Integration of AOI Systems in Danfoss Production

This document is a case study detailing the integration of Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) systems by Danfoss to enhance production quality. Danfoss, a multinational company specializing in power electronics, faced challenges due to variability in production, necessitating a tailored test strategy. The case study outlines how Danfoss implemented AOI systems from GÖPEL electronic early in the production process to identify failures promptly, thereby minimizing rework and reducing troubleshooting costs. The decision criteria for selecting the AOI systems included high repeatability, maximum fault detection, seamless integration into the Manufacturing Execution System (MES), and future-proof technology. The collaboration with EP-TeQ A/S, a long-standing partner, facilitated the integration of these systems. The document further explains how the standardization of the AOI platform led to optimized test program generation, increased productivity, and consistent defect detection across various production stages, ensuring quality assurance in the manufacturing process.
