Every board tells the truth.
Most test benches can't hear it.
A returned LRU sits on your bench: intermittent fault, no fault found, three trips through test, $40K of touch time, and it was a cold solder joint the whole time. NetRay builds AI that reads boards, test logs, and forty years of repair history the way your best tech reads a schematic, and it runs entirely inside your facility, because we know what industry you're in.
Your best diagnostician retires in three years. His memory doesn't have an export.
Defense electronics runs on tribal knowledge: which failure signatures mean rework vs. scrap, which supplier's date codes to distrust, which “passed” test result is lying. That knowledge lives in a few heads and a mountain of unsearchable repair records. When the heads retire, the mountain stays, mute. A model fine-tuned on that mountain, running inside your fence, is the only retirement plan that scales.
Six ways AI earns its place on the bench
Every one of these runs inside your facility. None of them phone home.
AI-assisted PCB diagnosis & repair
PCBSpot deployed on your benches: root cause 4.2x faster, repair-history retrieval per failure signature.
NFF reduction program
Correlate test-stand logs, environment data, and field returns to catch the intermittents the bench misses.
Fine-tuned repair-knowledge model
Continued-pretraining on decades of repair records and tech manuals. Techs query in plain language; the model cites the 1998 case that matches.
DMSMS & obsolescence intelligence
Agents watch BOMs against EOL notices and draft alternates with form-fit-function rationale for engineering review.
Counterfeit & supply-chain screening
Incoming inspection assist: date-code anomalies, supplier risk signals, and documentation cross-checks before parts hit stores.
CMMC evidence machine
Agents assemble and maintain the 800-171 evidence trail as a byproduct of doing the work, not a fire drill before the audit.
Test data, repair records, tech manuals, none of it should commute.
What are you holding?
This data doesn't commute. Bring the machine to it.
Every grade you selected is restricted from commercial cloud. The model, the fine-tuning run, and every query stay inside your perimeter. Correct. That's why PCBSpot has never made an external call.
Illustrative. Your compliance officer outranks this widget, bring them to the assessment.
“Our NFF rate dropped 73% in the first quarter. We stopped shipping boards back that weren't actually broken, and none of the diagnosis data ever left our facility.”
