Emcore replaces legacy systems in fab and backend with Camstar semiconductor suite

Software provider Camstar Systems Inc of Charlotte, NC, USA says that Emcore Corp of Albuquerque, NM, USA, which makes components, subsystems and systems for the fiber-optic and solar power markets, will replace multiple legacy manufacturing systems with the Camstar Enterprise Platform, which includes manufacturing execution (MES), quality management, statistical process control (SPC) etc. The solution should simplify system complexities inherent in running Emcore’s wafer and cell processing, and assembly, test and panel manufacturing.

“Emcore’s customers rely on our leading photovoltaic technology to power critical space operations,” says Emcore VP & general manager Brad Clevenger. “Camstar will enable us to more rapidly deliver customized products that meet their exacting requirements, and continuously improve business performance through streamlined operations,” he adds.

“With Camstar we can replace a multitude of disparate applications with a single, flexible platform,” notes Mike Brown, Emcore’s VP of information technology. “We will simplify the IT architecture and reduce support efforts, while improving our flexibility and responsiveness to change,” he adds.

“My prior experience with Camstar gives me confidence that this implementation will be rapid and successful,” comments Lawson Hise, IT Manager, Software Development for Emcore.

“Camstar’s Enterprise Manufacturing platform provides industry leaders like Emcore more agility, enabling rapid product builds based on specific customer requirements while insuring their rigorous quality standards are met,” states Camstar executive VP Rob Rudder.
