A stable yield management system relies upon complete and accurate data. IT staff supports the hardware and software that manages data transfer, access, and storage. Standard IT tools can support these activities. In the semiconductor industry IT professionals’ value tools which embed an understanding of the complex manufacturing data systems they support.
yieldWerx yield management system contains specific modules that support the IT engineers doing the invisible work of data management. Modules that enable IT engineers to add the business rules to manage network interruptions so there are no complaints of missing data. Modules that fully understand the challenges of manufacturing environments which have a mix of manual and automated processes. Modules that IT engineers can customize to support their products or specific factory set-up.
Automation in a manufacturing environment can be a challenge because it’s not always fully automated and because hardware systems and human beings can both have bad days. In OSATs which have legacy equipment and manual processes IT engineers need systems that learn to handle these types of data management errors. Different industry sectors have different archival requirements so IT engineers should not rely upon a calendar notice set for 1 years “go move the data from warm to cold storage.”
yieldWerx yield management software includes fundamental tools which support your IT department.
