What changed

Samsung SDI Co., Ltd. has filed a patent application (US20260087437A1) detailing an apparatus, method, and computer program for predicting product quality and optimizing manufacturing processes. The core innovation lies in verifying the tolerance range of existing process factors and optimizing those of unverified factors to enhance manufacturing yield and minimize product discards. The system predicts a second target value and uncertainty range for a performance factor based on a first target value and its tolerance range, comparing the predicted uncertainty with a predefined reference range.

This patent application, while not a regulation, signifies a technological advancement relevant to manufacturers seeking to improve production efficiency and quality control. Compliance officers in the manufacturing sector, particularly those involved in process engineering and quality assurance, should be aware of such innovations as they may influence future industry standards or best practices. No immediate compliance actions are required, as this is a patent application, not a regulatory mandate.

Abstract

The present technology relates to an apparatus and method for predicting quality of a product and a computer program and is directed to providing a solution capable of increasing a manufacturing yield of finished products and reducing a discard rate by verifying a tolerance range of a process factor applied to a product manufacturing process and optimizing a tolerance range of an unverified process factor. The present technology may provide a configuration in which a second target value of a performance factor of the finished product and an uncertainty range of the second target value are predicted from a first target value of a target process factor applied to a target manufacturing process and a tolerance range of the first target value using the performance prediction model, and the predicted uncertainty range is compared with a predefined reference range to verify the tolerance range of the first target value.
