Today, the world is rapidly moving to artificial intelligence and machine learning to service the demands of the market in every business sector. The world of manufacturing is no different. The necessity to be more intelligent, more responsive, and more quality-driven is needed more than ever before.

Introducing Applied Materials Smart Factory AI Productivity. Create your own competitive advantage with the first CIM-integrated AI platform for semiconductors, helping expedite solutions for your productivity and supply chain challenges using intelligent algorithms. Optimize your multiple objectives through streaming and learning from big data, end-to-end model development and deployment.

Smart Factory AI Productivity addresses two main problems that affect fab productivity and yield. One, the shortcomings of the prediction model, including lot cycle time, dynamic bottlenecks, and yield forecasting. And two, the problem of finding the best logic or parameter values to control production flow or equipment operations in an optimal way, considering real-time and future status.

Smart Factory AI Productivity is the only industrial AI platform that can integrate with scheduling, dispatching and full auto solutions to help you achieve improved throughput, cycle times, utilization, and yield like never before. In production, Smart Factory AI Productivity collects data, trains a model, deploys it to the production environment and monitors its performance in real-time to see how the model is performing. If there are fluctuations in the model’s accuracy, it is automatically retrained.

The solution UI shows results of the model evaluation and performance. Smart Factory AI Productivity is transforming manufacturing productivity by providing automated model building, training and deployment capabilities, as well as a user-friendly solution UI. This fully integrated solution is enabling manufacturers to manage deployments in as little as six months, a quarter of the time it typically takes them to develop individual models.

Smart Factory AI Productivity is integrated into the existing Smart Factory APF (Advanced Productivity Family) and there is no need for users to learn additional environments or languages. Engineers can use pre-built ML models or configure key parameters to help focus on a fab’s challenges and expand the depth of problem solving. Start amplifying your productivity and create your own competitive advantage with Smart Factory AI Productivity.
