PR Newswire (US)
LIMERICK, Ireland, April 2, 2008 /PRNewswire/ -- Mfg Vision Ltd., a
provider of innovative yield-management solutions to the global
semiconductor industry, today announced that its enterprise yield
management (EYM) system, FloorVision, is generating breakthrough
results at Cirrus Logic (NASDAQ:CRUS). Cirrus Logic selected the
tool in June 2007 for its exceptional performance, reliability and
cost advantages and installed it at the company's Austin, TX
facility. Since then, the system has exceeded expectations in terms
of speed and analytical capabilities. Now, it is handling well over
100 gigabytes of compressed data online with such ultra-fast
processing rates that users virtually have real-time access to
data. Other EYM solutions, in contrast, require engineers to wait
24-to-48 hours before critical data is available on-line. In
addition to the speed breakthrough, the tool has been enhanced with
advanced characterization capabilities and other unique features to
further accelerate ROI. Introduced in 2007, FloorVision empowers
semiconductor manufacturers with a proven new-generation
yield-management solution. With its highly scalable configuration,
this web 2.0-based data-management system integrates Manufacturing
Execution Systems (MES) based reporting, genealogy, semiconductor
fabrication, wafer probe and test data in a seamless flow across
multiple geographies. This means that engineers, managers and
executives can accurately capture critical data, speedily determine
the root cause of product failures, efficiently correlate failures
to process parameters, and quickly disseminate thorough yield
reports to team members and other key decision makers. The result:
reduced downtime from process failures, improved productivity for
product and test engineers, and lower IT costs. "It's gratifying to
see our technology adopted by a company with a stellar reputation
for building high-precision analog and mixed-signal ICs for a broad
range of consumer and industrial markets," said Mfg Vision's chief
executive officer, John O'Donnell. "We're especially pleased that
FloorVision out-ranked competitive offerings in the critical areas
of speed, accuracy and ease-of-use. In fact, since January 2008,
the breakthrough enhancements we added to the Cirrus installation
are generating even faster time-to-yield results. We're proud to
partner with Cirrus Logic and glad to be adding value to their
aggressive yield-management initiatives. Far from resting on our
laurels, we have, since January 2008, provided Cirrus Logic with
new breakthrough enhancements which are resulting in much faster
yield issue resolution." Noting that the purchasing decision
followed a thorough analysis of other offerings on the market,
Cirrus Logic's director of product engineering, Mo Osmany,
commented, "FloorVision has delivered a full solution that Cirrus
Logic needs to manage yields across our broad portfolio of
products. The speed and depth of the analysis and reporting which
it provides, as well as the recent seamless integration into
FloorVision of a flexible and powerful characterization analysis
tool, re-enforces why it was selected after a thorough analysis of
other offerings in the market." Cirrus Logic's director of IT, Tom
Strandwitz also added, "The installation and set-up of FloorVision
was very straightforward and virtually seamless when we brought it
on premise. There was no site visit required by Mfg Vision during
the installation, and the application has been running with minimal
maintenance." About Mfg Vision Ltd. Headquartered in Limerick,
