Faster, better with smart factory tools at Micron

Singapore

AMERICAN chipmaker Micron Technology, which makes most of its 3D NAND flash memory output in Singapore, can now launch products here twice as fast - while improving staff productivity by 10 per cent.

That's with the help of smart factory tools such as fully automated wafer testing, done by robots; computer screening of images to detect defects; and joint data analysis, in tandem with original equipment manufacturers, to optimise processes.
