Avionics & Electronic Assembly Inspection
AI-powered inspection for PCB assemblies, cable harnesses, and connector assemblies in flight-critical avionics and defense electronics.
What It Is
Avionics and defense electronics are the nervous system of every aircraft, missile, and weapons platform. From flight computers and radar systems to communication units and targeting pods, every PCB assembly, cable harness, and connector termination must be verified to aerospace-grade standards. A single solder defect, crossed wire, or loose pin can cause a mission-critical system failure.
Why It's Hard
- •Dense component placement: modern avionics PCBs pack hundreds of components in tight spaces, each requiring verification
- •Solder joint variability: acceptable joints range from shiny to matte, making rules-based inspection unreliable
- •Cable harness routing: verifying correct wire routing, tie-down positions, and connector termination across complex harness assemblies
- •Classified environments: defense electronics images are often classified or export-controlled, prohibiting any cloud processing
How Overview Solves It
PCBA inspection: Detect missing/wrong components, solder bridges, cold joints, and tombstoning across dense boards at production speed.
Cable harness verification: Confirm correct wire routing, connector termination sequence, and tie-down placement against the build drawing.
Conformal coating verification: Check coating coverage on PCBs, identifying holidays, bubbles, and bridging that could compromise environmental protection.
100% air-gapped capable: Overview runs entirely on the camera's local GPU, perfect for SCIFs and classified production environments with no network access.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can Overview work in an air-gapped environment?
Yes. Overview requires zero network connectivity to operate. The camera processes, stores, and displays results entirely on its local NVIDIA GPU and SSD. It's ideal for SCIFs and classified production areas.
Does it inspect both through-hole and SMT components?
Yes. The AI is trained on your specific board designs, both through-hole and surface-mount. It learns the acceptable appearance range for each component and joint type.
How does it handle different board revisions?
You can train separate models for each board revision and switch between them in the browser. When a new revision drops, retrain with new reference images, typically done in under an hour.
