Case Study: Hemlock Semiconductor achieves $1M in projected opportunities and 1,000x faster processing with TIBCO Software

Hemlock Semiconductor Manufactures Success with TIBCO Connected Intelligence

Hemlock Semiconductor, a global producer of polycrystalline silicon, faced rising commoditization in the solar industry and needed tighter cost control and higher quality while scaling after double‑digit growth. The company’s legacy systems and information silos slowed decision‑making, limited visibility into operations, and created process bottlenecks; Hemlock also required a hybrid integration solution to replace numerous point‑to‑point ERP and plant connections and enable new data‑driven use cases.

Hemlock implemented the TIBCO Connected Intelligence platform—including Spotfire, Streaming, Data Science, Virtualization, and BusinessWorks—to deliver self‑service, real‑time analytics and modern integration. The solution unlocked multi‑year data analysis, fostered cross‑team collaboration, and generated over $1M in projected opportunities, reduced record processing by 1,000x, and made analytics accessible in seconds while improving process, energy, and supplier insights.
