CASE STUDY FOR MANUFACTURING

+ Overview

AltibaseAltibase is provider of In-Memory database solutions for real-time access, analysis and distribution of high volumes of data in mission-critical environments.

BISTelBISTel is South Korea’s leading semiconductor chip manufacturer that specializes in equipment engineering system (ESS) solutions.

SummaryAltibase helped BISTel to produce precise products, increase quality and yield, while decreasing scrap.

In-Memory Database Solution

+ ProblemsBISTel suffered from inadequate quality control. The core issue was the inability to track defects and change requirements in real-time. Data was stored on multiple database management systems (DBMS), which perpetuated BISTel’s incapacity to monitor and react to these issues. With latency issues, the automated system could not pinpoint the imperfections1.

Numerous workstations relying on multiple databases led to substantial performance degradation, triggering uncontainable defects.

Vital quality protocols were breached due to delay in processing product composition data.

The increase of customer demand caused further erosion in quality control, prompting unmanageable blows to profitability and reputation.

In-Memory Database Solution1) The ability to detect even the slightest flaw in the assembly line is vital to the quality control process.

+ Solution BISTel implemented ALTIBASE’s HDB in-memory DBMS in 20061.

ALTIBASE HDB captured defective data in real-time and alerted BISTel’s quality control personnel to take immediate action at the time of occurrence2. The deployment took only three months, two months for application development and one month for performance tuning3.

In-Memory Database Solution

1) BISTel deployed the ALTIBASE HDB hybrid technology (in-memory and on-disk) on an 8-core HP Superdome Serve in a stand-alone configuration.

2) BISTel’s quality control personnel received defective data in real-time on a micro-level per product.

3) Prior to implementing ALTIBASE’s HDB, BISTel’s legacy system’s processing speed was about 80ms per transaction. With ALTIBASE HDB, BISTel was able to lower their transaction speeds to 3ms per transaction, achieving a performance boost of ~2700%.

+ Results Precise product manufacturing processes increased quality and

yield, while decreasing scrap. BISTel’s revenue, profit and reputation are backed by their

superior products. Customer satisfaction, loyalty, and attraction are maximized. ALTIBASE HDB enabled BISTel to increase productivity by 27-fold.

In-Memory Database Solution

+ Technical Details BISTel achieved outstanding results with its Equipment Engineering System

(EES) Framework by leveraging the key features of ALTIBASE HDB, specifically in the areas of high-performance, application development and data integration.

BISTel’s Equipment Engineering Systems (EES) are commonly used in semiconductor and flat panel display manufacturing. EES gathers data for semiconductor manufacturing equipment and analyses it according to production plans, scheduling, operation status, and other dimensions. The role of BISTel’s EES framework is to feed data to the EES.

BISTel needed to speed up the manufacturing process to improve product quality, and reduce error rates.

BISTel’s technical objective was to manage the increasing amount of data to control semiconductor manufacturing equipment, provide real-time monitoring and analysis, and to seamlessly link the Equipment Engineering data with the EE application.

In the core of the EES framework there was a conventional on-disk RDBMS for data management. However, the on-disk DBMS did not have the capacity to process large volumes of data in real-time. This was the main requirement for the EES framework allowing for increased speed in the overall manufacturing process.

BISTel decided to design a system using ALTIBASE HDB in the In-Memory only mode as the front to the on-disk Oracle DBMS. In this architecture, ALTIBASE HDB was used for the processing and analysis of large volumes of data at extreme speeds whereas the on-disk Oracle DBMS was used for managing historical data that did not require real-time processing power.

BISTel also implemented an In-house Data Integration (IDI) tool to synchronize data between ALTIBASE HDB In-Memory DBMS and Oracle on-disk DBMS. ALTIBASE HDB’s real-time performance remained constant even when its workload also required data synchronization tasks to another database.

ALTIBASE HDB as a full-featured and standards-compliant DBMS also made it easy for BISTel to implement this new system by allowing BISTel application developers to work with industry standard connectivity interfaces and familiar programming languages. Using JDBC, Java and standard SQL, BISTel application developers implemented and deployed the EES Framework within 2 months.
