Siemens and GlobalFoundries (GF) have collaborated to enhance the performance of semiconductor manufacturing and advanced industries.
The companies have agreed to focus on automation technologies for semiconductor fabrication (fab automation), electrification, digital solutions and software ranging from chip development to product lifecycle management.
Tim Breen, CEO of GlobalFoundries, said: “Our unique collaboration with Siemens allows us to go faster – to build the technologies that make this possible – differentiated, energy-efficient, connected and secure chips across a wide range of next-generation applications.”
AI-driven manufacturing
The collaboration aims to advance AI-enabled software, sensors and real-time control systems in fab automation.
The collaboration aims to increase equipment availability and operational efficiency in chip production through centralised automation and predictive maintenance.
“Our economy runs on Silicon – one wafer at a time. Chips are critical for applications such as robotics and connectivity, as well as for bringing AI into the physical world and industry. We are collaborating to make global semiconductor supply chains more resilient and to enable efficient localised manufacturing around the world,” said Cedrik Neike, member of the Managing Board of Siemens AG and CEO Digital Industries.
