Seeing is Understanding: Improving the Visibility into Smart Manufacturing Operations by Raising Our Standards

By: Alan Weber, VP New Product Innovations

The manufacturing equipment in semiconductor factories—both front end wafer fabs and back end assembly, packaging, and test facilities—are arguably the richest sources of data about how well the production processes are being run. However, the lack of detailed visibility into equipment and process behavior is still cited as a limiting factor for effective smart factory management. The solution to this problem is not simply additional standards, but also includes deeper understanding of the available standards and broader adoption of the best practices for their implementation. Methods for accomplishing both are the focus of this presentation.
