Athinia platform enables limitless analytics capabilities, including sophisticated AI and machine learning frameworks.
Cambridge, MA, USA, July 11, 2023 – Today, Athinia announced that its industry-wide many-to-many data ecosystem to accelerate digital transformation and further enable cutting-edge AI is being adopted by more organizations globally. Tokyo Electron Limited (TEL;TYO:8035), a leading capital equipment manufacturer of cutting-edge semiconductor production equipment and technical service will use Athinia as a key solution to accelerate its digital and cloud transformation.
In the light of rapidly increasing complexity of semiconductor manufacturing, companies aim to focus time and resources on parameters that matter the most. Finding and interpreting the right parameters is key. Athinia’s data analytics platform offers a single source of truth for real-time information between fabs and equipment, fueling a deeper understanding of how the equipment operates; enabling strengthened equipment performance, higher throughput, improved uptime, and optimized predictive maintenance; and driving greater value for TEL’s customers.
“Bringing equipment manufacturers, material suppliers, and device makers together in one data ecosystem provides a holistic view of in-fab performance that can help solve difficult to resolve issues and ultimately improve cost of ownership,” said Laura Matz, CEO of Athinia and Chief Science and Technology Officer of Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany. “Adding a fab equipment leader to the platform will enhance the data analytics capabilities and create significant value for the entire industry.”
By granting access to limitless analytics capabilities, including sophisticated AI and machine learning frameworks, the Athinia platform enables the participants in the semiconductor industry to differentiate based on quality, performance, and time to market. Feedback is provided in real time. Powered by Palantir, the platform allows users to structure and analyze data from disparate sources, generate powerful insights, and support operational decisions, all while helping to ensure that sensitive data is processed in accordance with applicable data privacy rules, regulations, and norms.
Noritaka Yokomori, General Manager, Digital Design Center, Corporate Innovation Division, Tokyo Electron Ltd., stated: “Athinia is helping us accelerate our digital transformation efforts and bring our solutions to the cloud, enabling a faster, more comprehensive support model for our customers, adding to our family of applications, and bringing additional value to the industry. We are delighted to work with them and proactively raise the bar for what customers can expect from their equipment manufacturers.”
