Bing Wang, CIM Solutions Manager, discusses how to achieve critical factory KPIs with an industry-proven turnkey solution: Applied Smartfactory® CIM solution.

Another big challenge semi fabs face with implementing and operating a CIM relates to data consumption. Semiconductor automation systems rely on massive amounts of data integrated from different CIM components—data related to orders, products, process steps, equipment sensors, and operators to drive the business decision making process. This data typically resides in disparate CIM applications with their own integration methods. In some cases, data does not exist, is incomplete, or is manually maintained on an operator’s laptop.
