of printed circuit board (PCB) (or LCD, transistor) manufacture where a camera autonomously scans the device under test for both catastrophic failure (e. missing component) and quality defects (e. The system captures images of the PCB and compares them against a reference. They are used to check the visible quality features of an assembly, or in other words: was an assembly correctly assembled and soldered. Originally, and still used today, Manual Optical Inspection (MOI) was used for visual inspection. As electronic devices continue to shrink in size while growing in complexity, the need for precise, reliable, and efficient inspection methods has never.
