Emcore replaces legacy systems with Camstar Semiconductor Suite
Manufacturing software developer, Camstar Systems, US, reveals that compound semiconductor supplier, Emcore, US, is to replace several of its legacy manufacturing systems with the Camstar Enterprise Platform for semiconductor manufacturing.
The so-called Semiconductor Suite includes Manufacturing Execution (MES) software to ensure efficient manufacturing and Quality Management software for monitoring fabrication.
According to Camstar, the platform will simplify system complexities inherent in running Emcore's wafer and cell processing, and assembly, test and panel manufacturing.
“With Camstar we can replace a multitude of disparate applications with a single, flexible platform,” said Mike Brown, vice president of Information Technology for EMCORE. “We will simplify the IT architecture and reduce support efforts, while improving our flexibility and responsiveness to change.”
“Camstar's Enterprise Manufacturing platform provides [the] industry [with] more agility, enabling rapid product builds based on specific customer requirements while insuring rigourous quality standards are met,” said Rob Rudder, executive vice president for Camstar. “We look forward to helping Emcore deploy a modern and flexible manufacturing infrastructure that better meets the needs of their expanding business.”
The Enterprise platform promises to rapidly implement a manufacturing execution and quality system for maximum return-on-investment, increasing yields by building quality into processes.
According to Camstar, the system easily integrates with business systems and shop floor equipment and eliminates the cost and risk of ageing systems.
