Freescale Semiconductor is tracking work in progress wafer lots and is realizing substantial benefits:
- 82% improvement in wafer lot retrieval time
- 6.8% productivity improvement (Turns/Labor Hours)
- 13% on time delivery improvement
- Dispatch compliance improvement: 8% average throughout Fab, 25% in photo-lithography
- Improved Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE)
"Given the high production volumes in semiconductor manufacturing and speed-to-market requirements, it’s essential that our facilities move work-in-progress products throughout the manufacturing process as quickly as possible. The AeroScout solution is especially attractive in that it can use our Wi-Fi network without impacting existing operations, and has been embraced by our fab’s operators due to its ease of use."
