What is LineWorks FDC?

LineWorks FDC is an enterprise fault detection and classification solution that transforms real-time equipment, process, and trace data into manufacturing intelligence. It continuously collects and analyzes equipment traces, sensor values, and process signals while manufacturing is running.

When deviations occur, LineWorks FDC helps engineers: 

  • Detect abnormal behavior
  • Classify issues quickly
  • Understand likely causes
  • Receive immediate notifications
  • Respond faster to process events

Unlike traditional monitoring approaches, LineWorks FDC is tightly integrated with LineWorks SPACE, connecting real-time operational information with long-term manufacturing intelligence.

Turning Equipment Data Challenges into Reliable FDC

Capabilities

The FDC system is more than just capturing massive amounts of process data, it’s also about making sense of it in real time. With tremendous amount of data points generated at every production step, the real challenge lies in analyzing and correlating this data to correctly identify defects.

The system works by providing the following capabilities:

Step Purpose
Collect Capture real-time trace and sensor data
Monitor Observe equipment and process behavior continuously
Detect Identify deviations from expected behavior
Classify Determine likely causes and fault patterns
Alert Notify the right people at the right time
Investigate Analyze events using engineering context and manufacturing intelligence
Improve Support expert-driven decisions, corrective actions, and operational improvement

Data Collection Methods

Capture and Analyze Equipment Data in Real Time

With LineWorks FDC, manufacturers can capture and manage production data with speed and flexibility. Equipment data can be streamed in real time, with every data point per second buffered into a continuous trace or collected in full once a process run has completed. This enables rapid real-time monitoring, immediate analysis, and secure storage of complete process traces, giving manufacturers the ability to respond quickly and maintain consistent quality.

Data Collection Methods

LineWorks FDC offers flexible options for collecting data, designed to support the wide range of back-end processing equipment. These data collection methods include:

  • LineWorks ECoFrame integration for seamless connectivity.
  • File input support (available upon request).

Beyond these standard options, the system also provides flexibility on a project level. Custom data collection tools can be developed using Open Platform Communications (OPC) or RJG software, ensuring that even specialized equipment can be integrated smoothly.

Why Semiconductor Manufacturers Use LineWorks FDC

  • Detect, classify, and respond to abnormal equipment and process behavior.

  • Transform trace, sensor, and process data into actionable engineering insight.

  • Connect equipment behavior with quality, process, material, and operational information.

  • Accelerate root-cause investigations using historical and contextual information from LineWorks SPACE.

  • Help experts make faster and better-informed operational decisions. 

  • Support consistent execution of corrective and follow-up activities.

LineWorks FDC Key Features

LineWorks FDC allows users to stream data live as it’s collected, seamlessly update dynamic visual dashboards. As new data arrives, the platform automatically refreshes interactive charts and graphs so that users can monitor trace and violation in real time without any manual refresh.

Trace Comparison Made Simple

Compare trace data visually using overlay mode or stack view. This makes it easy to spot deviations, similarities, or trends across different runs.

Real-Time Monitoring & Alerts

Stay on top of violations during data collection. Users will be notified immediately through alerts, pop-up windows, and built-in alarm systems, enabling rapid response to process deviations before they escalate.

Guardband Visualization

Clearly see guardbands (limits) for each trace, helping you identify when process values are approaching critical thresholds.

Flexible Data Handling

Combine multiple data collections across samples with powerful stitching functionality, making it easier to view complete runs as a single trace. It also supports chart step visualization and provides calculated values per sensor for deeper insights.

Live Data Streaming

Users can stream and visualize process data collection in real time in the browser. This enables immediate feedback during production runs, supporting faster decisions and continuous process improvement.
