Factory Automation: From Control to Intelligence
Factory automation is often described as the replacement of manual work by machines. In reality, its role is far broader. Automation is about designing machines, software, and system architectures that deliver precision, repeatability, traceability, and performance at industrial scale. It enables complex production systems to operate reliably, predictably, and efficiently across thousands or millions of […]
Automated Optical Inspection (AOI): Market Overview and R2D Positioning
Definition In the semiconductor industry, Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) refers to optical inspection systems used to detect defects, pattern deviations, contamination, and process-induced anomalies on wafers, dies, and advanced packages throughout the manufacturing flow. AOI is deployed at multiple critical steps including front-end wafer processing (lithography, etching, CMP), wafer sort, and back-end processes such as […]
