Automated Component Detection for Quality PCB Using YOLO Algorithm with IoT Real-Time Streaming on Raspberry Pi

This paper presents the development of an automated component detection system for quality control in Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) by integrating the YOLO object detection algorithm with Internet of Things (IoT) real-time streaming on a Raspberry Pi platform. The proposed system aims to address the challenges associated with traditional manual inspection methods, including time inefficiency, human error, and limited accuracy in detecting faulty components. The YOLO model, renowned for its high-speed and accurate object detection capabilities, was trained to identify various PCB components and deployed on a Raspberry Pi due to its affordability, portability, and low power consumption. To enable real-time remote monitoring and analysis, IoT capabilities were incorporated using the MQTT protocol, allowing seamless data transmission to remote servers or devices. The experimental results demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed system, achiev-ing an average detection accuracy of 95%, making it a reliable solution for real-time quality assurance in PCB manufacturing. The novelty of this study lies in the innovative integration of the YOLO algorithm with IoT technology on a cost-efficient platform, providing a scalable and practical solution for automating PCB inspection processes. This approach not only enhances inspection efficiency but also reduces operational costs, offering significant value to the electronics manufacturing industry. Future work will focus on scaling thesystem for broader applications and improving the detection capabilities for more complex PCB designs.
