subit first article detector: Make SMT quality control more efficient

2025-11-19 180

Today, as the electronics manufacturing industry transforms to high-density, multi-functional, small-batch and multi-variety, first-article testing, as the "first line of defense for quality" in mass production, directly determines production efficiency, cost control and product reliability. Shenzhen subit is deeply involved in the field of SMT testing, relying on the advantages of local electronics industry clusters to create an intelligent, accurate and efficient SMT first piece detector, completely solve the pain points of traditional testing, and provide a full-process quality assurance solution for global electronics manufacturing enterprises.
The pain points of the industry are prominent, and the traditional testing model is unsustainable
The iteration of electronic manufacturing technology and the diversification of market demand have made the disadvantages of traditional first-article inspection methods increasingly prominent:
Low efficiency slows down production capacity, manual inspection requires 2 people to cooperate, and it takes more than 2 hours to face a PCB board with thousands of components, resulting in equipment waiting for idle and insufficient utilization rate.
Manual judgment is prone to errors, relying on operator experience, visual fatigue can easily lead to problems such as wrong materials, polarity misjudgment, and missed inspections, which directly leads to batch rework and material waste.
Difficult management traceability, cumbersome archiving of paper reports, inability to quickly retrieve test data, and difficulty in meeting industry compliance requirements such as ISO and RoHS.
Labor costs are high, the training cycle of skilled inspectors is long, and professional engineers still need to intervene in complex board testing, accounting for more than 30% of labor costs.
Subit's core advantage: Reconstruct the first article inspection experience in four dimensions
Intelligent and efficient, the detection efficiency is increased by 60%+

The subit first article detector is equipped with AI visual recognition and automatic optimization algorithms to achieve one-click intelligent matching of BOM, CAD coordinates and PCB images, eliminating the need for manual data entry. Through 4800DPI high-definition optical scanning and FOV image stitching technology, the components are magnified dozens of times and clearly presented, with the automatic reading of LCR bridges and gear switching functions, the inspection process can be completed without manual intervention, and a single operator can complete the whole process of inspection, which is more than 60% higher than the traditional method and greatly shortens the waiting time of the production line.
Accurate and reliable, with a defect identification rate of 99.95%
It adopts a high-precision LCR test module with a measurement accuracy of 0.05%, covering the accurate detection of various components such as inductance, capacitance, and resistance. Combined with AI component recognition and polarity judgment technology, it automatically identifies defects such as wrong parts, missing parts, multiple stickers, and package mismatches, eliminating human judgment errors. Real-time statistics on inspection data, leakage prevention mechanism ensures that no components are missed, reduces product defect rate by more than 30%, and helps enterprises pass strict industry standard certifications such as IPC-A-610.
Full traceability, easier compliance management
Automatic synchronous storage of inspection data, generation of tamper-proof electronic reports, support export in PDF/Excel format, complete recording of inspection time, personnel, results, defect location and other information, and realize the traceability of the whole process. The system supports stand-alone and network version deployment, and can be connected to MES/ERP systems to meet the needs of multi-workshop collaborative management and audit compliance, completely saying goodbye to the problems of paper document confusion and traceability.
Flexible adaptation, covering all scenario application needs
For the inspection needs of different industries and different board types, the Subit First Article Detector is highly flexible:
Support large-size PCBA and flexible circuit detection, and customized large depth of field lenses to solve the problem of fixing special-shaped boards.
Compatible with multiple BOM formats, coordinate data can be quickly imported, and double-sided PCB inspection can be switched between different versions of the same product without repeated programming.
It is suitable for consumer electronics, automotive electronics, 5G communications, medical equipment, semiconductor packaging and other fields, meeting the high-demand testing scenarios from ordinary civilian to automotive-grade and military-grade inspection scenarios.
Relying on Shenzhen's innovation genes, it has created hard-core brand strength
As a local brand rooted in Shenzhen, Subit deeply integrates the resources of the electronics industry and technological innovation atmosphere in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area:
The R&D team is composed of engineers who have been deeply involved in the field of SMT inspection for more than 10 years, focusing on AI vision, Internet of Things, and precision measurement technology iterations to ensure that product technology is always leading.
Adopting modular design and strict quality control standards, equipment energy consumption is reduced by 30%, in line with the trend of green manufacturing, and has remote diagnosis and fast maintenance capabilities to reduce downtime.
Provide full-cycle services from equipment selection, door-to-door commissioning, personnel training to after-sales maintenance, with a response speed faster than the industry average to ensure the stable operation of the production line.
Empower thousands of industries and witness the upgrading of intelligent manufacturing
At present, the subit SMT first article detector has been widely used in many customer scenarios such as Huawei's supply chain, leading consumer electronics companies, and automotive electronic module manufacturers: after the introduction of a mobile phone motherboard manufacturer, the pass-through rate increased from 88% to 95%, and the customer complaint rate decreased by 60%; An automotive sensor company achieved zero defect detection through equipment, reducing the risk of market recalls by 70%. From a single factory to a multinational group, Subit uses its technical strength to help enterprises reduce costs and increase efficiency, and accelerate the transformation of intelligent manufacturing.
Under the policy of Industry 4.0 and Made in China 2025, SMT first article inspection is accelerating its evolution in the direction of intelligence, automation, and integration. Shenzhen Subit will continue to iterate on innovative technologies and products with customer needs as the core, provide more accurate, more efficient, and more intelligent quality control solutions for electronic manufacturing enterprises, and work with global customers for a win-win situation to create a new future of intelligent manufacturing.
