AI wafer production scheduling in Reutlingen
Bosch used AI to schedule wafers through up to 1,000 processing steps at Reutlingen
Problem
Wafer scheduling required coordinating materials and capacity across many processing steps.
Approach
AI assessed available materials and ordered processing for throughput. Bosch said it determined production sequences entirely in many instances.
Results
No published figures
Takeaway
AI sequenced production using available materials to improve capacity use. Bosch reported time and cost savings without quantifying them.
