Migrate PROMIS to Red Hat® Enterprise Linux® to unlock new features, integrations, and enhancements
PROMIS on Red Hat Enterprise Linux is a manufacturing execution system (MES) platform that helps semiconductor manufacturers manage production, enforce process flows, and maintain traceability across the fab. It brings the proven capabilities of PROMIS to a modern, enterprise-supported Linux environment, creating a foundation for long-term support, infrastructure modernization, and future software innovation. For fab operations and IT teams, PROMIS on Red Hat Linux is not simply a technology refresh. It is how manufacturers continue to run proven factory execution processes while aligning with modern infrastructure standards and preparing for new integrations, capabilities, and operational improvements.
PROMIS on Red Hat Linux provides the foundation for future SmartFactory innovations, enabling customers to take advantage of new capabilities as they are introduced. From AI-powered assistance through SmartFactory Genie to continued advancements across the SmartFactory portfolio, the Linux platform positions manufacturers to adopt emerging technologies while maintaining a stable and proven manufacturing execution environment.
PROMIS customers are migrating to Red Hat Enterprise Linux to extend the life of their PROMIS as part of broader IT modernization initiatives and platform standardization efforts. This is primarily to offset risks from aging or unsupported infrastructure assets, high costs of maintenance, and declining availability of resource expertise creating additional training costs. With an increasing number of semiconductor manufacturers already running PROMIS on Linux in production, the platform has become a proven path for organizations planning the next phase of their MES strategy.
The migration focuses on the underlying operating system rather than changing how factory personnel interact with PROMIS. Manufacturers can continue using familiar MES workflows and processes while benefiting from a modern platform foundation.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux provides a foundation for ongoing SmartFactory innovation, including new integrations, future platform enhancements, AI-powered capabilities, and expanded interoperability across manufacturing systems.
Linux helps manufacturers establish a stable, enterprise-supported platform that can evolve with changing business, technology, and operational requirements. This creates a foundation for future growth while extending the value of existing MES investments.
