台灣光學檢測設備發展策略之個案研究

Abstract

本研究以國內之光學檢測設備廠商為研究對象，以文獻探討、個案及深度訪談方式研究光學檢測設備廠商之發展策略。 自動光學檢測（Automated Optical Inspection，AOI）設備是近年來相當具有市場潛力的檢測設備，近年來由於新興產業之興起，如IC、PCB、LCD、BGA、通訊等，必須做到百分之百的全檢，少數廠商已開始致力於精密量測系統之發展。然而，大多數仍歸屬於電子儀器類，除了電性檢驗外，尺寸及表面瑕疵檢測也是必須項目，AOI 設備的重要性日益增加。此外，在德國提出工業4.0計劃後，智慧製造預期將帶動新一波製造業轉型的浪潮，又由於全球面臨高齡化社會與少子化的趨勢浪潮，各國都將面臨嚴重的缺工問題，迫使全球製造工業面臨新的製造技術變革，在此趨勢下，AOI有機會成為智慧製造重要的環節。 本研究首先透過分析歸納，進行台灣光學檢測設備產業之產業分析並加以探討，並對其運作現況進行分析，其中包括環境因素、其近期之發展趨勢以及政府政策等方面，接著推論出台灣光學檢測設備產業未來發展的可能方向。最後本研究將根據研究結果與分析對台灣光學檢測設備產業之未來發展做出結論與建議。

Automatic or automated optical inspection (AOI) is a key technique used in the manufacture and inspection, and it majorly works as an automatic visual inspection tool for a large number of products such as printed circuit boards (PCBs), lids or labels on product packages, agricultural products (seed corn or fruits), and automotive parts. The method is regarded as the most dependable inspection process for PCBs in most of the electronics industries. It is now used worldwide in most of the surface mount technology (SMT) production lines, to detect a variety of surface feature defects. The AOI market is segmented on the basis of type, technology, product, application, and geography. The market is segmented into major application sectors such as industrial, medical, agricultural, automotive, aerospace, and defense. The market based on product is segmented into lighting, imaging, and data storage products. This research aims to conduct an industry analysis through literature review and will be followed by a case study of a Taiwanese AOI manufacturer. The research applies the framework of five forces analysis, industry life cycle, technology and product life cycle, and value chain analysis to depict the competitive landscape of AOI industry. In the last section, the research offers some suggestions to the case company for its future possible development under the trend of Industry 4.0.
