To address talent shortages and surging demand, including for new automotive devices, GlobalFoundries’ Fab 7 in Singapore implemented over 60 4IR use cases to tackle increasing process complexity, meet more stringent quality requirements and accelerate prototype development. The site built a holistic transformation team, partnering with AI vendors and universities across four impact areas: machine learning-based predictive maintenance; remote support enablement; machine learning-powered quality control; and workflow digitalization. As a result, labour productivity improved by 40% and new product introduction prototyping time improved by 30%.
