Semiconductor lifecycle management: Overcoming fragmentation and boosting digitalization
As one of the most innovative industries, semiconductors drive the adoption of new technologies such as 5G, Artificial Intelligence and AR/VR and are critical to the success of many of today’s consumer products.
With demand for integrated circuits (ICs) soaring, the future of this industry appears bright. However, chipmakers find themselves hindered by external challenges like current supply chain volatility, chip shortages, technical debt, fragmentation and security concerns. Internally, chip developers struggle with the need for more computing power that is densely packed into increasingly smaller semiconductor surface space.
So how do chipmakers overcome the issues to reach full potential? Watch this on-demand webinar to learn how.
Semiconductor lifecycle management innovation enables end-to-end traceability and real-time visibility
In today's volatile market, chipmakers need an end-to-end connection throughout the entire semiconductor lifecycle to provide complete traceability and answers to existing security concerns. Having access to digital solutions that provide control and real-time visibility across processes and platforms will overcome obvious and unforeseen issues to better meet the growing semiconductor demand.
Lifecycle management software enhances the manner in which manufacturers manage change, execute work processes, drive quality, and communicate with external suppliers and customers. The strategy of centralizing technical information and keeping it accessible and up-to-date enables knowledge workers to be more productive and achieve greater levels of performance.
