Why Automation, Not Wafer Size, Determines Semiconductor Fab Cycle Time
New 200 mm capacity is often built from scratch or heavily refurbished, making it easier to apply the same automation patterns used in 300 mm fabs. The result is convergence; wafer diameter still affects output per lot, but it no longer indicates the level of automation.
How Real-Time Manufacturing Operations Drive Competitive Advantage in Volatile Markets
Manufacturing executives confronting today's operational challenges recognize a fundamental truth: traditional execution systems designed for stable markets have become organizational liabilities.
How to Employ AI in Manufacturing Sales
AI agents can help ensure every interaction across every channel contributes to a single, intelligent sales motion, including always-on gathering insights like on which SKUs are trending to develop and implement real-time optimizations.
AI in Manufacturing: Why Now Matters
In an environment driven by Lean Manufacturing and Continuous Improvement, AI empowers shops to act faster and smarter, without adding more headcount.
Using AI to Solve the "Execution Gap" in Manufacturing
Max AI doesn't just bridge the execution gap - it sets a new standard for modern manufacturing. By acting in real time - watching, thinking, and doing - it removes the friction and firefighting that once consumed operators, supervisors, and planners.
The Library of Machine Malfunctions and Changing the Factory-Worker Relationship
The goal from day one was clear: build the definitive source of industrial reliability knowledge, and open it up to empower teams everywhere to shift from reactive troubleshooting to proactive control.
When Clean is the Key to Precision
Micro molded parts are often invisible to the naked eye, measured in millimeters or fractions of millimeters, with features that can be smaller than a human hair. In this context, a single dust particle can disrupt form, fit, or function.
"Building for the Surge: How to Prepare Your Factory Storage for Times of Peak Demand"

To truly manage seasonal peaks efficiently and safely, facilities need a storage infrastructure designed to flex with changes in demand, regardless of whether they're seasonal, planned, or one-time occurrences.
How Machine Vision is Enhancing Automation Safety and Efficiency
Technologies to extract high-level meaning from images are increasingly common. Within the research community, such technologies are often considered different from machine vision. However, all are different ways of achieving machine vision and in many cases overlap.
10 Common Supply Chain Issues & How to Solve Them
Let's take a look at some of the major global supply chain issues of the past four years, then drill into the most common effects on businesses. You'll be surprised at the number of strategies you can implement to mitigate the risks.
PILLARS OF TOMORROW - A hopeful vision of Government, Technology, and Human Dignity in harmony
For centuries, visions of the future have been dominated by dystopian warnings - cautionary tales of power gone wrong. Five Pillars of Tomorrow offers an alternative: a governance model where transparency, collective wisdom, and advanced AI safeguard human dignity.
Falling Behind Competition? Feel Like You Are Not Innovating Enough? Rethink Your CAD Platform.
Transitioning to cloud-native CAD mitigates legacy system burdens. Organizations can eliminate high upfront costs, reduce IT overhead, dismantle data silos, enable seamless collaboration, and access integrated data management.
Why Manufacturers Must Balance Proactive Cybersecurity with Verified Recovery
Under more pressure than ever to protect their systems, many organizations are still acting on the assumption that proactive prevention will keep their operations safe and running. In reality, hackers can break through first walls of defense and wreak operational havoc.
