Semiconductor Cost Reduction Strategies
For emerging semiconductor chip companies, the primary goal is to get products sold and out of the door. However, as chip companies scale, everyone’s attention turns very quickly to lowering costs. It becomes critically important that Operations and Finance work together to achieve strategic goals and to manage costs effectively. To do that, some advance planning can have a significant impact.
Along with a talented financial executive from one of Tensoft’s fabless semiconductor customers, Tensoft CEO Bob Scarborough co-wrote a white paper tackling this topic several years ago. It was published in the Global Semiconductor Alliance’s “Forum” magazine in 2009, under the title “Semiconductor Cost Reduction Strategies.” Some recent discussions with customers and prospective customers re-affirmed the importance of this topic to both Operations and Finance teams.
Astera Labs Case Study
When their production ramp took off, Astera Labs needed an end-to-end ERP solution to support their rapid growth and track inventory at lot level. After evaluating several options, they decided to implement Tensoft SemiOps with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. Recently, Nathan Willems, the Corporate Controller, and Alice Zhang, the AVP of Business Operations at Astera Labs joined us for a video interview to share their experience with Tensoft SemiOps.
What’s So Unique About Semiconductor Manufacturing?
Unlike other manufacturing processes, semiconductor manufacturing is a hybrid of process manufacturing and discrete manufacturing. It adds value to the flow of materials throughout the process and can have multiple outcomes at various stages of production. In most cases, a standard ERP system does not meet the needs that result from this process.
This white paper provides an in-depth understanding of process manufacturing in semiconductor industry – from a systems perspective – with an example.
Panasonic UAS Drone Draft
Unmanned Aerial Systems (UASs) and robots are frequently deployed by military to improve situational awareness, perform recon, and even to deploy emergency rations, ammunitions, or other payloads. A critical part of every military UAS and robot system is the ground-based controller – handheld or laptop-based – that guides devices to where they need to be; collects video, thermal, audio, or other information; and safely returns when their mission has been completed.
This paper examines what goes into a successful UAS deployment, with a particular focus on the considerations for choosing the mobile device at the heart of each controller. It also includes a real-world case study demonstrating the importance of choosing the right mobile device for the job.
How Talk-to-Text Mobile Solutions Can Help Improve Situational Awareness and Reduce Officer Burnout
Public Safety Officers face more stress than nearly any other job, as evidenced by a recent survey in which 80 percent of the officers responding said they would be very unlikely to recommend a career in law enforcement to others. Officers often end busy days by filing reports, frequently long after incidents occurred. The administrative burden coupled with stresses of the day can impact report quality, community service levels, and lead to burnout and other safety issues.
A single incident report can take two hours or more to process. And if reports are filed after the fact, officers also must spend time collecting and organizing evidence, as recalling and documenting incidents from their shift can be a challenge. Learn how talk-to-text mobile solutions can improve stress by helping officers stay productive and aware.
Is Your Company Ready for The Future of Work?
The unexpected arrival of the pandemic in 2020 forced every organization to assemble a patchwork of unplanned workforce responses as many moved to remote-work solutions. Now, every firm faces difficult decisions around what the future of the office — and the future of work — will be. It is now time for organizations to decide where employees can or will work from in the future.
In this environment, leaders must make a series of choices for how to best support their workforce with infrastructure that promotes employee safety, connects a distributed workforce, and fuels distanced collaboration. Document management (DM) strategies are a key enabler the future of work, but organizations must act to ensure these strategies support their employees’ current and future needs.
Forrester predicts that around 60% of organizations will adopt a hybrid future work model, which is defined as at least 10% of employees working in anywhere-work mode at least two days a week. This is similar to how our survey respondents plan to orient their document management strategies.

Mobility Matters: Better Field Service Outcomes through IoT and Predictive Analytics
What’s the real cost of equipment downtime? Not only is it expensive for field service organizations (FSOs) to send a technician for diagnosis and repair (hopefully once), unplanned downtime means a productivity drop for business organizations – lost revenue and expenses that can accumulate quickly. So it’s no surprise that a recent study by Field Technologies found the top two strategic initiatives for FSOs are improving customer satisfaction and increasing efficiency.
This brief discusses how the combination of predictive analytics based on data gathered by IoT sensors and the use of mobile devices combine to reduce unnecessary scheduled maintenance while improving the overall service experience for both FSOs and the organizations they serve.
Why Mobile Tech Matters: Gaining a Competitive Edge for FSOs
Field service organizations (FSOs) rely on mobile technology solutions to stay connected and competitive, whether they provide consumer services for cable & telco, or commercial services maintaining factory machinery or repairing heavy equipment. Whatever their field of business, every FSO feels the impact of modernization trends including augmented reality, digital schematics libraries, diagnostics, advanced analytics, predictive maintenance, new FSO management tools, and more.
This paper looks at how FSOs can stay current and remain competitive by implementing mobile solutions that enable the latest technology and arm techs with tools that increase efficiency, provide better service, and increase customer satisfaction.
