Semiconductor makers must evolve and innovate, so how can MES keep delivering value? Specialty chips can be great niches, but they don’t necessarily improve linearly or predictably. So, semiconductor companies must become more effective innovators rather than only seeking stability or increased product processing speed. Changing products, processes, and customers can boost win rates. No…
When can an early technology decision create a risk conundrum? When you’re a semiconductor company that implemented MES a decade ago or more. You now face the decision of whether to stick with an outdated legacy system or migrate to current MES. Julie Fraser explores this risk conundrum in her second of three guest blog…

What is missing in transforming into a model-based enterprise (MBE)? For one thing, continuity from engineering to shopfloor and back. Gaining MBE continuity is a many-faceted challenge. There are people, process, and technology issues to transform. In this on-demand webinar we explored those issues. It will get you thinking about how details of the digital…
How do you manage a semiconductor production facility? Most people in the chip industry would say: with semiconductor MES. With its complex processes and products that cannot be clearly seen with the naked human eye, the semiconductor industry began broadly adopting MES in the 1980s and 1990s. And therein lies the problem. The systems that…
