PII signs business agreement with Tomocube

AI software specialist PiI and 3D label-free cell imaging specialist TomoCube signed a business agreement (MOU) on the 14th for the development and commercialization of inspection technology based on holotomography.

This agreement is to jointly develop and commercialize technology for applying holotomography technology to the precision inspection field based on the core competencies of both companies. The scope of cooperation includes joint technology development, sales and marketing activities for market expansion, industrial certification response, and major project execution.

Holotomography is an advanced 3D optical imaging technology that combines holography and tomography, and is characterized by the ability to reconstruct the refractive index distribution inside transparent or translucent objects with high resolution without damage. Its value as a non-contact, non-destructive inspection method is increasing not only in the field of biological cell imaging but also in high-precision industries such as semiconductors and displays.

According to the agreement, TomoCube will be responsible for developing core holotomography technologies and supplying equipment, providing technical training, and providing testing equipment, while PIIE will be responsible for developing inspection software, implementing smart factory systems, and designing mass production structures, thereby promoting the development of integrated solutions optimized for industrial sites.

“Through this collaboration, we expect to be able to present advanced inspection solutions specialized for advanced manufacturing processes,” said PIE Co-CEO Jeong-il Choi. “Based on our technological collaboration with Tomocube, we will expand the application of PIE solutions to various advanced industries such as semiconductors, displays, and secondary batteries, and realize our corporate vision of ‘PIE Solutions everywhere.’”
