UGPTs in-house generative AI platform for engineers
UMC let engineers build their own generative AI assistants on an in-house platform and estimated large time savings
Problem
Fab engineers spent time on repetitive work such as writing reports and handling abnormal materials, and new engineers needed time to learn.
Approach
UMC built UGPTs, an in-house generative AI platform. It brings fab knowledge together in consistent data formats and terms and connects internal and external systems. Employees build their own assistants for tasks such as process debugging, engineering analysis and abnormal-material handling.
Results
Takeaway
UMC gave engineers a platform to build task assistants themselves. The time savings published so far are estimates, not measured results.
