MADEin4

SEMI spoke with Eyal Shekel, senior VP of Service Strategy and Excellence at Tokyo Electron Limited, about the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on smart manufacturing and how other fab solutions for smarter process tools are advancing semiconductor manufacturing.

Technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, digital twins and big data analytics have become essential in sustaining innovation and production capabilities for numerous European small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)

SEMI spoke with Valentina Terzieva, Manager EU funded projects at imec, about the vital importance of the consortium in spurring Industry 4.0 advances. imec leads the MADEin4 Requirements, Samples and Industry 4.0 pilot line infrastructure work package.

The first of its kind, the Metrology Advances for Digitized ECS Industry 4.0 (MADEin4) project aims to develop the next generation of metrology tools, machine learning methods and applications to help drive higher manufacturing productivity in the semiconductor and automotive industries.

SEMI Europe’s advocacy team is a key force in influencing public policy in areas of strategic importance to the region’s semiconductor industry, making SEMICON Europa the ideal venue for addressing industry-shaping trends and enacting change on policy issues. 

The Cybersecurity Act (Regulation (EU) 2019/881), Europe’s first consolidated cybersecurity certification framework, took effect on 28 June 2019 to establish information and communication technology (ICT) product security certification standards for the European Union (EU).

The project, MADEin4, connects nearly 50 European manufacturers and research and technology organizations (RTOs) to drive Industry 4.0 solutions for the European semiconductor manufacturing industry.
