挑战
韩国一家半导体设备制造商面临着生产线监控和管理方面的问题。现有系统缺乏高效数据收集、可视化和利用所需的重要功能。个别生产线工人无法快速报告生产问题，而且有关已发生问题的重要信息往往没有记录，导致问题以不可接受的频率重复发生。该公司最关键的需求是确保能够尽可能快速高效地收集、可视化和利用关键数据。
关于客户
客户是一家位于韩国的半导体设备制造商。该公司所处的行业高度专业化，要求产品精度高、注重细节。制造过程在洁净室环境中进行，温度和湿度受到严格控制，尽可能消除可能的污染物。所制造的产品价值极高，生产线出现任何问题都会造成巨大损失。该公司在生产线监控和管理方面面临问题，而生产经理缺乏有关生产线状态和延误具体原因的明确信息，使问题更加严重。
解决方案
为了应对公司的挑战，研华在韩国的 WISE-PaaS 联盟 VIP 合作伙伴 VETEC 在工厂内联网上安装了研华的 WebAccess/SCADA。连接到 WebAccess/SCADA 系统的平板电脑被放置在生产线上的关键位置。还安装了研华的 WISE-4000 无线 I/O 模块，以实时监控关键的洁净室环境信息。WebAccess/SCADA 软件允许将每个生产线工人的生产状态信息直接链接到 SCADA 服务器，从而允许记录、处理和分析生产信息，以全面管理整个工厂的生产状态。该平台充当 Web 服务器，通过与 WebAccess ThinClient 平板电脑的连接，使仪表板显示可供工厂车间的单个生产线工人和经理使用。

Modular AI Defect Inspection Solution for Efficient Semiconductor Equipment Upgrades
Smasoft Technology Co., Ltd., a System Integrator that develops industrial automation software and offers AI application solutions, was commissioned by a semiconductor equipment manufacturer to implement AI inspection features into their Extreme Ultraviolet Light (EUV) pod inspection machines. The existing AOI software in the EUV pod inspection machines could only identify defective products but could not trace the cause of the defects. The manufacturer wanted to upgrade their machines with AI features to make the products more useful. The AI solution needed to complete the analysis of 380 images for a single pod within two minutes and inspect different materials simultaneously. This required multiple sets of AI models for interpretation. The solution also needed to be installed in a cabinet in the lower half of the machines, which posed a challenge due to the limited space. Smasoft needed to purchase a hardware solution with strong computing performance, stable operation, compact size, and flexible configuration to overcome these challenges.

Rapid Hybrid Services Deployment for Global Semiconductor Company
The U.S. manufacturer of engineered materials, optoelectronic components, and semiconductors was focused on growth through mergers and acquisitions (M&As). In 2019–2020, it acquired a global electronics firm and needed immediate connectivity and visibility into the acquired firm’s geo-distributed operations. The company had a highly compressed timeline, with only days to integrate the firm’s DDI operations, while deferring a full network migration to a future date. The company was actively engaged in acquiring and merging strategically aligned companies as a key global growth strategy. The company needed to rapidly integrate its new operations, which included significant remote locations in Asia. The company turned to Infoblox to quickly design a highly secure, available, and reliable solution that could deliver full visibility into new sites. It needed dynamic scalability to accommodate its growing operations and the ability to unify a disparate, geo-diverse infrastructure.

Leveraging Xenko Game Engine for Immersive VR Experiences: A StarBreach Case Study
Silicon Studio, the developer of the open-source cross-platform game engine Xenko, was looking to showcase the impressive graphical capabilities of their product. They aimed to demonstrate the engine's compatibility with VR and its ability to deliver high-quality virtual reality experiences and games. To achieve this, they needed to create a demo game, StarBreach, that would effectively highlight these features. However, they required an experienced art production team that could create high-quality game art for StarBreach. The challenge was not only to create visually appealing assets but also to demonstrate the technological possibilities of the Xenko game engine.
