Presentation Title
Dynamic Simulation Enabled Digital Twins as a Critical Enabler of the AI-Driven Autonomous Factory of the Future
Abstract
In the AI-Driven Autonomous Factory of the Future as propagated by SEMI, both AI techniques and Digital Twins play an important role for capacity planning and WIP flow optimization. As an essential empowering technology of Digital Twins, stochastic simulation is used to portray the dynamic behaviour of Semiconductor Manufacturing facilities and to enable essential use cases such as the analysis of time link constraints and their impact on capacity and cycle time. How this has been successfully realised will be showcased through the benefits that have been achieved by Globalfoundries with the deployment and application of the D-SIMCON Dynamic Capacity and Material Flow Performance (DCMF) Planner. The presentation will also elaborate how the AI-Driven Autonomous Factory of the Future can be enabled by making use of fab simulation for pro-actively training AI models such as Reinforcement Learning based optimisation agents which is currently being piloted in another wafer fab.
