The Stanford Manufacturing Science program provides information on its programmable and virtual factory, and manufacturing automation framework research. In high-technology industries, language has special meaning fir its users and becomes a convenient tool for referring to programs, processes, products or technologies that can be extremely complex. Protocol is designed to allow the sharing of data throughout the semiconductor supply chain.
Information is mapped into common data elements that can be routed and utilized wherever required.
The aim of the project LogiMont is to support the improvement of logistical processes especially in the area of assembly, final test and packaging of semiconductor manufacturing. Therefore a simulation aided planning tool has to be developed which allows the usage of dynamic simulation in distributed project groups during the whole life cycle of a plant. The research activities of the chair focus on the performance evaluation of distributed communication systems. Digital Equipment Corporation. Hewlett Packard Company.
