Abstract

A system for monitoring one or more conditions of an automation system of a semiconductor factory comprising one or more instrumented substrates, one or more sealable containers, and one or more system servers is disclosed. The one or more instrumented substrates include one or more sensors. As the one or more sealable containers transport one or more instrumented substrates through the semiconductor fab, the one or more sensors measure one or more of the one or more instrumented substrates. condition. The one or more sealable containers also receive sensor data from the one or more sensors included on the one or more instrumented substrates. The one or more system servers are configured to receive the sensor data from the one or more sealable containers. The one or more servers are configured to identify one or more deviations in the one or more measurement conditions.
