At the event, visitors will get a first-hand look at how the company’s MES supports semiconductor manufacturers and tackles the pressures of advanced chip production and increasingly complex supply chains. It provides manufacturers with complete visibility and end-to-end traceability, with real-time monitoring that keeps every stage of wafer and die processing on track. The system also keeps processes stable with run-to-run control, allows users to fine-tune recipes for individual chambers and works seamlessly with sorters to ensure smooth wafer movement throughout the factory. Combined with an IoT Data Platform, it gives teams instant access to contextualized information so they can respond quickly to shop-floor changes, minimize variability and keep productivity high.
Alongside these capabilities, the company will present c-Alice, the AI-powered image analytics solution from its recent acquisition of Convanit, a specialist in image classification for high-tech manufacturing. It is designed for environments where inspection is a critical step. c-Alice, analyzes images in real time to detect and classify defects, while linking results directly to MES workflows. By pairing image intelligence with live process data, it gives engineers a detailed view of quality as production runs, helping them make quick, informed decisions and sustain high yields in even the most demanding semiconductor operations.
“SEMICON West is a great opportunity for us to interact with manufacturers and talk about what really matters to them on the shopfloor,” commented Jeff Peabody, the company’s Vice President of Sales and Business Development. He added: “We want visitors to leave our booth feeling inspired about how much easier it can be to trace materials, act on data and keep quality under control when everything is connected through a single platform. And now with our MES working alongside c-Alice, engineers will have even better insight to manage complex processes and stay ahead in an industry that’s moving faster than ever.”
Critical Manufacturing is sponsoring the Smart Manufacturing Pavilion and will be at booth SM2 to meet the attendees. Visitors can schedule a demo or book a meeting with company experts to see how the MES, data platform and c-Alice work together to support smarter, more efficient manufacturing. Critical Manufacturing is also providing a complimentary one-day pass to the event.
