What Does AOI Stand For?
AOI stands for Automatic Optical Inspection
Automatic Optical Inspection (AOI) is a machine vision technology used in manufacturing and quality control processes to automatically detect defects in assembled printed circuit boards (PCBs) and other electronic components. Utilizing advanced imaging techniques and algorithms, AOI systems capture high-resolution images of products and analyze them for conformity to specified design criteria, ensuring that any irregularities—such as incorrect placements, missing components, or soldering defects—are identified and addressed early in the production process. AOI enhances efficiency, reduces costs, and improves product reliability by facilitating prompt feedback and corrective actions.
