Averroes

Averroes is a leading end-to-end AI platform designed to revolutionize quality control in manufacturing through automated visual inspection and virtual metrology. It provides a powerful, no-code environment that allows engineers and operators to build, train, and deploy highly accurate computer vision models without any programming skills. The platform is data and vertical agnostic, making it adaptable to a wide range of industries, including semiconductors, electronics, oil and gas, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, solar, and drone-based inspection.

With a proven track record of achieving over 99% accuracy in defect classification and 98.5% in object detection, Averroes significantly reduces false positives and eliminates escapes. It empowers manufacturers to move beyond the limitations of manual inspection, saving hundreds of hours per month and increasing product quality by up to 30%. The platform's unique capability to train robust models with as few as 20-40 images per defect class makes it exceptionally efficient and quick to implement.

How to use Averroes

The process of implementing Averroes is streamlined into a simple, five-step workflow that requires no coding expertise:

1. Create: Start a new inspection project within the intuitive platform interface.
2. Upload: Upload images of your products, including both good examples and those with defects, directly from your existing inspection equipment.
3. Label: Use the platform's simple tools to label the images, identifying and categorizing different types of defects. This step is crucial for training the AI model.
4. Train: Initiate the model training process with a single click. Averroes' advanced algorithms will learn to distinguish between different defect classes based on your labeled data.
5. Deploy: Once the model is trained to the desired accuracy, deploy it directly into your production line. It can be integrated on-premise for maximum security and speed or in the cloud for scalability. The model provides real-time analysis and feedback.

Core Features of Averroes

• Automated Defect Detection, Classification, and Segmentation: Utilizes advanced deep learning to identify, categorize, and precisely mask defect areas, achieving submicron defect detection with near-zero false positives.
• Deep Learning Virtual Metrology: Enhances process control, particularly in semiconductor manufacturing, by providing high-precision, real-time measurements of metrics like film thickness and uniformity from images.
• No-Code Platform: An intuitive, user-friendly interface enables non-programmers to build and manage custom AI models effortlessly.
• Minimal Data Requirement: Achieves industry-leading accuracy with a small dataset (20-40 images per class), significantly shortening the development cycle.
• Continuous Learning: Features an 'Active Learning' capability, allowing the AI to continuously improve its accuracy over time as it processes more data from the production line.
• Seamless Hardware Integration: Works with your existing inspection systems (e.g., KLA Tencor, AOI, Onto) without requiring any new hardware investment.
• Flexible Deployment: Offers both on-premise and cloud-agnostic deployment options to meet diverse security, latency, and scalability requirements.

Use Cases for Averroes

Averroes is versatile and delivers value across numerous manufacturing sectors:

• Semiconductor: Automated wafer defect inspection, submicron defect detection, and virtual metrology for film thickness and die distribution analysis.
• Electronics: Quality control for PCB assembly, component placement verification, and solder joint inspection.
• Solar: Detection of micro-cracks, scratches, and other defects on solar panels to ensure efficiency and longevity.
• Oil and Gas: Inspection of pipelines, welds, and equipment for corrosion and structural flaws.
• Food and Beverage: Contaminant detection, packaging integrity checks, and label verification.
• Pharmaceuticals: Ensuring product and packaging quality, such as vial inspection and pill counting.

Advantages of Averroes

Averroes provides a distinct competitive edge by automating and enhancing quality control. Key advantages include a remarkable increase in submicron defect detection (40-60%), saving over 300 labor hours per month per application, and boosting overall productivity by more than 30%. It cuts manual review processes by up to 96% and reduces quality control costs by 60%, offering a rapid return on investment. The platform's ability to integrate with existing infrastructure and its no-code simplicity remove major barriers to AI adoption in manufacturing.

Pricing and Plans

Averroes operates on a custom pricing model tailored to the specific needs and scale of each client. Pricing is determined based on factors such as the number of applications, data volume, and deployment choice (on-premise vs. cloud). To receive a detailed quote, potential customers are encouraged to request a demo. During the demo process, Averroes can build an initial proof-of-concept model using the client's own data, often at no charge, to demonstrate the platform's value and potential ROI.
