Oct 23, 2023 Koh Young Technology proudly releases another customer success story with Matric Group. This case study shows how Matric Group has leveraged their partnership with Koh Young to be one of the first in the industry to use pre-reflow AOI as a game-changer for line efficiency and improved yield. All while creating a central inspection war room to allow just one person to manage all inline inspection, increasing automation, and control and mitigating talent shortages.
Matric Group’s Vice President of Operations, Patrick Stimpert came out of Toyota production and understands that no good comes from touching product twice, or from having to rework product. He came to Matric Group more than five years ago and took a fresh look at the way their production operates. In this case study, you can read how Patrick added pre-reflow AOI to every line and how that immediately improved yield, quality, and efficiency. Learn how he and Koh Young managed to reduce the number of technicians managing their inspection processes to one. And learn how they created a long-term partnership where ideas are shared, and new groundbreaking solutions are created.
In the case study Matric Group President and CEO Richard Turner, along with Vice President Bradley Turner explain what the partnership with Koh Young has done for the business how important this level of equipment is to their customers, and how automation has allowed them to double in size without increasing their headcount in an area where the talent pool simple isn’t growing.
