Why is everyone talking about scheduling their fabs?

John R Behnke
General Manager Final Phase Systems
Inficon

Abstract
The Industry 4.0/Smart Manufacturing revolution is underway and already driving changes throughout the Semi industry and world. The establishment of a comprehensive Digital Twin of a factory is key to delivering any I4.0/Smart solution. It is significantly more difficult to create a Digital Twin in Semi than any other industry for several reasons which will be reviewed. Fabs are willing to invest in creating a Digital Twin because it enables new capabilities, many of which were not comprehended even a few years ago. Among the new I4.0/Smart solutions, full Fab/Factory Scheduling is the leading application as it typically provides the fastest and greatest ROI. We will review the data and factory requirements, deliverables and expected benefits from such a system including case studies. We will conclude with an overview of future Scheduler enhancements including the integration with tool centric solutions like APC,FDC, eOCAP, etc..

Democratizing AI to accelerate the journey towards smart manufacturing

Ingo Kobusch
Industry Consultant, IBM Global Electronics Center of Competence
Ibm Services

Abstract
Semiconductor manufacturing has been at the forefront of implementing aspects of smart manufacturing since the early 2000s. Automated material handling and analytics have enabled 300mm fab to reach the highest level of automation among almost all manufacturing industries. Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) holds the promise of driving the next level of smart manufacturing. This talk will cover how to accelerate the application of AI and advanced analytics in semiconductor manufacturing by combining semiconductor domain specific templates and solution patterns utilizing advanced AI & Machine Learning algorithms via hybrid multi cloud delivery model.

Long way to visibility - IoT as enabler for full transparency along the supply chain

Florian Kemmerling

DBschenker

Abstract
IoT offers promising technical solutions to obtain full and real-time visibility over the supply chain. But the large number of participants in the supply chain, distributed ownership of devices and numerous used technology make it a real challenge to get seamless visibility on a transport. Only few involved can succeed in getting an overview and one of them is the forwarder orchestrating the transport. Key success factor is beside deep process knowledge a flexible IoT platform architecture and a good reach to all parties

Biography
Working more than 10 years in logistics industry with an operational background, focused on digitizing logistics processes. After stations as CIO of Flash Europe, focused on expedited transports and launching a digital startup, he joined DB Schenker 2 years ago, focused on new, customer facing digital initiatives. As Head of IoT he takes care on all IoT projects at DB Schenker and visibility initiatives

Cyber-Physical Human-in-the-Loop Systems for manufacturing: exploring the border between learning and control

Giovanni Russo
Lecturer in Cyber-Physical Systems
University College Dublin

Abstract
Complex manufacturing systems can be modeled as Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs). Essentially, a CPS is a system controlled via a closed-loop computer-based algorithm and tightly integrated with the communication infrastructure and the behavior of its users. In a manufacturing scenario, it is of particular interest to study CPSs that have humans in their loop. In this context, the talk we will present some recent results related to the design of the control system for such Cyber-Physical, human-in-the-loop, systems. In particular, we will start with introducing our main set-up and context for the research. Then, we will present a set of new results for controlling systems directly from data. From the conceptual viewpoint, the results will allow to learn a control policy from demonstrations and the idea deploy our algorithms in a manufacturing environment, where the plant is not programmed to execute a task but it rather learns how to execute it from success stories
