Delvitech to Officially Present Hybrid AOI + SPI Horus System at IPC APEX EXPO 2025
February 6, 2025 | DelvitechEstimated reading time: 1 minute

Delvitech is happy to announce that it will showcase its groundbreaking Horus system, the industry's first all-in-one AI native platform for both Automatic Optical Inspection (AOI) and Solder Paste Inspection (SPI), at the upcoming IPC APEX EXPO 2025. The event is scheduled from March 18 to 20, 2025, at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California.
Horus represents a revolutionary hybrid 3D inspection solution driven by Artificial Intelligence, capable of conducting both Automatic Optical Inspection (AOI) and Solder Paste Inspection (SPI). Built on proprietary neural networks, it overcomes the limitations of traditional systems, adapting to the diverse variations that arise during production. This advanced technology enables Delvitech to offer an unparalleled inspection solution that integrates effortlessly into every aspect of Surface Mount Technology (SMT) production, redefining inspection processes with unmatched precision and efficiency.
Key Features of the Horus System:
- Unified Recipe Import: The system imports a comprehensive inspection recipe encompassing all production processes
- User-Friendly Interface: Features dedicated tabs for PASTE, PLACEMENT, and REFLOW, each displaying relevant data for streamlined inspections
- Advanced Inspection Capabilities: Offers specialized inspection steps within each process
- Defect Visualization: Detected paste defects are displayed in the Verification Station interface together with components defects, for thorough analysis
Delvitech's proprietary neural network technology minimizes manual configuration by independently identifying and defining PCB components with exceptional accuracy. This approach reduces false positives and ensures unmatched precision across various PCB types and production stages.
Attendees of IPC APEX EXPO 2025 are invited to visit Delvitech's at booth number 846 to experience live demonstrations of the Horus system and learn more about its innovative features.
