Halo selects Eyelit to power scalable SiC wafering production with composable MES
Eyelit Technologies of Holmdel, N.J, USA (which provides AI-powered optimized planning, scheduling and execution systems) says that its software solution suite has been selected by laser-based silicon carbide (SiC) wafering firm Halo Industries Inc of Santa Clara, CA, USA (a 2014 spin-out from Stanford University) to support its rapidly scaling production needs.
Eyelit says that it was chosen after a competitive evaluation, with Halo selecting the platform based on its reputation, composable architecture, and flexible application capabilities. The decision reflects Halo’s need for a system that is appropriately sized for its existing operations but robust and scalable enough to support future growth as the company advances its SiC wafering technology.
Eyelit adds that its manufacturing execution system (MES) suite stood out for several reasons: proven scalability, flexibility in recipe and dynamic flow configuration using the Scenarios feature, and the unique IP Shield capability to protect proprietary process data.
“Other MES vendors either weren’t the right fit for our size or couldn’t scale with us,” comments Halo’s MES production manager Tim Irvine. “Eyelit’s platform gives us the right balance of control, flexibility and future-proofing, especially with features like Scenarios and IP Shield that no one else offered,” he adds.
“Halo Industries is pioneering a breakthrough in silicon carbide wafering,” comments Eyelit’s CEO Joe Bellini. “Our solution architecture, with flexible recipe flows, composable applications, and robust IP protection via IP Shield, will provide Halo the control, scalability and agility they need as they push the boundaries of laser‑based wafering.”
