Cybord: Electronic Component Traceability

By Zoya Hasan - 04 Oct, 2022 - Comments: 4

Counterfeit electronics is a multibillion-dollar industry worldwide. The challenge is finding them, and this is where Israeli startup Cybord is working to gain a foothold. The company has developed an AI-driven solution that checks for counterfeit parts during product assembly. “It's a huge task to check electronic components, said Cybord CEO Zeev Efrat. "It's not capacitors only, or resis... » read more

Combating Counterfeit Semiconductors In The Military Supply Chain
