Semiconductor 4.0 leverages RFID to reap significant ROI

Semiconductor manufacturing firms are leveraging ERP ecosystem with RFID technology to gain high returns by increasing efficiency and reducing waiting time. Real-time data collection shared with connected resources like workers, machines, materials, etc., facilitates effective on-demand resource utilization and has a positive impact on the system’s performance.

Freescale Semiconductors partnered with AeroScout to design an efficient, cost-effective solution for tracking thousands of wafer lots via Wi-Fi enabled RFID tags which improved retrieval and delivery time by 82% and 13% respectively. Service providers have immense opportunity to capitalize the ~$30 Bn semiconductor investment as manufacturers are outsourcing digital solutions to SPs who have the ability and expertise to develop strong ERP systems with RFID and other digital manufacturing solutions.
