As 2024 comes to a close, Parmi and Accelonix celebrate a landmark year in the UK market for 3D Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) systems. With record-breaking sales, repeated victories in competitive trials, and cutting-edge AI programming, we’ve solidified our reputation as a trusted provider of innovative inspection solutions for the electronics manufacturing industry.
Unparalleled Success in the UK AOI Market
Since our first UK installation in 2020, Parmi has rapidly established itself as a rising star in the highly competitive market for AOI systems. While established players have dominated this space for years, Parmi’s unique combination of advanced 3D technology, superior detection capabilities, and AI-driven programming has set a new benchmark.
2024 has been a particularly remarkable year, with several key milestones:
- Record system sales in the UK.
- Successful completion of high-stakes corporate trials.
- Growing adoption of our AI programming software, enhancing production efficiency for our customers.
Why Manufacturers Choose Parmi: Key Advantages
This summer marked a turning point for Parmi in the UK market, as we competed in extensive onsite trials against two leading competitors in the Midlands. These rigorous evaluations highlighted the standout features of our 3D AOI systems:
- Ease of Programming
Parmi systems are significantly faster and easier to program compared to competitors, reducing downtime and improving overall productivity. - Superior Detection with Low False Call Rates
Our technology achieves unmatched detection capabilities while maintaining the lowest false call rates, ensuring reliable quality control without unnecessary production delays.
The results spoke for themselves: our customer selected Parmi as the ideal solution for their production needs, installing the first of many systems expected in the coming years.
A Proven Track Record of Winning Corporate Trials
Parmi’s success extended beyond these summer trials. Another key project involved a corporate evaluation against one of our largest competitors.
The results once again validated our system’s technical superiority:
- Enhanced detection capabilities
- Lower false call rates
- Superior image quality from our 3D measurement system
- Better CPK (Process Capability) measurements and full foreign material detection across the entire board area
Even without deploying our advanced AI programming technology, Parmi demonstrated the ability to create efficient, high-quality programs. This decisive performance led to an order for three additional systems.
In the words of Tony Wood, Accelonix Sales Director, “This is a remarkable piece of equipment. Having spent nearly 20 years working as an engineer within automated optical inspection in the UK and Europe, I can attest that Parmi has made excellent advancements in inspection capabilities and programming methods. I never thought AOI systems would achieve such impressive results, which is a testament to Parmi’s hard work and dedication.”
The Future of AI-Powered AOI Systems in the UK
Although Parmi is relatively new to the UK market, our legacy in 3D AOI systems spans over 26 years. Founded in Korea in 1998, Parmi has built a strong reputation across Asia and Europe. Since partnering with Accelonix, our growth in the UK has been nothing short of meteoric.
Our AI programming solutions have played a significant role in this success, enabling manufacturers to:
- Reduce programming time.
- Enhance process accuracy.
- Improve overall production efficiency.
With these capabilities, Parmi is poised to become a leader in the UK AOI market, offering unparalleled performance and reliability to its customers.
