Guaranteed KPI improvements

Flexciton developed Autonomous Scheduling Technology (AST) to empower chip manufacturers to consistently achieve remarkable production results, guaranteed. Traditional schedulers often require a reactive approach of trial and error to achieve KPI improvements. With AST, manufacturers can overcome these challenges to maintain high fab performance confidently and autonomously.

Get consistent KPI improvements

Inconsistent production KPIs impact your fab output and business performance. Our AI-driven scheduling technology ensures consistent throughput improvements whilst reducing cycle times and variability. Unlike legacy schedulers, Flexciton does not require setting up and tuning countless parameters to maintain required performance. By leveraging advanced mathematical optimization, our technology enables optimal decision-making at both tool and fab-wide levels, ensuring your fab’s objectives are met consistently.

Navigate trade-offs with confidence

As fab management’s priorities fluctuate with market conditions, engineers are tasked to configure production schedules to deliver on these dynamic goals. With so many conflicting objectives, this is no easy task. Flexciton allows engineers to visualize and comprehend complex trade-offs between different KPI settings, empowering them to make informed decisions and efficiently manage the delicate balance of cost, quality, and delivery.

Streamline operations, reduce workload

With intelligent algorithms and a closed-loop system, our production schedules always reflect the latest state of your fab—automatically adjusting to shop floor changes like tool downs and planned maintenance. Our pioneering Autonomous Scheduling Technology (AST) eliminates the need for engineers to set up and maintain if-then rules. By autonomously providing optimized schedules, it reduces pressure on highly qualified employees and removes reliance on tribal knowledge.
