Quick heads up to everybody: I will be attending Semicon West in October in San Francisco, CA. I’m honored to represent Accenture in my talk on the SEMI Smart Manufacturing stage: Humanoid Robots and Dexterous Manipulators as Enablers of Automation in Legacy200mm/150mm Wafer Fabs during this session: a couple of other very interesting talks will…… Continue reading Semicon West 2026

Automation Maturity for Legacy FABs

June 18, 2026June 18, 2026 Leave a comment

Fresh out of the last SEMI meeting for the Smart Manufacturing Chapter – I like to share a short update. In today’s manufacturing and automation world there is hardly any article not talking about AI, AI Agents, and how we will eventually achieve full autonomy. The way to that ultimate goal is a long journey…… Continue reading Automation Maturity for Legacy FABs
