Use AI to find known and unknown issues

Our AI works with just 30 units and station setup can be completed in just 30 minutes. Quickly identify anomalies in your images or your datasets so that you can solve issues earlier in your builds before they become bigger problems.

SOLVE

Fix issues faster and earlier in your build

If you have functional failures, our AI will crunch through the data, connect the visual data to the test data and suggest potential root causes by looking for areas where your visual anomalies correlate to your test failure. You can also start solving your hardest problems with just your test data.

1

Why are these units failing this bluetooth test?

2

It looks like this assembly issue is correlated to these test failures.

3

Instrumental’s AI will rank potential root causes, saving countless hours of tedious failure analysis

1

Have the ability to watch the assembly of any failed unit .

2

Ensure your operators are consistently following the right procedures to prevent future failures.

1

Get a complete data record of each unit for failure analysis, with high-resolution images, test results, and measurement tools to avoid manual teardowns or drawn out communication with your factory.

MONITOR

Continuously improve with confidence

Proactive monitoring ensures issues are caught earlier and don’t lead to missed production targets. With Image Streams, create dozens of tests in minutes by training our AI to understand the difference between passing and failing to solve issues on the line. With Data Streams, view control charts, Cpk, and receive Statistical Process Control (SPC) alerts if tests start to drift.

Users can opt to receive personalized alerts for visual anomalies and test data with a few clicks. When issues do occur, quickly find the root cause by diving into our correlations feature.

Instrumental Customer Story

Fortune 50 Electronics Company Automatically Discovered 3 Root Causes for Antenna Issues

Immediately see results from feed screw length DOE

Discover that antenna connector angle really matters

Pinpoint poor performance to a specific vendor (found due to color difference)

process results
  • Data Correlations identified feed screw length root cause, leading to a design change
  • Image Correlations identified coax connector angle and PCB vendor, leading to a process change & a vendor investigation
Instrumental Customer Story

Fortune 50 Electronics Company correlated functional failures to visual anomalies, eliminating 5 months of failure analysis

Prior to Instrumental we would need to rely on a series of serendipitous events to get the data we needed to take action; now we know these defects actually impact function.”
