Embracing Innovation: The Interplay between SEMI Standards and Future Advancements

As we reflect on the historical significance of FA (Factory Automation) in driving the success of 300mm manufacturing, it is essential to examine the intricate relationship between established norms and standards, and the pursuit of innovation. While FA has undoubtedly played a crucial role in shaping the industry’s landscape, the question remains: Are our current approaches sufficient to tackle the emerging challenges?

Through practical examples, I aim to demonstrate the power of innovation and inspire a new wave of thinking. One potential avenue for exploration is open innovation, which could potentially unlock new opportunities for growth and progress. By investigating the interplay between SECS/GEM and innovation, we can uncover fresh insights that will enable us to take the next step forward.

Some potential questions to clarify the topic include: What are the key challenges facing the industry, and how can innovation help address them?
