- Average sale price of image-based AOI is significantly lower than algorithm-based AOI (50% lower in that case)
- No engineering required for image AOI
- Engineering required for algorithm AOI (20% of full time engineer, for 5 years)
- 1 full-time operator for image AOI (for 5 years)
- With algorithm AOI full-time attention is not needed (20% of full time operator for 5 years). Most of the time, line operator acts as AOI operator as well.
- Yield improvement on algorithm-based is 20% higher than an image-based machine (process dependent)
- Technology
- Quality improvement
- Return on investment
