Higher throughput and energy efficiency for chipmakers and OSAT providers

Rosenheim, Germany, 5 November 2024 – esmo group (esmo), a leading global full-service systems integrator, developer, and supplier of innovative and advanced automation solutions, is proud to announce the launch of its latest product—the Apollo Quad Handler. Designed to bridge the gap between the engineering and production phases, this advanced handler offers unprecedented flexibility, reliability, and energy efficiency for final test operations, setting a new standard for semiconductor testing.

"As semiconductor manufacturers continue to face increasing demands for greater throughput and efficiency, our new quad handler responds to industry needs with a state-of-the-art solution," said Simon Murnauer, Manager R&D of esmo AG. "We are excited to introduce a handler that not only delivers superior performance, but also addresses critical issues like energy consumption and cost-effectiveness for applications where ultra-high parallel testing isn't required."

The success of esmo's talos engineering handler sparked demand for a similarly flexible and reliable machine optimised for higher volumes. The Apollo Quad Handler addresses this need, offering an alternative to energy-intensive legacy systems. Optimised for testing complex devices like SoCs and AI chips, it's designed for applications requiring up to 50,000 devices per day, delivering precise thermal performance and real-world UPH (units per hour) efficiency.

"Our product meets the evolving demands of the semiconductor industry by delivering similar UPH at significantly lower costs—both in terms of purchase price and ongoing energy consumption," added Murnauer. "It's a solution that addresses both the needs of low- to mid-volume production and engineering trials, making it an attractive option for a wide range of customers."
