AI process recipes for camera modules
LG Innotek said AI shortened camera-module recipe searches from at least 72 hours to within 6 hours
Problem
Low initial yields required repeated recipe changes and trial production. Delays increased failure costs and threatened delivery schedules.
Approach
LG Innotek began developing defect-prediction AI in 2021 and applied its recipe system to high-specification camera modules in 2023. The system predicted troublesome process steps and simulated operating conditions to identify recipes with fewer defects.
Results
Takeaway
The reported defect reduction concerned selected inspection categories, rather than the overall factory defect rate.
