About the Conference:

The APC|M Conference offers researchers, developers, manufacturers, suppliers, and members of the scientific community a first‑class platform for exchanging ideas in the fields of advanced process control and manufacturing effectiveness. The focus lies on the optimal use of equipment and machinery as well as energy‑, resource‑ and cost‑efficient production processes. Whether in the production of semiconductors, photovoltaic modules, LEDs, flat‑panel displays, or MEMS – APCM provides valuable networking opportunities, practical know‑how and insights into the latest technologies, enabling strong knowledge and technology transfer among experts.

Our Contribution:

Fabmatics is pleased to participate in APC|M 2026. Our colleague Jan Klinger will speak in the Special Session “Shaping Europe’s Future – Competitive & Sustainable Chip Fabs” with the presentation:

“Automating European Legacy Semiconductor Fabs – Lifespan Expansion Made in Silicon Saxony”

His talk highlights how targeted automation solutions can increase efficiency and competitiveness in European 150 mm and 200 mm legacy fabs, supported by advanced material handling, mini‑environment technologies and digital twins.

Key Topics:

  • Modernization challenges and opportunities in legacy fabs
  • Automation in material identification, transport and tool loading
  • HERO Scout: lithography‑ready cleanroom AMR
  • Test Wafer Center (TWC): fully automated test wafer lifecycle
  • Simulation & digital twin applications
  • Sustainable modernization aligned with the EU Chips Act
