The decisions made at the design stage of today's greenfield fabs will shape U.S. semiconductor performance for the next two decades. This webinar explores how organizations can move beyond traditional automation toward adaptive and ultimately autonomous fabs—starting with the foundational design of the built environment. Focusing on greenfield projects, Siemens experts will outline how early integration of power distribution, building systems, and automation technologies enables scalable, resilient, and future-ready facilities. Attendees will learn why designing autonomy requires a holistic approach—one that connects infrastructure, process, and production through a unified technology stack. The webinar will address challenges in adapting global fab designs to U.S. markets, highlighting the need for local expertise, regulatory alignment, and lifecycle planning. It will also explore how digitalization, predictive maintenance, and connected ecosystems drive efficiency in brownfield sites. Join the webinar and discover how to design facilities ready for autonomous, high-performance fabs.
Key takeaways:
Shift from automation to autonomy starts with design
Future fabs require rethinking the built environment upfront—not just layering automation later.
Early integration is critical for scalability and resilience
Aligning power distribution, building systems, and automation from the start enables flexible, future-ready facilities.
A unified technology stack connects infrastructure to production
Achieving autonomy depends on a holistic approach that links physical infrastructure, processes, and operations end-to-end.
Localization and lifecycle planning are key for U.S. fabs
Adapting global designs requires navigating local regulations, leveraging regional expertise, and planning for long-term operations.
Digitalization drives performance across both greenfield and brownfield sites
Technologies like predictive maintenance and connected ecosystems improve efficiency and enable continuous optimization.
