BENGALURU, India, Nov. 11, 2020 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

    Global, a global product engineering and lifecycle services company, today

announced the availability of its GUI based Smart Defect Inspection (SDI)

[https://www.quest-global.com/services-solutions/digital-transformation/smart-defect-inspection/ ] application powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI). The application, designed

for high-precision manufacturing companies like semiconductor chip

manufacturers, will enable real-time defect inspection & diagnosis, product

quality inspections, and prognosis and ensure optimal equipment usage.

    The platform-agnostic SDI application is built with Deep Learning (DL)

technology for intelligent defect inspection and it can enable self-learning

abilities for smarter decision making. The application aims to resolve three

critical challenges for manufacturers – low yield/throughput, sub-optimal

utilization of expensive equipment, and the health hazards faced by human

inspectors. The SDI application [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-PGCbL9Ilh8 ]

also ensures maximum ROI from expensive equipment by targeting an ideal uptime

of round the clock operations.

    The company has successfully implemented the application as a Proof of

Concept [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGDoTTmnEpw ] to a couple of

semiconductor equipment OEMs. The application can help OEMs in detecting

defects from Scanning Electron Microscope and optical inspection images, and

classifying semiconductor wafer defects to reduce overkill by up to 30%, giving

attention to underkill from conventional computer vision techniques. This

all-in-one, real-time detection system with deep learning & edge computing is

also compatible with existing image capturing devices, and offers enhanced

decision-making capabilities using Deep Learning algorithms.

    Elaborating further on its significance and value it will provide to the manufacturing

industry, Piyush Jain [https://www.quest-global.com/leadership/piyush-jain/ ], Vice

President & Head of Delivery - APAC, QuEST Global, said, "We are delighted to make

our new Smart Defect Inspection application available to the OEMs in the high precision

manufacturing industry. Designed to empower human inspectors for automating

inspection with a simple and intuitive GUI, the application can help OEMs

increase yield and aims to improve Overall Equipment Effectiveness - the gold

standard for measuring manufacturing productivity. Along with business benefits

to the OEMs, the SDI application also aims to reduce visual stress of the human

inspectors, keeping health hazards at bay and improving their overall health."
