In IC substrate manufacturing, even a small number of false positives from Automated Visual Inspection (AVI) can lead to unnecessary re-inspection, slowing output and tying up valuable manpower. To address this, a leading semiconductor packaging manufacturer implemented an AI-driven secondary inspection system powered by the ASRock Industrial iEPF-9030S Series and PEGATRON’s PEGAAi platform. The system automatically filters out non-defective units in real time, reducing manual re-inspection workload by up to 70% and freeing operators for higher-value tasks. Precision defect classification has improved inspection accuracy, stabilized yield, and ensured consistent quality across production lines. Scalable by design, PegaAi has been rolled out to more than 400 stations in 13 factories worldwide, creating a unified, AI-enabled quality control process that enhances productivity and accelerates smart manufacturing at scale
