New High-speed Laser Marker delivers 2.5x higher chip throughput (units per hour) in a 22% smaller footprint, helping Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly & Test (OSAT) manufacturers drive productivity of valuable production floor space
SINGAPORE, May 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- IDI Dynamics, a subsidiary of ISDN Holdings Limited (SGX: I07 / 1656.HK), has launched its next generation High-speed Laser Marker for semiconductor chip packages, with a dual value proposition of delivering 2.5x higher marking speed and occupying 22% less physical footprint.
The IDI Laser Marker launches with 6 OSAT deployments throughout Asia, and leverages advanced technology contributed by:
- The pre-eminent public research institution in Singapore for industrial research; and
- ISDN Holding's 20-year experience in providing automation engineering and systems for the semiconductor industry.
In head-to-head evaluations against widely deployed industry configurations, the IDI Laser Marker achieves marking speeds up to 2.5 times faster, delivering substantially higher units per hour, while occupying 22 percent less cleanroom floor space. The gains are based on benchmarking using representative OSAT strip formats and standard mark content, with cycle time measured end to end including strip handling.
By increasing marking speed and decreasing floor space, IDI's Laser Market delivers a 3.2x increase in marking productivity per square foot. Floor space has become a critical issue for the semiconductor industry in light of both:
- The rapid growth in demand for chips as a result of AI adoption; and
- The rapidly-rising costs of constructing new clean room factories necessary for producing advanced semiconductor chips.
As a result, IDI has delivered a next-generation marking system aimed at maximising the manufacturing productivity of valuable existing clean room space.
The Laser Marking platform also responds to widening traceability requirements in automotive and industrial electronics, where permanent laser marking is increasingly mandatory. Every system includes a two-year software customisation and support programme covering factory automation integration, handling adaptation, and evolving compliance coding.
"We developed the advanced IDI Laser Marker because our OSAT customers told us that floor space and throughput are now fundamentally integrated, as manufacturers look to maximise output with the smallest economical floor footprint," said Chris Chan, Managing Director of IDI Dynamics. "Our new Laser Marking platform is already delivering this value proposition of the 6 units at launch, and we are pleased to be on the forefront of enabling the next generation of advanced chip manufacturing in the global market".
Mr. Teo Cher Koon, Managing Director and President, added that "IDI's Laser Marking solution is an example of how ISDN's 'full stack' approach to technology and 30 years of serving the semiconductor industry can create powerful collaboration to bring advanced technology to our customers throughout Asia. The IDI Laser Marker product combines cutting-edge research from a pre-eminent research institution with ISDN's decades-long experience with semiconductor and OSAT customers, and a focused entrepreneurial team at our IDI Dynamics subsidiary to bring compelling innovation into the semiconductor market at a time when the industry needs help scaling manufacturing productivity to meet skyrocketing demand.
IDI Dynamics is part of a broad range of strategic solutions that ISDN builds and deploys in the semiconductor industry today, ranging from critical components to full systems and products like the Laser Market today. Our semiconductor solutions are amongst most exciting and fast-growing businesses at ISDN Holdings today."

ISDN's IDI Dynamics debuts high-speed laser marker for semiconductor assembly and test (OSAT)
The region's most authoritative marketer-judged awards programme returns, recognizing outstanding agency, brand, and leadership excellence across Asia Pacific
HONG KONG, May 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Campaign Asia-Pacific, Haymarket Media Asia's industry-leading marcomms title, today announced that nominations for the 2026 Campaign Asia Agency of the Year Awards will open on Tuesday, 9 June 2026.
Recognised as the most prestigious and trusted benchmark for marketing communications excellence in Asia-Pacific, the Awards celebrate outstanding work across agencies, brands, and leaders who have delivered measurable impact, innovation, and growth in an increasingly competitive and evolving industry.
The industry benchmark for credibility and trust
Since its inception in the early 1990s, Campaign's Agency of the Year Awards has remained the region's definitive standard for recognising agency excellence. It is widely regarded by both client marketers and agencies as the most credible validation of performance and impact in the industry.
What sets the programme apart is its fully marketer-led judging process. Senior client-side marketers from across Asia-Pacific are appointed to evaluate entries based on strategic effectiveness, creativity, and business results - ensuring a rigorous, impartial, and commercially grounded assessment.
Further strengthening governance and transparency is the appointment of SCS-Invictus Group as Process Integrity Partner for the 2026 Awards to independently verify all results.
Recognising excellence across a changing industry
Agency of the Year celebrates excellence across both network and independent agencies, recognising outstanding work in local markets while also highlighting regional achievement.
Spanning six sub-regions across Asia-Pacific: Australia/New Zealand, Greater China, Japan/Korea, South Asia, Southeast Asia, and APAC, the programme covers 22 local markets. Entries are open across three core pillars: Agency, People, and Brand.
APAC categories recognise leaders and teams operating across multiple markets, highlighting excellence in cross-border strategy, leadership, and regional business impact.
Campaign's Agency of the Year initiative provides winning agencies with the opportunity to gain recognition beyond their home markets, strengthening both regional visibility and local credibility. The beauty of the programme is that it gives agencies the opportunity to compete within their local market, with the chance to be recognised on the regional (and global) stage.
All Agency, People, and Brand categories are open to both network and independent agencies, recognising excellence across the full breadth of the industry.
The Independent Agency category is the only dedicated stream exclusively for independent agencies, providing a platform to showcase market-level excellence while contributing towards broader regional recognition.
New categories reflecting the industry's digital and AI transformation
The 2026 edition introduces new categories that reflect the increasing impact of AI, marketing technology, and innovation in shaping the future of the marketing and communications industry across Asia-Pacific.
Developed following consultation with the industry, these new categories spotlight organisations and teams that are pushing boundaries in AI adoption, marketing technology, and innovation excellence.
New Agency Categories
- Agency AI Excellence of the Year
- MarTech Agency of the Year
New People Category
- Most Innovative MarTech Team of the Year
"At a time when the industry is being reshaped by change at every level, Campaign's Agency of the Year Awards continue to represent the most trusted measure of success," says says Atifa Silk, managing director of Haymarket Media Asia. "This is not an award decided by peers within the same competitive set; it is judged by senior marketers who understand what effectiveness truly means for business outcomes,"
"That independence is what makes it the benchmark for the industry," she adds. "We encourage agencies, brands, and leaders across Asia-Pacific to put forward their best work, teams and people to be recognised for the impact they have made in a year defined by both challenge and opportunity."
