Case Study: a global semiconductor manufacturer saves over 10,000 hours a year with KX Systems

Global leader in materials engineering solutions saves over 10,000 hours a year

A global semiconductor manufacturer faced significant challenges due to the explosion of data in its complex manufacturing operations. With query speeds being too slow, they sought a solution to achieve faster speed to data and a lower total cost of ownership. After evaluating seven different vendors, they selected Kx Systems for its superior performance.

Kx Systems implemented its proprietary KX database, which is built for real-time data use cases. The solution combined a time series architecture with relational database technology, enabling real-time calculations and the ability to manage both streaming and historical data. The results were substantial, including a 10x reduction in hardware footprint, a 50x improvement in query speeds, and an overall savings of over 10,000 hours of processing time per year.
