Product: xPump by Einnosys
Client: A leading Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company
Industry: Semiconductor Manufacturing
The client, a top-tier semiconductor manufacturer, relied heavily on the EH1200FX Mechanical Booster Pump to maintain production efficiency. This pump plays a critical role in ensuring the smooth operation of their vacuum processes, an essential component in semiconductor fabrication.
However, several operational challenges were impeding their productivity:
Unplanned Downtime: The lack of predictive maintenance capabilities often resulted in sudden pump failures, halting production unexpectedly.
Manual Monitoring: Maintenance teams relied on routine inspections and manual data analysis, leading to inefficiencies and delayed responses to potential issues.
High Maintenance Costs: Reactive maintenance led to increased costs due to frequent repairs and unoptimized maintenance schedules.
Reduced Pump Lifespan: Operating the pump without real-time insights contributed to wear and tear, shortening its operational lifespan.
The client needed a robust, AI-driven solution to address these issues, improve operational efficiency, and minimize unplanned downtime.
