Patent ID: 8775148

Claim:
A system comprising: a plurality of sensors for sensing aspects of a semiconductor manufacturing system; a neural network enabled controller for controlling the operation of semiconductor manufacturing system components to schedule processing of one or more semiconductor workpieces, the neural network for receiving data from the plurality of sensors and effecting, through a finite state machine, a determination of changes in physical states of the semiconductor manufacturing system components; and a graphical user interface that displays a real time three-dimensional model of changes in the physical state of the semiconductor manufacturing system components, wherein the real time three-dimensional model includes one or more objects that are correlated to an inventory containing data about a physical inventory of the semiconductor manufacturing system components, the real time three-dimensional model being responsive to data, from the finite state machine, indicating changes in the physical state of the semiconductor manufacturing system components, from the plurality of sensors and configured to show real time changes in conditions of the one or more objects during at least processing of the one or more semiconductor workpieces.
