Smart Machine & Virtual Plant
This OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) is market leader in the semiconductor market and active in the exposure part of the make process.
Industry 4.0, Industrial Internet of Things, Digital Transformation requires them to transform their machines into smart machines. This comes with major challenges as they need to make disruptive changes within their machine and at the same time proof the benefits, assuring production of their customer will not be disrupted.
This use case uses the Smart Industrial Transformation, an holistic model based solution, approach dealing with both challenges for a semiconductor OEM, however it could apply to broad advanced machine industry.
The Challenge
- There are multiple metrology parameters that need to be manage and control in a real-time environment to assure right first time and increase throughput;
- To manage and control those metrology parameters, multiple applications are used that runs on a solution platform;
- In the make process several other 3rd parties are involved creating interoperability and dependencies.
- The quality of managing and controlling the parameters depends on the several process steps in de make process.
- The applications and platform architecture need constant innovation to keep up with the increasing demand of the semicon industry.
The Fab’s demands proof of no disruption of their make process during any changes. - There are multiple metrology parameters that need to be manage and control in a real-time environment to assure right first time and increase throughput;

Solution Approach
The unique Smart Industrial Transformation approach and Models4Insight holistic modelling platform allows to create and manage digital representations of the OEM solution platform.
Digital representation can be created of the different dimensions of, Users, Suppliers and Customers, Processes, Applications, Physical assets, Infrastructures and Data,
Having digital representations makes it possible to see interoperability and dependencies of the different dimensions.
This also give the capability to digitized and integrate the dimensions of the fab, creating a virtual fab for pro-active insight and to shorten time to market.
More specifically:
- Digital representations have been created of the complex control processes of the machine and their dependencies to applications and data for the as-is and the to-be situation;
- Dependencies and conflicts based on the digital representations can be derived before actually making changes or re-architecture the machine and its applications.
With this you can visualize the ‘As-Is’ and the ‘To-Be’ situation, and do scenario play and impact analysis to manage architecture, integration, transformation and deployment.

Our Services
Our assessment framework is uniquely tailored for Industry 4.0, Industrial Internet of Things, and Digital transformation. It is supported by a Smart Industrial Transformation approach, based on holistic modelling.
Our Smart Industrial Transformation based roadmap framework is a holistic model based framework uniquely tailored for Industry 4.0, Industrial Internet of Things and Digital transformation.
It is the only solution that brings alive your strategy, by digitizing it. This is a key advantage as strategy is a constant iteration, while communication and execution are key.
Our Smart Industrial Transformation based roadmap framework is a holistic modelled framework uniquely tailored for Industry 4.0, Industrial Internet of Things and Digital transformation.
It is the only solution that brings alive your roadmap by digitizing it. With this you are in constant control, able to manage the uncertainty and have maximal agility during the journey.
The roadmap framework is typically used to get insight and input:
• To align Users, Suppliers and Customers, Processes, Applications, Physical assets, Infrastructures and Data dimensions;
• To understand the impact and execution of your roadmap items;
• for insight on impacts of roadmap items;
• for your IT-OT (Information Technology – Operational Technology) Architecture;
• for roadmap agility;
By using our unique Smart Industrial Transformation architecture framework we make sure that your architecture will be at the life cycle management level to meet Industry 4.0. IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) and Digital transformation requirements
It is the only solution that is able to integrate and digitize the different dimensions of, Users, Suppliers and Customers, Processes, Applications, Physical assets, Infrastructures and Data, needed for Industry 4.0 architecture. This brings your architecture alive, enabling you to constantly control, manage the uncertainty and have maximal agility during your transformation journey.
The architecture framework is typically used to design and manage:
- IT-OT architecture in general, incl. impact analysis;
- Specific RAMI 4.0 (Reference Architecture Model Industrie 4.0);
- Digitized System Architecture Transformation – Architecture and application redesign of OEM machines;
- Smart Manufacturing (data) architecture with advanced analytics capabilities;
- And deployment of IT-OT architecture.
By using our unique Smart Industrial Transformation deployment framework we make sure that your deployment will be better, smarter and faster.
It is the only solution that is able to integrate and digitize the different dimensions of, Users, Suppliers and Customers, Processes, Applications, Physical assets, Infrastructures and Data, needed for best in class transformation deployments.
The basis is the ability to create digitized templates, which brings your templates alive and enables you to constantly control, manage the uncertainty and have maximal agility during your deployment journey.
The digitized transformation template is typically used to manage the deployment of:
- Global (MES) applications;
- IT-OT architecture in general as well as more specifically RAMI 4.0 (Reference Architecture Model Industrie 4.0);
- Digitized System Architecture Transformation – Architecture and application deployment of OEM machines;
- Horizontal and Vertical integrated value chains.
