Fortifying the future: Cybord’s Air-Gapped Visual AI integrates with Siemens Opcenter for unprecedented electronics security

In today’s complex global supply chain, ensuring the integrity and security of electronic components is paramount. Industries from aviation and aerospace to defense face unique challenges, demanding not just robust security but also absolute data sovereignty.

We are thrilled to announce a groundbreaking step forward in this arena: the launch of Cybord’s first air-gapped Visual AI platform, now seamlessly integrated with Siemens Opcenter Execution Electronics.

This collaboration marks a significant milestone, empowering manufacturers with an on-premises solution that redefines product integrity and hardware cybersecurity without compromising network security.

Unveiling Cybord’s Visual AI powerhouse: Beyond traditional inspection

Cybord’s platform is a game-changer for electronics manufacturing, leveraging advanced visual AI to provide an unparalleled level of inspection and traceability throughout the Surface Mount Technology (SMT) process.

Here’s how Cybord elevates your manufacturing process:

• 100% component inspection, top and bottom: Every component, from all angles, is meticulously inspected in real-time. This comprehensive visual-AI inspection enriches your Opcenter Execution Electronics (OC EX EL) solution with invaluable quality data, providing a complete picture of component integrity.
• Detecting the undetectable: Cybord’s advanced visual-AI goes beyond traditional inspection methods, identifying subtle defects and anomalies that would otherwise go unnoticed. This proactive detection prevents costly downstream failures and ensures higher product quality.
• Comprehensive component authentication: Verify manufacturer, lot code, date code, and country of origin for every single part.
• Micro-traceability: Gain granular insight down to individual boards, providing an immutable record of every component.
• Hardware cybersecurity: Proactively detect counterfeit parts, tampering, and potential hardware vulnerabilities before they become critical issues.

This level of scrutiny significantly reduces field failures, mitigates recall risks, and builds an unshakeable foundation of trust in your products.

Seamless integration with Siemens Opcenter Execution Electronics: A new era of control

The true power of this announcement lies in the seamless integration of Cybord’s Air-Gapped solution with Siemens Opcenter Execution Electronics. Siemens Opcenter is a leading Manufacturing Execution System (MES) that optimizes production processes, enhances quality, and drives efficiency.

By bringing Cybord’s Visual AI insights directly into the Opcenter environment, manufacturers gain:

• Effortless on-premise integration: Seamlessly integrate Cybord on-prem into your existing OC EX EL solution, allowing you to leverage its powerful capabilities without disrupting your current workflows or IT infrastructure.
• Data-Driven Quality Enhancement: Enrich Opcenter Execution Electronics with quality data based on Visual-AI inspection for top and bottom components, providing your MES with real-time, highly accurate information to make smarter decisions and improve overall product quality.
• Unwavering traceability and compliance: Ensure unwavering traceability and compliance by comparing component marking data with traceability logs and/or an Approved Vendor List (AVL). This automated verification process strengthens your supply chain integrity and simplifies regulatory audits.

This integration empowers manufacturers to achieve unparalleled security and integrity, particularly in industries where data sovereignty is paramount. It’s a testament to our commitment to providing comprehensive, future-proof solutions that address the evolving challenges of electronics manufacturing.

Looking ahead

The general availability of Cybord’s Air-Gapped solution, integrated with Siemens Opcenter Execution Electronics, is anticipated in Q4 2025. This collaboration represents a significant leap forward in addressing the critical challenges of product integrity and robust cybersecurity in the complex and high-stakes world of electronics manufacturing.

We are excited about the possibilities this brings for our customers, enabling them to build with greater confidence, security, and efficiency.
