KSMART Integrated Technology Solution comprehensive productivity and process control center includes KSMART Remote Monitoring System (RMS), KSMART Link, and others. Comprises an easy-to-use, powerful integrated toolbox enabling real-time analysis of defects from 3D inspection data. Suggests "copy exact" for multiple production lines and even different sites. KSMART RMS software communicates inspection machine status, production line yield information, and real-time defect information from all Koh Young SPI and AOI machines in multiple production lines. Tracks root causes of defect issues and applies changes to inspection programs in real-time.

Precision Metering Pump for conformal coating applications controls liquid flow rate through piston in the pump cylinder, preventing flow rate drift due to viscosity changes. Novel software tracks the exact amount of coating used for each coating recipe and stores the data in a log file. Is said to overcome limitations of traditional pressurized liquid delivery systems associated with liquid viscosity changes due to changing ambient conditions.

IntelliText OCR is for AutoVision 3.0 software. Has optical character recognition functionality. Is for reading characters on products in automated identification, tracking, and inspection applications. Can convert human-readable characters into machine-readable characters. Reportedly can be adjusted to recognize characters regardless of marking or printing method. Is capable of reading text printed by inkjet, drop on demand, direct part marking, and more. Can train on character variations and store them in a font library. Advanced character segmentation allows the software to parse characters regardless of uniformity or precision of the print region. Offers image preprocessing. Includes image binarization process that converts grayscale image to a binary image. Supports string matching.
