HSINCHU, Aug. 13,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- ASPEED Technology, a leader in
360-degree immersive remote management solutions, along with its
subsidiary Cupola360, has partnered with Sigurd Microelectronics
Corporation, a leading semiconductor packaging and testing company,
to introduce an innovative customer immersive remote factory tour
solution for the semiconductor packaging and testing industry.
Leveraging ASPEED and Cupola360's Cupola360 immersive panoramic
cameras and visual remote management platform, this solution
facilitates remote customer audits and tours of factory production
lines, assisting Sigurd in providing even more comprehensive
backend semiconductor manufacturing services.
Sigurd has been committed to promoting intelligent upgrades in
its factories in recent years, actively introducing innovative
technologies to enhance service quality and customer satisfaction.
ASPEED and Cupola360's panoramic smart visual remote management
solution involves the extensive deployment of Cupola360 panoramic
cameras throughout the factory, connecting the entire space for
real-time remote patrol and inspection. This system can instantly
display production data on-site. Customers, factory managers, and
auditors can conduct remote factory patrols, project discussions,
and process introductions without physically entering the
production lines. This approach reduces travel costs and carbon
footprints while minimizing the risk of interference and
contamination from personnel entering the production lines. The
immersive visual advantage of Cupola360 offers customers real-time
production images and data that are superior to those available on
physical production lines, significantly enhancing the efficiency
and quality of customer factory tours. Additionally, it makes it
easier for customers to track the progress of their production
projects.
"For many industries, customer factory visits are essential.
However, in the past, there was a lack of advanced technology to
replace physical visits. Now, with the Cupola360 immersive remote
factory tour solution, the cumbersome process of production line
access control is eliminated, significantly enhancing the customer
tour experience and efficiency. This solution also helps customers
keep track of the production site status and related data in real
time, effectively improving project tracking and management
efficiency. Sigurd, with numerous international clients, places
great importance on its commitment to customer rights and
satisfaction. The management team, with great foresight, has
actively implemented this system, greatly enhancing customer
trust." said CJ Hsieh, COO of ASPEED Technology.
"In response to the changes in industry and work patterns in the
post-pandemic era, remote factory tours have become an important
trend. Existing factory inspections and customer visits require a
large amount of manpower for on-site patrol and inspections, and
the process is cumbersome. Frequent entries to the production lines
affect production efficiency. Sigurd places great importance on
customer satisfaction and the protection of their interests, and
the Cupola360 panoramic smart visual remote management solution
effectively addresses the pain points of existing inspections,
audits, and tours, significantly improving operational efficiency,
enhancing site safety, and increasing customer satisfaction and
adoption speed. Together, we create greater value for our
customers." said Tsan-Lien Yeh,
General Manager and COO of Sigurd. This solution has already been
successfully implemented at Sigurd's Beixing and Zhongxing
factories and will continue to expand to other factory applications
across various industries in the future.
