Specialized Semiconductor Manufacturing Plants

By atesmeh | May 2, 2013

Enterprise Manufacturing Execution System (MES) essential for top quality and rapid growth of government-secured and sensitive semiconductor devices.

Rochester Electronics (Newburyport, MA) is deploying Camstar Systems’ Semiconductor Suite — an industry-specific version of Camstar’s Enterprise Manufacturing Execution System (MES) Platform — in its new assembly, test and packaging manufacturing facilities that replace formerly outsourced manufacturing. Rochester Electronics produces medical, aerospace and government-secured as well as other sensitive semiconductor devices. Camstar’s MES is essential to ensure top quality, quick turn operations and a solid manufacturing systems foundation for rapid growth of the business.

“Our growing in-house capabilities offer rapid delivery, high quality, exceptional value and fully compliant products for our customers,” said Paul Gerrish, President of Rochester Electronics. “We made the strategic decision to implement Camstar across all of our facilities in order to establish an MES platform that will support Rochester Electronics business today and well into the future. We meet very stringent product quality, cost, security and delivery requirements of our most demanding customers. Having an enterprise wide manufacturing system that offers complete traceability of our manufacturing operations and the ability to provide real time order status to our customers will provide us with a distinct competitive advantage.”

“Rochester Electronics offers 100% quality assurance that all products are manufacturer-traceable, reliable, and guaranteed,” said Michael A. Murray, Enterprise Applications Manager of Rochester Electronics.  “After a long and detailed search for a Manufacturing Execution System, we chose Camstar for their expertise in semiconductor manufacturing, and for their solution’s industry-specific capabilities that ensure complete visibility, control and real-time feedback throughout our manufacturing process. Based on our research, vendor presentations, evaluations, site visits and conversations with Camstar customers, we’re confident we chose a solution that will meet our business requirements and we anticipate a rapid and smooth implementation.”

“The Semiconductor industry is strategic for Camstar.  We are pleased to partner with Rochester Electronics, a company known for its products, services and support that are built on a culture of delivering exceptional value,” said Steve Reynolds, Sr. Vice President for Camstar. “Rochester Electronics joins other leaders in the semiconductor industry who value Camstar’s proven technology platform as a means to meet their current and long-term growth and profitability goals.”
