  • AOI inspection equipment maker Precision Motion Optics is shifting from traditional optical sorting to AI-powered smart vision.
  • The company's subsidiary, Xianlian Technology, is experiencing a surge in orders for passive component inspection, prompting production expansion.
  • Precision Motion Optics anticipates significant growth this year due to strong order visibility in the second half and new product launches.

Precision Motion Optics (2070) is poised for significant growth this year, driven by a strategic shift towards AI-powered smart vision and a booming demand for passive component inspection.

The company is transitioning from traditional optical screening equipment to intelligent vision (AI + AOI).

โ€” Wu Chun-nanChairman of Precision Motion Optics, discussing the company's strategic shift.

Chairman Wu Chun-nan highlighted the company's transition from traditional optical screening equipment to intelligent vision systems. He noted that its subsidiary, Xianlian Technology, has seen its orders for passive component inspection surpass last year's total, leading to simultaneous capacity and team expansions in Kaohsiung and Taoyuan.

The company's core business remains optical screening machines, accounting for about 80% of revenue. However, its expansion into electronic component inspection, particularly for passive components, has been highly successful. These machines can inspect over 10,000 components per minute, effectively addressing issues of over-selection caused by traditional algorithms and reducing process losses while boosting manufacturing efficiency.

The company's inspection equipment has entered the semiconductor and biotechnology fields, developing an automated optical inspection machine for capsules.

Precision Motion Optics has also made inroads into the semiconductor and biotechnology sectors, developing an automated optical inspection machine for capsules. This machine uses AI to identify and exclude defective pills, ensuring product stability. With nearly 50 patents and a focus on integrating deep learning into its inspection algorithms, the company aims for its next-generation screening equipment to be faster, more accurate, and capable of inspecting a wider range of items. This technological advancement is expected to drive substantial growth, with high order visibility for the second half of the year and new products set to contribute.

The next generation of screening equipment aims for 'running faster, measuring more accurately, and inspecting more'.
