## Summary

Julie Cliche-Dubois of Cogiscan and Ivan of Koh Young discuss their collaboration to integrate inspection data with broader manufacturing systems. They explain how using the CFX standard allows Cogiscan to connect Koh Young’s equipment with other SMT line machinery, turning raw data into actionable KPIs for MES and ERP integration. The partners emphasize that this open, vendor-neutral approach solves the complexity of custom integrations and provides customers with full-line visibility and traceability.
