Ex-Apple engineers aim to help U.S. hardware makers troubleshoot from home
(Reuters) - For years, hardware engineers at American consumer electronics firms have hopped on a flight to China to iron out manufacturing kinks on assembly lines, but the COVID-19 pandemic and Sino-U.S. tensions have made travel between the countries difficult.
A startup founded by ex-Apple Inc engineers, however, has come up with a system that would help engineers troubleshoot remotely.
California-based Instrumental Inc, co-founded by Anna-Katrina Shedletsky and Sam Weiss, has created a system that relies on outfitting manufacturing lines with cameras and then analyzing the images using artificial intelligence software.
