camLine will host its U.S. Forum 2025 on October 10, 2025, at Intel’s Chandler campus in Arizona; a one-day event dedicated to exploring how semiconductor manufacturers are addressing today’s most critical operational challenges.

Fabs worldwide face growing demands for higher output, tighter process control, and reduced environmental impact. Achieving these goals requires more than equipment upgrades; it calls for a coordinated, data driven approach across manufacturing execution and material control systems.

Under the theme “Define a Future with Digital Continuity: Power Up Smart Manufacturing,” the forum will examine how Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES), Material Control Systems (MCS), and Digital Twin technologies are being deployed to optimize material flow, cut inefficiencies, and support sustainable growth in live production environments.

The program will feature a keynote from Daniel C. Rodriguez, Intel Vice President and General Manager of the Edge Computing Group, alongside sessions that share real factory use cases, technical insights, and live demonstrations. A central element is the voice of customers, with manufacturers presenting measurable results and lessons learned from implementing these systems in production environments.
