A SIMUL8 Case Study
Keysight Technologies, a manufacturer of electronics test and measurement equipment, faced the challenge of improving productivity in its complex wafer fabrication facility to meet rising demand during the global chip shortage. They sought to streamline procedures and build a simulation-powered digital twin for ongoing optimization, turning to the vendor SIMUL8 for a simulation solution.
Using SIMUL8, Keysight's engineers created a detailed simulation model of their fabrication line to test changes in a digital environment. This solution identified bottlenecks, optimized job priorities and staffing, and even improved supplier maintenance agreements. The results included an increased return on investment on capital expenditures, a streamlined production priority structure, and a better understanding of critical factors impacting throughput.
