A Deep Dive into Innovations in Electronics Manufacturing with Matric Group's Patrick Stimpert

EMS@C-LEVEL · 1 Nov 2023 · 13m

What this episode covers

Patrick Stimpert, VP of Operations at Matric Group, explains his strategy of replacing manual visual inspection with pre- and post-reflow AOI and SPI from Koh Young to maximize data extraction and automation. He details how Matric pioneered pre-reflow inspection on all boards, a move that reduced rework and allowed a small team to manage multiple machines via Koh Young's K-Smart technology. Stimpert highlights how this approach, combined with industrial management techniques from his Toyota background, enabled the company to grow revenue while keeping headcount flat despite regional labor shortages.

    Starting Small With AI and Emerging Manufacturing Technology w/ Jarred Knecht

    Jarred Knecht, founder of AI quality inspection software KonnectAi and president of ProEV and ECI, explains how his family’s wire harness business evolved from industrial sectors to EV and defense markets. He details the development of KonnectAi, an AI-powered visual inspection tool designed to replace the irreplaceable institutional knowledge of veteran inspectors like 'Joe' without adding cost or complexity. Knecht discusses the challenges of implementing technology in traditional manufacturing, emphasizing a 'baby steps' approach to workforce adoption and the strategic value of AI in business development and talent retention.

    PCB Metrology Gap: How SCAN Labs Is Automating Microsectioning

    Geoffrey Leeds, founder of SCAN Labs, explains the 'metrology gap' between semiconductor and PCB industries, detailing how his company automates microsectioning to provide high-fidelity data for high-reliability sectors. He describes a serialized grinding and imaging system that produces analyzed IPC coupons every six minutes, generating 3D digital twins and spatial analytics to replace manual, operator-dependent processes. The conversation highlights the labor shortage in skilled metrology, the limitations of non-destructive X-ray inspection, and the potential to feed standardized as-built data back into design tools like Altium and SolidWorks.

    How to Prioritize Flexibility when You Invest in Automation, Ep #4

    Tom Schroeder, Executive Vice President at PBC Linear, explains how the company replaced an aging Hitachi Seiki flexible manufacturing system (FMS) with a new MCM system to prioritize flexibility and solve high-mix, low-volume production challenges. He details the transition from rigid, machine-specific tooling to a centralized shuttle system with RFID-tracked tools, which reduced cycle times by 40% and eliminated the need for duplicate tooling. Schroeder emphasizes a 'failing forward' approach to automation, citing lessons learned from chip evacuation and drilling issues, and argues that automation creates jobs by automating non-value-added tasks rather than reducing headcount.

    The $5 Automation Project Hiding in Your Shop | Ep. 50

    Uriel Eisen, founder of Arda and Austere Manufacturing, explains how he doubled throughput in his 325-square-foot shop by implementing Kanban and lean principles rather than buying robots. He details the transition from index cards to his software platform, Arda, to solve inventory stockouts that were derailing production. Eisen discusses the hidden costs of micro-interruptions, the importance of reliability over cycle time, and how reducing friction in processes like tooling and ordering yields faster ROI than expensive automation.
