Defect detection

Defect detection is a crucial step in: 

  • reducing the number of defects and improve the quality of the final product;
  • minimizing the costs associated with defect correction, both in terms of resources and time;
  • improving product reliability by increasing customer satisfaction and market competitiveness.

Neural networks

A neural network is a machine learning program, or model, that makes decisions in a similar way to the human brain, using processes that mimic the way biological neurons work together to identify phenomena, weigh options and come to conclusions.
