Cybord Unveils AI-Powered Real-Time Interception (RTI) Solution to Prevent Defective Electronic Products

The new visual AI solution prevents defective components from being assembled onto printed circuit boards in real-time, ensuring product viability while reducing manufacturing rework and scrap, will be presented at IPC APEX EXPO 2025

WILMINGTON, Del., March 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Cybord, the leading provider of advanced AI-powered electronic component analytics, today announced the launch of its Real-Time Interception (RTI) solution, an advanced visual AI-powered software that prevents defective components from being assembled onto Printed Circuit Board Assemblies (PCBAs) in real time. By identifying and discarding faulty components within milliseconds before placement, Cybord's RTI safeguards product quality, integrity, and compliance while significantly reducing manufacturing waste and costs. The solution, which is already integrated into Fuji's NXT III placing machines, is currently expanding to manufacturing lines globally.

Cybord's visual AI RTI solution provides manufacturers with an advanced defense mechanism at the component level. By meticulously analyzing the bottom view of each component in milliseconds, Cybord's RTI enables manufacturers to proactively mitigate risks and optimize operational efficiency. It provides:

• Instantaneous Detection and Rejection: The solution identifies every type of defect and discards defective or unauthorized components in real time before they are assembled onto electronic circuit boards, ensuring only top-quality and approved components are utilized.
• Seamless Manufacturing Integration: The flexible, drop-in software solution easily integrates into existing manufacturing lines to enhance quality control without disrupting production workflows.
• Data-Packed Insights: The platform provides manufacturers with crucial analytics and monitoring and ensures compliance with IPC standards.
• Value-Add for Machine Manufacturers: RTI allows machine manufacturers to empower their EMS customers with enhanced production efficiency and quality control by reducing rework and scrap. EMSs, in turn, prevent unnecessary revenue loss.

"From the start of the Fuji America-Cybord partnership, our team was extremely impressed by the capabilities offered by Cybord's RTI and we are thrilled to be the first to integrate this revolutionary solution," said Hirofumi Yoshimi, President of Fuji America Corporation. "Cybord's RTI aligns perfectly with our commitment to enhance quality and product integrity. By integrating the most advanced AI technology into our machines, Fuji ensures that only quality components make it onto boards. In doing so we provide customers with an unprecedented level of reliability and efficiency."

"Manufacturers can no longer afford to take risks when it comes to product reliability, and it starts at the component level," said Oshri Cohen, CEO of Cybord. "The lack of visibility into component integrity is costing manufacturers time, money, and customer trust. Cybord's AI-powered RTI solution changes the game. For the first time, manufacturers can see and analyze every single component in real time—and now, they can act. RTI surgically detects and eliminates defected or unauthorized components before they are placed on the PCB, preventing failures before they happen and delivering unmatched reliability, security, and efficiency."

Electronic components are the foundation of modern technology, powering everything from cellphones to data centers to vehicles and airplanes. Yet, the vital task of ensuring their reliability has often been overlooked, leading to costly rework and scrap rates for manufacturers and a host of defective products with wide-reaching impact — as exemplified by the high number of automotive recalls or Boeing's infamous streak of problems, the likes of which majorly erode brand trust. To mitigate these risks and ensure product reliability, Cybord has introduced its AI-driven solution enabling Electronics Manufacturing Service providers (EMSs) and Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) to ensure electronic component health and security.

The RTI solution builds on Cybord's successful Quality Component Inspection (QCI) and Traceability Component Inspection (TCI) offerings, addressing a critical need voiced by manufacturers: the ability to prevent faulty components from penetrating the assembly line rather than detecting them post-assembly. The RTI solution has already driven high demand from leading industry players and is currently integrated in Fuji America's pick-and-place machines.

Powered by a database of nearly five billion components and counting, Cybord utilizes deep learning and AI algorithms to advance the next generation of AI in electronics manufacturing. During placement on the assembly line, the visual AI solution prevents defective, damaged, and counterfeit components from being assembled onto PCBA in real time with 99.9% accuracy. Cybord currently works with industry leaders including Fuji America, Siemens, and Flex.

Cybord's paper, "A Method for Real-Time Rejection of Defective Components During the Pick and Place Process Using AI Technology," authored by Dr. Eyal Weiss, Cybord CTO and Founder, was selected a Best of Conference winner for the Technical Conference at IPC APEX EXPO 2025. This award is a result of Cybord's dedication and excellence in contribution to the advancement of the electronics manufacturing industry.

Cybord's RTI solution will be presented in collaboration with Fuji America at IPC APEX Expo 2025 in Anaheim California from March 18-20 at booth #2134. View RTI in action here and for more information, visit https://cybord.ai/.
