    Semiconductor Semiconductor
     Semiconductor manufacturing is one of the most complex manufacturing processes in the world. It is also one on the most productive, with 60 million transmitters for every worldwide person being produced each year. The semiconductor manufacturing process is extremely susceptible to power quality events, especially sags, surges and overvoltage/undervoltage events. These events can impact product quality, resulting in scrapped product and sizeable revenue loss. The semiconductor industry was one of the first to recognize these impacts and employ power monitoring to minimize damage.

    Benefits of Power Monitoring

    Proactive management of power resources: The continuous capture of all events enables users to develop trend lines and algorithms to maintain real-time illustrations of infrastructure performance and improve reliability, while automated alerting sends alarms to power managers before problems occur.

    Preventive and predictive maintenance: Identifying pattern changes facilitates better planning of maintenance activities and avoid interruptions of critical business practices, while analyzing system data allows “just-in-time” maintenance procedures to be developed and implemented.

    Early detection of problems: Problems can be detected before they cause damage through benchmarking that sends “alerts” when conditions begin to deteriorate. For contract negotiation, monitoring data documents power quality and demand for utilities or energy services providers.

    Troubleshooting: Power monitoring instrumentation has been designed to help identify the nature and severity of power quality problems to prevent them from recurring. Automated software pinpoints the location, magnitude and duration of events to quickly remedy harmful situations.

    Products & Services for Semiconductor
    Handheld and Portable Instruments: Typically used for troubleshooting or forensic investigation of power quality problems, these instruments can be brought into the field and used to collect information on an as-needed basis. Dranetz’s weather-resistant packaging enables users to leave instruments in the field for long-term monitoring and studies.

    Power Quality Software: Interpreting power monitoring data can be an overwhelmingly complex and time-consuming task. Dranetz prides itself on having the most user-friendly power quality software on the market.
    Power Quality Audits: Modern power systems are highly complex. To ensure reliable performance they require consideration of all issues, problems, causes and potential solutions. The PQAudit identifies and addresses all aspects of power quality, such as harmonic distortion, low voltage, voltage sags, wiring and grounding, and poor power factor.
