In this episode, recorded live at SEMICON Europa in Munich, Françoise von Trapp continues her conversations with the keynote speakers on helping to build Europe’s technical sovereignty, and how implementing digital twins can help achieve this goal. 

John Behnke, of Inficon, discussed the evolution of smart manufacturing in the semiconductor industry. He highlighted how smart software can increase factory productivity by 5-15% by making autonomous decisions based on digital twins. You’ll learn about Behnke’s vision for the Smart Control Room. 

Catherine Le Lan, Synopsys, emphasized the need for collaboration between academia and industry to address the talent shortage, suggesting cross-disciplinary education and early branding of microelectronics. 

Katharina Westrich, Siemens, explained how digital twins optimize factory planning, reduce emissions, and train workforce remotely, envisioning a future where virtual and real-world operations are seamlessly integrated.
