Cybord, a leader in advanced visual-AI solutions for electronic component analytics, has unveiled its new air-gapped platform, designed to provide fully on-premises inspection and traceability capabilities. This latest innovation enables organizations operating in highly secure or restricted environments—such as aviation, aerospace, and defense—to maintain product integrity without relying on cloud connectivity. The platform is currently being integrated with Siemens’ Opcenter Execution Electronics, further strengthening manufacturing oversight.

Bridging the Visibility Gap in Electronics Manufacturing

Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) frequently face limited visibility once a printed circuit board (PCB) transitions from design to production. In many cases, manufacturers operate in a “black box,” relying solely on data from contract manufacturers or occasional audits. This lack of transparency increases the risk of counterfeit components, quality failures, tampering, and potential cybersecurity threats. Even boards that pass functional testing may include unauthorized, aged, or defective parts, which can lead to costly field failures or recalls.

Cybord’s Visual AI technology addresses these challenges by capturing verifiable visual data for every component and assembly stage. Previously, organizations that could not connect to the cloud were unable to leverage this advanced inspection capability.

Secure On-Premises Inspection

“While cloud-based systems offer significant advantages, they also create new attack vectors and compliance challenges,” said Alon Ben Mordechai, Cyber Defense Advisor at the Israeli Ministry of Defense. “Deploying inspection and traceability on-premises ensures that sensitive data remains fully secure, while guaranteeing that counterfeit or defective parts are identified before reaching the field.”

Yuval Polishuk, Product Manager for AI Solutions at Siemens Digital Industries Software, highlighted the platform’s integration with Opcenter: “Cybord’s air-gapped solution enriches Opcenter Execution Electronics with detailed quality data from visual-AI inspections. It allows manufacturers to detect defects that traditional methods often miss, while validating component data against traceability and Approved Vendor Lists (AVL) to maintain regulatory compliance.”

Oshri Cohen, CEO of Cybord, added, “Our air-gapped solution empowers organizations in restricted environments to access advanced inspection and traceability, ensuring that every component, assembly, and PCB meets rigorous standards of integrity. This strengthens security for critical industries such as aerospace, automotive, defense, and data centers.”

Key Features of Cybord’s Air-Gapped Platform

Cybord’s solution leverages existing AOI and SMT equipment to inspect all components during the manufacturing process, including top and bottom layers. Key capabilities include:

  • Real-time enforcement of Bill of Materials (BOM) and AVL
  • Authentication of components by manufacturer, lot code, date code, and origin
  • Micro-traceability down to individual boards and components
  • Detection of defects, bent leads, cracks, foreign objects, and tampering

The air-gapped version delivers full-featured on-premises inspection, making it ideal for environments with strict data sovereignty and cybersecurity requirements. Manufacturers gain bottom-side defect and tamper detection, top-side verification for AVL compliance, and comprehensive PCBA BOM validation.

Benefits for OEMs and Restricted Environments

The platform provides organizations with cloud-equivalent benefits while maintaining full operational security:

  • Complete transparency across suppliers, manufacturing lines, and components
  • Reduced risk of field failures, recalls, and warranty claims
  • Protection against counterfeit parts, tampering, or rogue substitutions
  • Assurance of process compliance without altering PCBA design
  • On-site repository with detailed component data for each manufacturing process

Cybord’s air-gapped Visual AI platform represents a significant step forward in electronics manufacturing, combining advanced inspection technology with robust cybersecurity and full traceability—without compromising sensitive data or operations.
