Semiconductor Backend + Any Manufacturing

Operational Intelligence Without Human Dependency.

LotNavigator autonomously records where each lot was, when it moved, and where it arrived — without human input or dependence on MES.

It continuously correlates movement, dwell time, handling, and environmental exposure to monitor process conformance, productivity, and quality conditions in real time — enabling earlier detection of deviations and risk.

Manufacturing visibility ends at the machine.

You monitor yield, equipment uptime, and test results — but lot movement between stations remains largely invisible. That gap introduces hidden dwell variance, handling inconsistency, and delayed deviation detection.

Unexplained dwell variance

Lots stall between steps with limited visibility into where time is truly spent.

Delayed awareness

Abnormal exposure and stagnation often surface late — after impact compounds.

Manual dependence

Operator updates and spot checks don’t scale across high-mix backend flow.

Missing lot incidents

Lots can go “missing” between stations or racks, forcing urgent searches, rework, and schedule disruption.

Operational intelligence anchored in Physical Truth™.

Many manufacturing environments rely on reported data, manual entries, or retrospective logs. LotNavigator captures physical movement and dwell directly from the production floor — forming a continuous operational memory grounded in Physical Truth™.

Physical Truth™ is the measurable reality of movement, dwell, handling, and exposure. When you can trust the physical record, you can strengthen process conformance, improve throughput predictability, and surface risk earlier — with fewer blind spots.

MES-agnostic by design — and capable even without an installed MES.

LotNavigator can run alongside modern MES environments, or operate independently in crude and local industries where no MES exists. It focuses on the physical layer: movement and dwell captured as Physical Truth™.

Dimension MES / Transaction-Based Visibility LotNavigator / Movement-Based Physical Truth™
Source of truth System transactions, dispatch logs, operator inputs Physical movement + dwell captured directly on the floor
Real-time gap Visibility can lag between transactions and stations Continuous movement awareness between stations and zones
Human dependency Often depends on scanning, logging, or confirmations Autonomous capture — no operator action required
MES requirement Requires an installed MES to exist and function MES-agnostic; works with MES or without any MES
Operational outcome Good for planned control and compliance records Strengthens conformance monitoring, dwell control, and early deviation detection

Note: This is not positioned as “replace MES.” LotNavigator complements MES by adding a physical movement layer — Physical Truth™ — that most transaction-based systems cannot continuously observe.

System Architecture Overview

LotNavigator is a movement-based intelligence layer. Edge devices capture Physical Truth™ on the production floor, publish events, and build an operational memory that can run alongside MES or independently when no MES exists.

From physical movement → operational intelligence

Edge (anchors + lot modules) detect zone transitions and dwell. The system publishes event records (e.g., zone enter/exit, dwell, stability) to the intelligence layer. The dashboard then presents conformance, dwell discipline, and deviation risk — grounded in Physical Truth™.

  • MES-agnostic: integrates with MES when available
  • No-MES capable: operates standalone for crude/local industries
  • Event-driven: movement-triggered updates, not manual scans

The physical layer — engineered edge devices.

The LotNavigator™ 1000 Series Platform combines a disciplined physical layer with a structured intelligence layer. The goal is simple: capture Physical Truth™ reliably, without creating new operator workflow.

The intelligence layer — a polished view of Physical Truth™.

LotNavigator converts movement and dwell into structured operational signals. Below is an example of a test operations flow: The dashboard is designed for clarity: where lots are, how long they stayed, whether movement matches expected flow, and what requires attention.

The UI is a lens. The foundation is Physical Truth™ — the objective movement and dwell record captured at the edge.

Flow conformance

Detect unexpected zone sequences and highlight where flow deviates from baseline patterns.

Dwell discipline

Surface abnormal dwell variance early, before delays cascade and investigations become reactive.

Operational confidence

Clear state signals grounded in Physical Truth™ — not assumptions or late transaction logs.

Quantify the cost of invisible movement.

Small dwell variance across many lots becomes large operational impact. Use this simulation as a starting point.

Directional model for demo only. Pilot baselines should be computed from Physical Truth™ movement + dwell records.
