With the current pace of innovation, future readiness is an ever more key aspect of industrial strategy. What are the criteria for a forward compatible manufacturing execution system (MES) in the age of Industry 4.0? Whether you are thinking about current needs, or considering future compatibility for emerging product technologies, flexibility and agility are key.

Watch this webinar to learn from long-time industry analyst Julie Fraser from Tech-Clarity and Scott Van Etten, Program Manager for the High Performance NAND Test Laboratory of the itt Chip Semiconductor Institute at Unisinos in Brazil. Julie will point out opportunities not to repeat the thought patterns and choices that limit operational excellence in the industry today. Scott has implemented and worked with MES in multiple semiconductor companies. Now he shares his experience regarding what to look for in a system to keep up with the many advances of today, tomorrow, and beyond.

Scott has impressive recent experience including implementing MES in just three months in a greenfield semiconductor packaging and test plant. Now in academia he is working on research projects focused on advanced tools for testing and analysis of SiP products containing NAND memory. Join this webinar and learn how Scott planned for current needs without sacrificing forward flexibility to deal with the unknowns of manufacturing and testing future memory technologies. He shares his wisdom on what’s required – and available – to semiconductor plants today to confidently move into the future.

• Why semiconductor makers must push for accelerated operational excellence to keep up with their customers
• Why Plant Managers must demand that MES be forward compatible, flexible, agile and easy to use
• What it takes to get MES up and running in 90 days in a greenfield implementation
• MES characteristics necessary to deliver, access, and integrate ever more complex data
• The role of MES in managing IP in an increasingly complex semiconductor supply chain
• Considerations for ensuring MES can support future semiconductor test needs including changing memory technology and the application of emerging techniques for analysis

This informative 40-minute session includes interaction, presentation, and Q&A. It will equip you to create the right set of questions to define and select an MES to support the unknown dramatic changes that are now and will continue to transform the semiconductor industry.
