It is time. The pressure is on and\nthe technologies and approaches to succeed have arrived. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Smart Manufacturing is the\nelement of Industry 4.0 that digitalizes the manufacturing process to ensure\ncontinuous improvement. It is a key digital enterprise thread for consistent,\nhigh yield processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Smart Manufacturing connects\nthe entire manufacturing process lifecycle. This spans well beyond traditional\nmanufacturing execution systems (MES) and their track and trace functions \u2013 and\neven well beyond the most modern semiconductor MES capabilities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Smart Manufacturing ties all\nMES functions together with fab, line and automation design using simulation to\ntest options and optimize processes and production outcomes. It includes\nmanufacturing and production planning and scheduling. It also feeds sensor data\nfrom equipment and other industrial internet of things (IIoT) equipped devices\ninto analytics systems for historical, current and future predictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The latest release delivers an enhanced user experience and a responsive framework.

The time to act is growing short. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As with any digital strategy, success typically\nrests on having a very clear business benefit. Pinpointing what matters most to\nthe success of the company and its manufacturing is the starting point for\nSmart Manufacturing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the high degree of automation, it may be\ndifficult to envision what could be \u201csmarter\u201d at the manufacturing operations\nlevel. Other industries are changing their production approaches to best\nleverage the intelligence at every level. They won\u2019t look like your fabs or\nback-ends, but they may reveal some very interesting and applicable ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a time of exciting opportunities, but\nonly by challenging the status quo can companies fully benefit fully from them.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to learn more? Siemens Opcenter Execution Semiconductor replaces legacy and siloed manufacturing systems that haven\u2019t kept pace with demanding and ever-changing requirements of semiconductor manufacturing. With Siemens Opcenter Execution Semiconductor, manufacturers are no longer hindered by islands of automation and disjointed systems; now they can innovate, adapt and succeed. Manufacturers choosing Siemens Opcenter Execution Semiconductor are up and running quickly, and are assured that the application can grow and adapt with their businesses.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.plm.automation.siemens.com\/global\/en\/products\/manufacturing-operations-center\/camstar-semiconductor-suite.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Learn more about Siemens Opcenter Execution Semiconductor.
