In semiconductor factory systems, Machine Control (MC), Material Control Systems (MCS), in addition to control software that receives information such as; SCM, ERP and MES are established by default. The recent economic downturn has taken a toll on industries such as construction and are hesitant to expand their plants, leading to hesitation to maximize the efficiency of the existing plants. While the Facility Analysis System (FDC), Yield Management System (YMS) and the Recipe Management System (RMS) based on the engineering systems and the importance of efficiency is increasing.

In the field of production and engineering systems, error analysis and quality improvement is necessary. For example, hundreds of wafer defects during the production process are pinpointed and the system tells where, and how to find out what the cause of the error, removes the equipment and resolves the problem.

In addition, MES produces a real-time production system with visibility and secures collaboration for the expanding the user’s abilities. MES is connected on the web and can directly show production orders to build business-to-business integration and cooperation. The MES data provided by the production SCM and ERP is reflected as a major company identity. “Customer collaboration and packaging are linked with MES management requirements, as well as integrated logistics.”

Standards for integration and standardization information management (MDM) are important for automation products and components for advanced technology, equipment, customers, partners and manufacturing; all these are essential for integration and enhancing the MDM system.
