Managing data for a zero defect production: The contribution of manufacturing automation to a corporate strategy

Abstract

Most chips used for automotive applications do not tolerate failure. Next to design considerations, the effective use of all available production data is key to a successful "Zero Defect" strategy.The challenge to the Manufacturing Information Technology & Automation department begins with a massive amount of raw data to compute and extends to aggregation, categorization and evaluation of this data to trigger automated online reactions and support efficient engineering analysis.
