AEM: Unleashing the Power of Tomorrow – Leader in High-Performance Processor Testing for the AI Era
AEM is a global leader in intelligent system test and handling solutions for semiconductor and electronics companies serving the advanced computing, 5G, and AI markets.
AEM’s technology pillars stem from the substantial investments made in R&D to sustain our leadership in three critical verticals: Industry leading Active Thermal Control, Advanced Factory Automation, and Application-Optimized Test Instrumentation.
AEM’s Solutions:
Industry Leading Active Thermal Control: Common active thermal collaterals integrated into various test insertion solutions ranging from the engineering lab to high volume manufacturing to enable rapid time to market and yield improvements.
Advanced Factory Automation: Factory 4.0 automation for low to massively parallel test insertions optimized for maximum throughput and lowest cost of test.
Test Instrumentation: Highly optimized test instrumentation, coupled with active thermal control and automation, that challenges the current cost-prohibitive traditional ATE test methodology.
