AOI Machines for PCB Assembly
DaoAI makes offline 2D (P1, P1L, P2), inline 2D (P3, P3D), inline 3D (P5, P5D, available for delivery now) and through-hole (A3, pre- and post-wave) AOI machines. Every model programs itself from one golden board in 30 seconds to 5 minutes, with no CAD, Gerber, centroid file or component library. All AI runs on-premise on the machine, and sales and engineering support comes from our North American team in Vancouver.

AOI machine questions
Which DaoAI AOI models can be programmed without CAD data?
All of them. Every DaoAI model uses the same golden-board AI auto-programming, so no CAD, Gerber, centroid file or component library is needed.
Is DaoAI's inline 3D AOI available now?
Yes. The P5 (single track) and P5D (dual track) inline 3D AOI machines are available for delivery now.
What's the difference between offline and inline AOI?
Offline AOI sits beside the line and boards are loaded by hand, which suits prototypes, NPI and high-mix work. Inline AOI sits in the SMT line on a conveyor and inspects every board automatically.
Can one machine inspect through-hole pre- and post-wave?
Yes. The A3 straddles the existing line and inspects through-hole assemblies both before and after wave or selective soldering.
Does inspection data leave our factory?
No. All AI runs on-premise on the machine, with no cloud connection required, so inspection images and data stay in your plant.
Who supports DaoAI machines in North America?
The DaoAI sales and engineering team in Vancouver, together with authorized partners. See our partner program or contact us below.
How much does a DaoAI AOI cost?
It depends on the model and configuration. Request a quote and we will price the setup that fits your line.
