CHALLENGES
- Client operates 10 AVI lines with ~$2M invested in Visual Inspection qualification kits
- Faced long vendor lead times and non-viable particles impacting inspection reliability
- Client shifted strategy to procuring calibrated particles for in-house kit preparation
- Bulk particle supply from their German vendor led to ~50% yield loss during seeding, making the in-house strategy ineffective
OUR PROCESS
- Client Evaluation : Multiple trials were conducted on our calibrated particle defect samples
- Technical Breakthrough : We supplied particles mounted on individual slides , ensuring 100% yield and eliminating process loss
OUTCOME
- Client placed an order for 1,350 calibrated particles delivered by end-2024
- Standardization discussions underway to extend our Visual Inspection Qualification kits across all of client’s Asia-Pacific plants
