The results of doctoral dissertation of M.Sc. (Tech.) Mika Liukkonen show that intelligent methods should be used in the electronics industry on a much larger scale than they are today. Several benefits can be achieved by using them.
Computationally intelligent methods provide an efficient way of analyzing large data sets and they can reveal mutual interactions which are otherwise difficult or impossible to find. As an example Liukkonen used data gained from the automated soldering process of Electronics 3K Factory.
The articles included in the dissertation are published in revered international scientific journals during the projects ELMO (Electronics production processes: Modeling and Optimization) and ETKO (Comprehensive Optimization of Electronics Production Chains), which are co-operation projects of University of Eastern Finland (former University of Kuopio) and Electronics 3K Factory.
M.Sc. (Tech.) Mika Liukkonen defended his doctoral dissertation ‘Intelligent Methods in the Electronics Industry – Quality Analysis of Automated Soldering’ on Friday 17th of December 2010 in the University of Eastern Finland. Professor Kauko Leiviskä from the University of Oulu acted as opponent and professor Yrjö Hiltunen from the University of Eastern Finland as custos.
