What is Automated Optical Inspection for Manufacturing?

Automated optical inspection brings next-generation machine learning technology to the factory floor by combining AI, computer vision, robotics, and microscopy to identify flaws and anomalies in the precision manufacturing process. Nanotronics’ flagship product, nSpec®, uses hardware and software solutions to synthesize human ingenuity with automated microscopy to produce high-quality results, increasing yields for customers and eliminating laborious manual inspection procedures. Using nSpec® TURBO, our customers can design an individualized template for sample inspection, enabling them to set specific parameters and produce chips tailored to desired output. nSpec®’s iterative functionality allows users to identify, classify, and assign causality to features of interest. When alerted to defects or errors in process, operators know precisely where to adjust parameters.

Advantages of Automated Optical Inspection and AI for Manufacturing

Automated optical inspection provides manufacturers with customizability and flexibility along with reliable, highly repeatable results. AOI accelerates the quality control process while improving decision making and providing predictable maintenance, allowing operators to anticipate defects and expedite the fabrication process.

Common Industry Challenges

High volume manufacturing is often subject to precision errors including human limitations, blind spots, and static process control, which often go undetected or unreported. Nanotronics’ AOI tools provide actionable data which allows users to identify, classify, and define causality to features of interest which prevents flaws from propagating and quickly addresses process yields that harm production.
