IC Engineering is developing the Internet of Things for multiple semiconductor fabs within their HQ Great Oaks Campus. Hundreds of semiconductor tools and production facilities relying on multiple SCADA monitoring systems with hundreds of PLCs required our expertise.

IC Engineering has streamlined two distinct SCADA systems to effectively control the entire campus utility distribution and HVAC control center. By following a strategic Internet of Things (IOT) methodology of tool-based notification, the system now alerts operators to avoid producing defective wafers.

IC Engineering’s custom design solution will avert material losses and time-to-market delays which will save the company an estimated $25 million year over year.
