There’s a perfect storm brewing, one that will descend on rural suburbs across the US and Europe. Fab’s need to grow capacity by factors up to 2X, meanwhile, data centers have even greater expansion plans in these same markets, where the resources are plentiful and economical. Who’s going to fill all of these roles to keep the lights on and production flowing? How can fab’s compete with data centers, especially hyperscale players with high performance equity?
Enter Augmented Reality (AR), a tool introduced to us as consumers via SnapChat and Pokemon Go, but has also been maturing as an Industrial tool, extending the digital thread all the way to the workers. Aerospace & Defense, Medical Equipment and some of the major Industrials have spearheaded these programs and are now scaling across their operational enterprises. AR immersive experiences have been proven to: Reduce new employee onboarding by 50%. When you truly experience it, you get it. Enable 100% remote training, including certification on tasks and credential attainment. Enable OTJ learning, where onsite workers can be leveraged for cross-functional tasks without hesitation. Ensure a 0% error rate, with traceability and insights for continuous improvement. Increase employee satisfaction and sustainable workforce.
Thus, a new paradigm of learning, comprehension, confidence and insights can be leveraged to go farther, faster with less human capital required onsite.
This session will inform participants on the following topics: What exactly is (and is not) AR as applicable to a manufacturing workforce? Examples of immersive training, especially when assets are difficult to access. Examples of guided work procedures and digital checklists. What is the AR deployment baseline within the Semiconductor domain? Reference from Intel Reference from Micron Reference from < OEM > Reference from < component supplier >
What Semi initiatives complement this rapidly evolving topic? Workforce Development Building Information Modeling (BIM) for Semiconductor Capital Equipment Task Force What are the keys to introducing and scaling AR, realizing sustainable value across an operation and organization?
