Advantest has three business segments: Semiconductor and Component Test Systems, which accounts for about 70% of sales; Mechatronics Systems, which handles test system peripherals; and Services, Support and Other, which mainly provides customer support and system-level test products. In combination, these products and solutions enable us to respond to a wide variety of semiconductor test needs and diverse customer requirements. Our broad portfolio is one of the keys to our competitiveness. Our field services business and system level test business account for the majority of sales in this segment. Field services are not limited to maintenance of our systems. We are also expanding into high value-added services such as system utilization rate improvement, mass production ramp consulting, and security-conscious online support. System-level test systems test semiconductors in an environment similar to that of the final product where the semiconductors will be used. It screens out defects that cannot be checked by testing the device in a stand-alone environment. We built an early position of strength in this sector through acquisitions, and are now working to grow our system-level test business through synergies with our test systems. In addition, this segment includes Advantest Cloud Solutions™ (ACS), which enables data utilization in the semiconductor manufacturing process; second-hand product sales; and products for non-semiconductor applications such as measurement solutions for the medical and pharmaceutical fields.
