About SixSense

SixSense provides an AI-powered, cloud-based platform for the semiconductor manufacturing industry, designed to automate and enhance the analysis of visual inspection data. Founded in Singapore in 2018 by Akanksha Jagwani and Avni Agarwal, the company targets the complex challenges of quality control in semiconductor fabrication plants (fabs) and outsourced semiconductor assembly and test (OSAT) providers. The founders identified a critical gap in the industry where vast amounts of production data from inspection equipment were not being effectively utilized, forcing engineers to rely on time-consuming and subjective manual processes.

Co-founder and CEO, Akanksha Jagwani, leverages her background in mechanical engineering and experience building automation solutions for major manufacturers like Hyundai Motor Group and General Electric. Co-founder and CTO, Avni Agarwal, brings expertise in computer engineering and large-scale data analytics from her time at Visa. Their combined experience led them to develop a solution specifically for process engineers. The platform is designed to be hardware-agnostic and requires no coding, enabling engineers to deploy and fine-tune AI models using their own factory data in under two days.

The company's core business revolves around its AI-driven software that provides real-time defect detection, classification, root cause analysis, and predictive failure analysis. Its flagship solution, AI-ADC, is a real-time vision engine that analyzes images to classify defects with over 99% accuracy, aiming to eliminate critical defects from passing through inspection. By converting raw data into actionable insights, the platform helps manufacturers prevent quality issues, improve production yields, and increase operational efficiency. Clients, which include major industry players like GlobalFoundries and JCET, have reported significant benefits such as 30% faster production cycles, a 1-2% increase in yield, and a 90% reduction in manual inspection efforts. SixSense operates on a B2B model, providing its platform to a global client base in Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan, and Israel, and is actively expanding into the U.S. market.
