GlobalFoundries merges 5 Singapore control centres

The move marks only the first phase of a plan to link operations worldwide.

GlobalFoundries (GF) has opened its Advanced Facilities Control Centre (AFCC) in Singapore to enhance facilities operations through artificial intelligence (AI) and predictive maintenance.

GF said the centre, developed with Siemens, will consolidate its five fab-specific control centres in Singapore, marking the first phase of its global integration of facilities operations and data.

AFCC combines facilities data and operational metrics to detect equipment issues earlier, speed up troubleshooting, and reduce unplanned downtime through 24/7 equipment health monitoring.

Autonomous robots equipped with thermal imaging, gas detection, and other sensors will patrol the facilities and campus, transmitting real-time data to the centre for analysis and response.

Upon full global deployment, the system will integrate more than 1 million critical data points from facilities equipment across GF’s global manufacturing network.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
