JarnisTech's Smart Factory Revolutionizes PCB Inspection
Chongqing, Tuesday, 1 April 2025.
JarnisTech’s new factory in Chongqing boosts PCB inspection efficiency by 600% using advanced AOI technology, setting a new standard in electronics manufacturing.
Breakthrough in Automated Inspection Technology
The newly launched facility, which commenced operations on March 30, 2025, represents a significant advancement in PCB manufacturing technology. The smart factory’s state-of-the-art 25-micron resolution 2D camera systems can process an impressive 1,800 boards per hour per unit, while requiring only a single operator [1]. The proprietary AOI technology examines more than 2,000 detection points on each board within 0.2 seconds, achieving remarkable yield rates of 99.98% even for complex 72-layer backplanes [1][2].
Operational Efficiency and Cost Optimization
The economic impact of this technological leap is substantial. With a streamlined workforce of 300 employees - 68% fewer personnel than traditional PCB factories - the facility achieves an annual output of $214 million [1]. This efficiency extends to delivery capabilities, with the plant maintaining 48-hour rush order fulfillment while reducing average delivery cycles to 72 hours [2]. According to Production Director Xu, ‘Where traditional PCB plants struggle with labor-intensive quality checks, our closed-loop automation ensures military-grade precision at commercial production speeds’ [1].
Quality Assurance and Industry Recognition
The facility’s commitment to quality is evidenced by its 18 international certifications, including the prestigious IPC Class 3 and IATF16949 standards [1]. This comprehensive certification portfolio has secured JarnisTech’s position as a preferred supplier for numerous Fortune 500 technology vendors [2]. The factory’s dedicated R&D center is pushing boundaries in specialty circuit board innovation, developing cutting-edge products such as 100Gbps transmission backplanes and aerospace-grade circuits capable of withstanding extreme temperatures of 300°C [1].
Market Impact and Future Implications
The strategic impact of this automation extends beyond operational metrics. As highlighted by JarnisTech’s CTO, clients are reporting margin improvements of 12-15% through these engineered solutions [1]. The facility’s capabilities align with the growing demand for 5G-A and AI server components [2], positioning JarnisTech at the forefront of the industry’s technological evolution. The plant’s innovative approach to PCB manufacturing demonstrates how automation can transform traditional cost centers into technical differentiators [1].
