After successfully launching the Integrated Inspection System for dispensing processes, Essemtec is proud to unveil a fully integrated solution encompassing both dispensing and pick & place operations. With this expanded capability, the inspection system can now evaluate both dispensed fluidic applications and components, ensuring comprehensive quality control across the manufacturing process.
The Integrated Inspection System (I2S) is a comprehensive solution designed for inspecting dispensed and jetted materials, as well as placed Surface Mount Device (SMD) components immediately after the manufacturing process. Its primary function is to ensure that only high-quality, inspected products proceed to the reflow ovens. Additionally, the system incorporates an automated repair function to rectify any identified issues efficiently.
I2S is seamlessly integrated into the production flow of machines running ePlace, providing a streamlined and efficient inspection process. It functions as an integral part of the production sequence, allowing for the seamless integration of inspection without disrupting workflow. Furthermore, our Essemtec Machines and Software solutions are renowned for their inherent flexibility. This flexibility extends to the Integrated Inspection System (I2S), allowing for full customization according to specific requirements. Users can selectively disable inspection for individual identifiers, optimizing the process by focusing inspection on selected dispensed fluidic or specific components. This ensures efficient process optimization and maximizes the utilization of resources.

Quality control holds paramount importance at every stage of the manufacturing process. There are several benefice to use I2S, including:
- Optimization of yield and enhancement of throughput
- Early detection of issues to minimize scrap and reduce costs of quality
- Ensuring traceability of components and materials throughout the manufacturing process
