A scheduling and resource optimising MES for the semiconductor and MEMS industry

Abstract

While the number of custom specific products is increasing, the order size often diminishes. This problem leads to difficulties in managing demand changes, promising accurate dates and ensuring optimal equipment utilization. A real-time information gap exists in the heart of most manufacturing enterprises, since there is a lack of visibility and predictability. The scheduling of manufacturing orders bears great optimization potential. Based on modern MES with maximum equipment integration, the use of automatic process control and optimization enables SME to be more competitive, efficient and customer-friendly.
