Semiconductor Manufacturing
Customers are increasingly using semiconductor products to transform their products, production methods and business models and manufacturers must keep pace. Driven by the IoT revolution, 5G wireless, artificial intelligence (AI), automotive, and augmented reality (AR) both opportunities and pressures on semiconductor makers are growing.
Semiconductor manufacturers today must be more agile and rapid to remain competitive. Digitalization is the key and manufacturers must now find ways to move beyond legacy systems to innovate faster and increase efficiency, quality and visibility while driving down costs.

Companies can rapidly get a uniform view of performance and issues across plants using our FabLive Digital Twin. This 3D visual approach is also available for deep drill-down into information from any MES. Import existing equipment models and fab blueprints to rapidly build out visibility for sites using Critical Manufacturing Augmented MES or older legacy systems. Critical Manufacturing MES is scalable. It has been implemented in large and small organizations and sites. A greenfield points to implementation in less than two months, and large fabs and backends have also migrated to replace legacy systems. | The semiconductor industry faces a shortage of skilled people. Critical Manufacturing MES provides guidance and training through not only work instructions, reports, and dashboards, but also a factory Digital Twin. It allows the operations team to create and build GUIs and workflows themselves, to fully support their tasks. Beyond dashboards and advanced reports, BI Cards offer compact and clear views of KPIs and other key intelligence to ensure employees can act quickly. Augmented Reality (AR) can show any operator, equipment or product data from across the MES, superimposed over a live camera image on any smartphone, tablet or AR headset. |
