SmartSched

SmartSched is the semiconductor industry’s first short-interval predictive scheduling solution. It enables real-time evaluation of dynamic fab conditions to optimize wafer throughput, shorten delivery times, reduce operating costs and boost revenue. SmartSched uses proprietary predictive algorithms to continually evaluate data from multiple manufacturing and plant floor systems—upstream and downstream. It produces up-to-the-minute production schedule updates that reflect changing delivery priorities.
