Core Technology

Explore how our technologies address specific defect types and operational challenges.
Color inspection

Defect Detection Using Color and Texture Differences

Color imaging reveals differences in color and surface characteristics that are difficult to distinguish in monochrome images, improving defect identification and making visual review easier for operators.

Specialized Optics

UV, IR, and Dent Specialized Optical Technologies

Depending on the defect type, UV, IR, and specialized optics for dent inspection help detect defects that are difficult to identify under conventional illumination, including DFR residue, open/short defects beneath solder resist (SR), and dents.

AI Inspection

AI Inspection That Complements Rule-Based Inspection

AI inspection targets irregular defects in critical areas that are difficult to detect using conventional rule-based inspection, helping reduce detection blind spots.

Inspection Area Configuration

CAD-Based Segmentation and Inspection Parameter Setup

Using ODB++, Gerber, and Golden Board data, the system generates inspection regions and supports detailed segmentation and inspection parameter settings for areas such as Bump, Metal, SR, Pattern, and Via.

IVS

Defect Image-Based Review and Assessment

IVS uses defect images captured by AVI to classify and measure defects, review potential false positives, and support final OK/NG decisions.

ICS

Precision Verification with All-in-Focus Imaging

High-magnification All-in-Focus images generated from multiple focal planes, together with Pseudo 3D View, enable detailed re-examination of defects that are difficult to assess.

Pixel Master

Centralized Recipe Management and Deployment Across Equipment

Using CAM data, NAS, and databases, Pixel Master centrally manages inspection recipes, supports deployment across inspection systems for the same product model and recipe reuse for similar models, and reduces equipment-specific tuning time.

Data Master

Integrated Management of Inspection Data and Defect Information

Data Master centrally consolidates defect assessment results, inspection specification status, defect occurrence trends, and statistical data across inspection systems, helping users monitor inspection status and quality trends.

Inspection, Verification, and AI in the PIXEL Operating System

PIXEL's integrated architecture brings together inspection equipment, Verify, AI, and the recipe platform into a unified system.
