Delvitech

What Delvitech does

Delvitech designs, manufactures, and supplies sustainable AI-based technological solutions for the 3D automated optical inspection (AOI) and solder paste inspection (SPI) of assembled printed circuit boards (PCBs). The company combines AI with industry-leading engineering technology to create unique inspection machines for all SMT and THT production phases. Their software features self-programming capabilities and works with a proprietary, patented multi-camera optical head engineered in Switzerland. The web-based software aims to automatically generate inspection programs that can be shared via the cloud, leading to continuous improvement of the manufacturing process, making it faster and steadier. Delvitech's solutions are built with "Physical AI" from the ground up, designed to minimize manual configuration, continuously evolve, and adapt to production lines, reducing false positives and ensuring high accuracy. They offer a single inspection ecosystem from screen printing to post-reflow inspection, with flexible elements for microelectronics and high-speed lines.

Products

• HorusThe first Physical AI platform designed for both AOI and SPI in SMT productions with true 3D precision. It inspects faster, sees deeper, continuously adapts, and reduces false positives. It features patented optical heads, proprietary neural networks, and is a scalable, upgradable platform with elements like XP for high throughput, HD for ultra-high-resolution imaging, DUO for dual-lane conveyors, and ITU for double-sided inspection. It processes over 40 gigabytes of inspection data in one second and supports boards up to 560 × 550 mm and 5 kg.
• AtonA cutting-edge full 3D inspection solution powered by Artificial Intelligence, specifically designed for Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) systems. It is tailored for post-reflow and post-wave inspection, excelling in handling complex PCBAs with heavy, large, or high-profile components, thanks to its adaptive Z-axis movement and advanced optical head. It is designed for the most complex, large, or heavy boards, with extended top and bottom clearance and full Z-axis adaptability.
• NEITH SoftwareA web-based AI-powered platform that boosts production output, prevents defects, and increases the first-pass yield. It is the unified inspection software for both Horus and Aton, built for Industry 4.0. It leverages AI to optimize data management, enhance production efficiency, and prevent defects. Its microservices architecture allows custom inspections and flexible integrations.
• Training ManagerOn-machine training software that learns without forgetting, continuously improving without halting production.

AI approach

Delvitech designs, manufactures, and supplies AI-based technological solutions for 3D automated optical inspection (AOI) and solder paste inspection (SPI) of assembled printed circuit boards (PCBs). Their systems, like Horus and Aton, combine proprietary neural networks with patented optical heads to perform precise 3D inspections, detect defects, and continuously learn and adapt. The Neith software, a web-based AI-powered platform, optimizes data management, enhances production efficiency, and prevents defects. They emphasize "Physical AI" meaning AI is built into the core of their platforms from the ground up, enabling self-programming features and predictive error detection.
