TEL AVIV, Israel, Sept. 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Cybord, a leading provider of advanced visual-AI electronic component analytics solutions, today announced the launch of its fully air-gapped platform, bringing advanced Visual AI inspection and traceability capabilities fully on-premises. The new air-gapped platform enables organizations with restricted or closed networks such as those in aviation, aerospace, and defense, to enforce product integrity without opening them up to cloud environments. It is currently being integrated with Siemens’ leading Opcenter Execution Electronics.
Closing the Visibility Gap in Electronics Assembly
Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) face a persistent challenge: once a printed circuit board leaves design and enters production, visibility is largely lost. OEMs often operate in a “black box,” relying on reported data from their contract manufacturers or occasional audits. This lack of transparency exposes companies to risks of counterfeit parts, tampering, quality escapes, and hardware cybersecurity vulnerabilities. Even products that pass functional testing may contain unauthorized, aged, or defective components, leading to field failures and costly recalls.
Cybord’s Visual AI technology addresses these issues by turning every component and assembly step into verifiable, visual data. However, until now, organizations unable to connect to the cloud were limited in adopting such an advanced inspection tool.
“Cloud-connected systems can be powerful, but they also introduce new attack surfaces and compliance hurdles. By deploying inspection and traceability fully on-premises, manufacturers gain the confidence that their data never leaves their secure environment, while ensuring that no counterfeit, defective, or tampered part slips through,” said Alon Ben Mordechai, Cyber Defense Advisor at the Israeli Ministry of Defense.
“We are proud to be the first to integrate Cybord’s air-gapped solution with Opcenter Execution Electronics,” said Yuval Polishuk, Product Manager AI Solutions, Digital manufacturing, Siemens Digital Industries Software. “It seamlessly enriches our Opcenter software with deep quality data from visual-AI inspection of every component, allowing us to catch and react on defects that traditional methods simply can’t. In addition, component data is validated against traceability and AVL ensuring robust compliance.”
“With our new air-gapped solution, organizations in restricted environments can, for the first time, access advanced inspection and traceability,” said Oshri Cohen, CEO of Cybord. “This ensures every component, assembly, and board meets the highest standards of integrity, strengthening security for industries like aerospace, automotive, defense, and data centers.”
Now Available Air-Gapped – Security Without Compromise
Cybord’s advanced Visual AI software delivers zero impact integration, using existing AOI and SMT equipment. The solution inspects 100% of components, top and bottom, during the SMT process, ensuring:
- Enforcement of Bill of Materials (BOM) and Approved Vendor Lists (AVL) in real time
- Authentication of every component by manufacturer, lot code, date code, and country of origin
- Micro-traceability, down to individual boards and components
- Detection of defects and anomalies, such as bent leads, cracks, foreign objects, or tampering
The new air-gapped version of Cybord’s platform brings the full feature set on-premises, ensuring that even highly restricted environments can benefit from bottom-side inspection for defects and tamper detection; top-side verification for AVL enforcement and traceability; and full PCBA BOM validation for hardware security and integrity.
This makes Cybord’s platform a powerful fit for industries where data sovereignty and cybersecurity restrictions prevent external connectivity.
Benefits for Manufacturers and OEMs
The new platform gives restricted organizations the same advantages as cloud-enabled manufacturers – without external connectivity:
- Full transparency into suppliers, manufacturing lines, and component sourcing
- Significant reduction in field failures, recalls, and warranty claims
- Hardware cybersecurity protection against tampering, counterfeit parts, or rogue substitutions
- Assurance of compliance and process completion without altering PCBA design
- On-site repository with data on every component used in the manufacturing process
Industry Availability
The air-gapped solution is currently in beta testing with select customers and will be generally available in Q4, 2025.
