Global leader in materials engineering solutions saves over 10,000 hours a year

This global leader in materials engineering solutions produces virtually every new chip and advanced display in the world.

Its application is the most comprehensive control and productivity suite in manufacturing. It is powered by technologies that are widely proven and deeply mature in high volume factories worldwide. 

For years, the semiconductor and electronics industries has looked for solutions to solve complex manufacturing problems. A key challenge is the need for faster speed to data. A common complaint is that with the explosion of data, query speeds are too slow and customers want to see improvements in speed to data and total cost of ownership. 

Over a year, 7 vendors were evaluated across 10 different objectives to enhance its application. This was an opportunity to look beyond the scope of traditional databases. Times series databases emerged as the preferred solution.

KX proprietary database is built for real-time data use cases taking advantage of a time series architecture coupled with relational database technology, a programming language to enable real-time calculations in the database, and the ability to manage both streaming and historical data in the same database. KX was selected for its superior performance results on ultra-fast speed to data, lower total cost of ownership, its ability to scale, and new user experience.
