SEMI’s 2nd annual webinar on Smart Manufacturing continues on Establishing the Foundation for Smart Manufacturing. It was organized to be both informative, based on pressing critical topics derived from key players across the supply chain, and interactive, including an open panel session of industry experts to discuss topics such as: self-assessments, MES, fault detection, big data, automation and connectivity from a microelectronics fab, OSAT and EMS perspective.
SEMI will present a summary of its past, present and future stakeholder identified activities aligned to Industry 4.0 key initiatives, emerging roadmaps and standards. In specific, guest speakers will provide insight into best practices for vendor data sharing policies, maximizing overall equipment efficiencies, while also addressing the leveraging of digital twins, data architectures, machine learning, and artificial intelligence for automated operational decision-making and control in factories.
This webinar will highlight critical topics that will be further discussed at SEMICON West and at the SEMI Smart Manufacturing Workshop to be held in September.

Digital transformation is continuing to change the way we look at building applications. For years, enterprises have been attempting to streamline manufacturing functions and the associated supply chain by building marketplaces, “standardized” exchange formats, and monolithic systems. However, in many cases, these solutions have missed the mark, and resulted in processes that are fragmented, brittle, and unable to share data seamlessly.
Blockchain, the underlying technology behind Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency platforms, can potentially address many of these issues. The ability to share information via a shared, trusted distributed network with embedded business logic has many potential benefits for the manufacturing industry, especially when combined with techniques from the IoT and AI communities. Join this webinar to hear about enterprise blockchains, associated manufacturing use cases, and several items (including myths) that must be considered for a successful blockchain enterprise implementation.
