LineWorks CDM

Container distribution management for gases and chemicals.

Comprehensive Traceability for Gases, Liquids, and Chemicals in Fabs

LineWorks CDM (Container Distribution Management) offers comprehensive monitoring, tracking, and tracing of the supply chain for gases, liquids, and chemicals used in fabs. Having the right facility materials in the right place is crucial. This solution tracks deliveries of gases, liquids, and chemicals and their stocks. It approves delivery based on eCoA and checks approved parts to the distribution system. The SPC chart-based connection time allows for detecting suppliers and tracking quality data.

Addressing Key Challenges in Chemical and Gas Management

In today’s complex manufacturing environments, managing the flow of gases and chemicals presents several challenges:

  • Disconnected Systems: Lack of integration between process operations and gas/chemical distribution often leads to inefficiencies and risks to product quality.
  • Manual Tracking Issues: Facility management teams struggle with manual processes, which can result in incorrect material handling and stock discrepancies.
  • Limited Visibility: Process managers lack real-time visibility into material consumption and connection time, making it difficult to identify issues early. 

LineWorks CDM Core Functions

Core functions

Comprehensive Material Tracking 

LineWorks CDM uses unique identifiers such as Container ID, Batch ID, and Distribution System ID to monitor and manage each container throughout its lifecycle. From the initial stock receiving to final consumption, every circulation is recorded and traceable, ensuring full compliance and minimizing risks.

  • Lifecycle Tracking: From Incoming Quality Control (IQC) to the final connection with distribution equipment, all stages are covered.
  • Seamless Integration: Supports diverse gases, liquids, and chemicals across various industries, including semiconductor, electronics, automotive, and aerospace.

Real-Time Monitoring and Quality Control

LineWorks CDM ensures all received materials are verified with an electronic Certificate of Analysis (eCoA) before they are accepted. The solution integrates with LineWorks SQM and LineWorks SPACE, providing quality data and compliance checks throughout the supply chain.

  • eCoA Verification: Confirms material quality before acceptance, ensuring only approved materials enter the facility.
  • Quality Data Plotting: Enables real-time quality data plotting based on consumption order, allowing for detailed analysis and proactive decision-making.

Streamlined Operations and Enhanced Connectivity

LineWorks CDM supports the streamlined integration of containers to distribution systems, reducing manual errors and improving operational efficiency. The mobile-friendly interface allows operators to manage inventory and track material status in real-time, anytime and anywhere.

  • Mobile Device Integration: Provides operators with access to container data and tracking functionalities directly on their mobile devices.
  • Sampling and Connection Validation: Facilitates quality sampling procedures and ensures the correct connection of containers to the distribution system.
How it works

Operational Flow of LineWorks CDM

The LineWorks CDM operational flow covers the entire process, from receiving stock to issuing containers for production.

  • Receiving and Storage: Stock is received at designated points and tracked for real-time visibility.
  • Move-In/Move-Out: Containers are moved in and out of storage locations based on demands and consumption needs.
  • Real-Time Tracking: The container status (e.g., empty, ready, in transit) is monitored across multiple locations, providing up-to-date information to operators.
  • Issuing to Production: Once verified, containers are issued for use in production for a continuous supply of quality materials.
