It also standardizes engineering workflows and outputs to enable fast operator onboarding and time to market, as well as consistently high-quality reports and outputs, regardless of engineer experience.

Frontline InShop®

CAM-Based Data Analytics Using Machine Learning and AI

Frontline InShop® is a CAM-based analytics solution that enables ICS and PCB manufacturers to transform untapped production line and inspection equipment data into actionable insights using machine learning and artificial intelligence. With its visual analytics, Frontline InShop seamlessly connects to multiple machines and vendors to merge cross-departmental data from sources like testing and automated optical inspection (AOI) to flag issues at the source and correlate production data to the end product – delivering contextual awareness for effective problem-solving. This shortens new product introductions and time to market, increases yield and reduces total cost of ownership. Enabled by KLA’s vast experience in semiconductors, ICS front-end manufacturing processes and CAM reference technology, Frontline InShop offers fully scalable big data infrastructure.

Frontline InSight® PCB

Web-Based Pre-CAM Solution

The Frontline InSight® PCB solution is a web-based tool for managing and accessing incoming customer PCB data for non-CAM experts from virtually anywhere. From automatically retrieving comprehensive product information to generating precise summary reports, Frontline InSight PCB enables sales and engineering professionals to work more independently, efficiently and profitably. The results include faster and more accurate quoting and product engineering, complete CAM data in minutes, early detection of manufacturing problems and increased throughput. Frontline InSight PCB assesses customer PCB data, retrieves product information for sales and engineering and delivers a PDF report presenting the entire data set for the job in just seconds.

Frontline Cloud Services

Cloud-Based Design-for-Manufacturability Analysis

Frontline Cloud Services is a software as a service (SaaS) solution for PCB manufacturers that combines Frontline’s proven PCB CAM and design-for-manufacturability (DFM) analysis technologies with the powerful calculation capabilities of highly secure cloud computing to accelerate production, cut costs and simplify infrastructure management. The solution harnesses the virtually infinite capacity of the cloud to address emerging trends and increasing PCB design size and complexity, such as higher processing power and memory demands for 5G and LED, parallel processing limits on computer effectiveness and growing demand for artificial intelligence to optimize DFM analysis.
