【Case Study】| Manufacturing Execution System (MES) x CIeNET

The global semiconductor industry is expected to reach almost US$600 billion this year. The semiconductor chip impacts multiple end markets, and unfortunately a missing chip can prevent the sale of a product costing thousands of dollars. For example, the chip shortage of the past two years is estimated to have cost the automobile industry over US$200 billion in sales in 2021 alone.

Semiconductor chips will continue to gain importance amongst many industries, due to the reliability on chips in factories, cars, appliances, computers, and phones. Therefore, improving chip manufacturing by increasing efficiencies and supplies is at the forefront of businesses’ concerns.

CIeNET has helped in the development of Manufacturing Execution Systems to help chip manufacturers monitor and streamline the flow of materials throughout the manufacturing process. We have developed systems for management of business rules, process plans, materials and equipment tracking, as well as lot dispatching controls.

CIeNET also provides multi-site support on MES customization to reflect the specific manufacturing needs and requirements from different production line or manufactory, integrate MES functions into an extensible framework to deliver the speed and flexibility for high-volume manufacturing.

For a semiconductor chip manufacturer, speed and flexibility are required to meet the high-volume demands of today’s world economy. CIeNET can partner with MES solution providers or chip makers to streamline their manufacturing processes across a large framework across global locations.
