Six-Layer SSbD Reference Architecture
Definition
The Six-Layer SSbD Reference Architecture is a conceptual framework designed to manage and operationalize environmental and regulatory safety within semiconductor manufacturing. It maps compliance and operational requirements across a vertical hierarchy, ranging from physical facility telemetry at the base to macro-economic value chain integration at the apex, facilitating the implementation of safety and sustainability mandates.
Key Characteristics
- Hierarchical Structure: Organizes data and governance into six distinct layers, ensuring vertical alignment from shop-floor physical data to enterprise-level strategy.
- Agentic Workflow Integration: Utilizes professional proxy agents to pass data ‘batons’ across layers, automating governance processes.
- Information Protection: Employs an architecture that enables secure data sharing for sustainability and compliance while safeguarding manufacturing trade secrets and intellectual property.
- SoS Operationalization: Specifically designed to operationalize an automated System-of-Systems (SoS) environment in complex industrial settings.
Applications
- Semiconductor Manufacturing Governance: Streamlining environmental and safety compliance in complex, data-heavy fab environments.
- Automated Sustainability Compliance: Leveraging Safe and Sustainable by Design mandates within an industrial data ecosystem.
- Cross-Layer Data Orchestration: Integrating physical facility-level monitoring with macro-level value chain sustainability reporting.
