Case Studies

Semiconductor Manufacturing

A leading U.S.-based semiconductor company has implemented our SWIR camera solutions for inline wafer inspection. With real-time defect detection and precise surface monitoring, as per last year’s report yield improved by over 12%, reducing downtime and manual inspection costs significantly.

Defense Surveillance

A U.S. government defense contractor utilized rugged SWIR units provided by us to enhance visibility in nighttime and smoke-filled combat zones. The result was a 35% improvement in target acquisition and operational safety in complex environments.

Food Processing Industry

A Canadian food quality assurance company adopted SWIR cameras for moisture and bruising detection in packaged fruits. This non-destructive technique led to a 25% drop in consumer complaints and higher satisfaction ratings across grocery chains.
