Topic: Cognitive Factory Transformation with A.I.
​
Abstract

• Semiconductor 300mm wafer fab has implemented Smart Factory since 2000s by full automation with online integration of analytics applications in addition to equipment and material handling system.
• The level of automation has become higher by continuous addition of event driven automation scenario on workflow engine.
• Leverage of AI and big data analytics has been started at most of 300mm wafer fabs, but it’s still limited and not sufficient to get enough benefit.
• Cognitive Factory transformation with AI is necessary to get more benefit and it requires new IT platform with DigitalTwin & AI analytics environment on hybrid multi cloud. It will enable autonomic production based on predictive decision making with assistance of AI.
• Facility management is also target of the transformation and the asset performance management can be enhanced by leveraging AI and data.
