Process control for full traceability
Our robust proprietary microelectronic manufacturing and process control system ensures real-time organisation wide access to material traceability, inventory management, WIP tracking, SPC, yield reporting and on-time delivery.
Real time throughout and yield tracking
- Displays throughput and yield by process
- Can be filtered by Job, Product, Sequence, Site
- Displayed by Hour/Shift /Day /Week/Month
Control
- Define work flow.
- WIP track individual parts.
- Assemblies must progress through the defined process flow.
- Ensures operators are trained for processes.
- ESD controls are auto-enforced.
Detailed item status
- Parent/child assemblies and sub-assemblies have unique serial numbers for full material control and traceability.
