Development of an Image Processing Application for Element Detection in a Printed Circuit Board Manufacturing Cell.

Industrial automation in the manufacturing environment has revolutionized production and manufacturing in many industries, generating significant improvements in efficiency, quality, and process effectiveness. However, it has also posed challenges related to feedback in manufacturing environment monitoring systems, and increasing the effectiveness, productivity, and quality in industrial production. Feedback systems in the manufacturing environment are fundamental to industrial automation, which is why an application has been developed for the detection of elements in a printed circuit board manufacturing cell. The solution presented in this article proposes implementing a continuous feedback system with the ability to provide real-time information to identify the location of elements in a manufacturing cell and potentially detect anomalies, with the goal of improving the manufacturing process appropriately.
