AI for the Operator: Transforming Semiconductor Facilities
Wednesday, October 15th 2025
Live Online Webinar
The semiconductor industry is at a pivotal moment. AI is not only fuelling chip demand worldwide, it is also becoming essential to streamlining production inside fabs. This creates a cyclical pressure: fabs must adopt AI to keep pace with the very demand that AI itself is driving.
But adoption raises critical questions:
- What are suppliers doing with AI today, and what new opportunities will it create?
- How do you implement AI to enhance existing processes without disrupting what already works?
- How much human oversight is needed to supervise, train, and guide these systems?
- Which AI use cases are realistic and which are still hype?
In this exclusive pre-conference webinar, we will bring together technology providers and early adopters from across the semiconductor supply chain to explore:
- Decision making power: how machine learning and digital twins give operators and engineers faster, data driven insights
- Empowering the workforce: how technicians, engineers, and data scientists are being trained to use AI tools in real time
- Testing grounds: how data platforms act as sandboxes to validate AI before implementation within fabs
This is your chance to see what fabs are testing, the key challenges they face, and how suppliers are shaping the next wave of AI driven facility innovation.
Register now to be part of the conversation.
