Abstract

Managing Big Data for Smart Manufacturing

All semiconductor OEMs understand the importance of data: it drives manufacturing improvements (e.g., tells you where and when to add more sensors, how to perform faster sampling, and how to integrate different sources). Collecting large data volumes (e.g., EDA data) enables deep insight into critical manufacturing process and production metrics, and opens the possibility of using advanced analytics and machine learning to speed defect analysis and reduce repair times. Big data management provides big opportunities for OEMs. Join us to learn how standards-based data management solutions will enable high-speed data collection and storage, and how you can leverage best practices to take advantage of Smart Manufacturing opportunities quickly and inexpensively.
