ANADIGICS Implements Enterprise Yield Management System Using Syntricity's dataConductor.Com

Posted on: Tuesday, 18 March 2008, 18:00 CDT

Syntricity Inc. announced today that ANADIGICS, Inc., Warren NJ, has successfully implemented an enterprise yield management system using Syntricity's dataConductor™ software suite. The ANADIGICS' system incorporates Syntricity's Advanced Monitoring for Production (AMP™) application and Power User Suite to create an integrated environment for new product introduction and production monitoring. Using AMP, ANADIGICS' executives, managers and engineers are able to generate web-based reports to determine status, identify and resolve potential production issues. For new device characterization and rapid root cause problem identification, engineers easily navigate from AMP to the extensive Power User analytics suite.

Using Syntricity's dataConductor.com Software as a Service (SaaS) delivery model, ANADIGICS directly uploads data from their global supply chain including epi wafer manufacturers, wafer fabrication facilities and assembly, and test suppliers. Several gigabytes of engineering and manufacturing execution system (MES) data is uploaded every day and automatically inserted into a centralized data warehouse, making more than half a terabyte of information immediately available to management and engineers. Accessed through a web browser, dataConductor.com provides companies of all sizes access to a completely manageable, reliable and secure EYM system scalable to 10's of gigabytes per day of uploaded data and multiple terabytes directly accessible on-line.

"ANADIGICS is a data intensive company. With our rapid growth we anticipated the need to substantially enhance our engineering information systems," said Greg Guth, senior director of manufacturing engineering operations. "Working with Syntricity we have been able to quickly implement an EYM system that gives us visibility from wafer supply to final test and substantially improve our yields."

"Syntricity is pleased to collaborate with ANADIGICS in implementing an end-to-end enterprise yield management system. We believe this deployment provides them with a top tier capability that will scale smoothly as they grow," said A.C. D'Augustine, chairman and CEO of Syntricity. "ANADIGICS' use of dataConductor.com reflects their strategic vision and leadership in the RF markets they serve."
