Bio
At INFICON FPS Holland Smith manages Smart Manufacturing systems architecture and installation projects at fabs across the world. One of Mr. Smith's principal interests is leveraging the combination of properly-designed data systems (a digital twin) and applied factory physics software to deliver optimized solutions for the spectrum of challenges of running factory operations (and there are many!). Mr. Smith is a semiconductor data systems expert and a contributing developer of the INFICON FPS Digital Twin, which enables advanced Fab Scheduling, optimized WIP movement, and other related capabilities of the INFICON FPS product suite. Mr. Smith is a published expert in automated calculations of key forecasting measures like throughput and cycle time that enable Smart manufacturing systems to model the future of a fab with high fidelity over different time scales.
Prior to INFICON FPS, Mr. Smith worked as a Technology Development Engineer at Intel D1D/X in Hillsboro, OR. Holland lead several data integration projects including pioneering work to unite previously disparate subfab and fab-level data sources into an integrated and actionable system. Previous Mr. Smith also worked designing automated experimental data acquisition and analysis systems for semiconductor characterization at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
