Demand for chips and semiconductors is rising. Particularly in view of advancing digitization, modern and efficient semiconductor factories therefore play an essential role in shaping the future.
But what will the semiconductor factory of tomorrow look like in concrete terms? What challenges will the players involved have to face? And what are the basics for successful implementation of fast track projects?
This and much more was discussed by over 600 industry experts at the 17th Silicon Saxony Day in Dresden on June 21, 2023. The event is one of the most important high-tech and networking events in Europe, and Drees & Sommer was there together with our partners Industrie Consulting Strobl and CRC - Clean Room Consulting GmbH.
In addition to exciting discussions, numerous keynote speeches provided interesting material for discussion. Fact is: The omnipresent demographic, climate and resource-related challenges are also making themselves felt in the semiconductor industry. In this context, the industry is facing two central challenges:
- There is a shortage of highly qualified specialists: Complex manufacturing requires well-trained professionals in electronics, materials science and engineering.
- Water-intensive process: Semiconductor manufacturing requires large amounts of water. Securing water supplies is a major challenge for both existing and planned fabs.
Semiconductor fabs play an enormously important role in shaping the future of technology and society as a whole. Drees & Sommer, as an innovation leader, drives this progress forward together with our cooperation partners in the semiconductor industry. Our high-tech experts have experience in the latest and international semiconductor and high-tech large-scale projects.The customer benefits from a profound know-how along the entire process. From site selection and planning to realization and commissioning - everything from a single source.
In addition, the use of digital tools such as BIM and lean methods can ensure the successful implementation of fast-track projects.
