AI-leveraged engineering for semiconductor manufacturing
MES extensions, factory integrations and traceability systems — production-grade, built for the shopfloor, and delivered at the pace AI-augmented engineering makes possible.
Engineering at AI speed, with production-grade rigor
AI is the biggest shift in software economics since open source. At LiSoft it is not a demo or a slide — it is the daily working method behind every deliverable.
Ship faster
LLM-augmented design, coding, review and testing compress the design–build–verify loop from weeks to days. More iterations, faster feedback, lower cost per change — the same scope, delivered sooner.
Rigor stays human
AI multiplies output; an engineer owns the result. Architecture, correctness, tests and observability are accountable to a person — so the speed never comes at the price a fab can't afford.
AI on your factory data
Pragmatic, measurable use cases: quality-signal analysis, troubleshooting copilots grounded in your MES data and documentation, smarter reporting. No moonshots — wins you can verify on the line.
The point is leverage: scope that used to take a quarter ships in weeks — with the traceability, tests and observability that semiconductor manufacturing expects.
What LiSoft does
End-to-end: from solution design to production support. Software that runs next to the line — and keeps running.
AI-augmented engineering
AI as a force multiplier, not a slogan: LLM-assisted delivery that compresses design–build–verify cycles while keeping production-grade rigor, plus pragmatic AI use cases on manufacturing data — from quality signals to smarter troubleshooting.
Semiconductor MES engineering
Development and evolution of Manufacturing Execution Systems for semiconductor fabs: MES extensions, event-based rules and workflows, data processing and reporting — with production-support discipline built in.
Manufacturing & factory integrations
Reliable services, APIs and integration flows connecting MES with surrounding manufacturing systems, in a middleware-oriented architecture: messaging, GraphQL/REST, data pipelines between factory and enterprise systems.
Traceability, genealogy & quality
Lot and unit-level traceability and genealogy across the production flow, quality signals and audit-ready data — the foundation for root-cause analysis, yield learning and compliance in high-volume manufacturing.
Fluent in the language of the fab
MES work is domain work. These are the concepts LiSoft engineers with every day — the details that decide whether shopfloor software helps or gets in the way.
Lot & WIP tracking
The heartbeat of the fab: track-in / track-out at every operation, lot splits, merges and rework paths, holds and releases, hot-lot expediting and queue-time (Q-time) constraints between steps — with full WIP visibility across the line.
Engineering & production lots
Engineering material plays by different rules: pilot and send-ahead wafers, experiment (DOE) splits, non-standard routes and engineering overrides — supported side by side with production WIP, without breaking traceability or confusing the dispatcher.
Carrier & lot logistics
FOUPs, FOSBs and cassettes with carrier IDs and slot maps; multi-carrier lots and lot–carrier association; carrier moves and sorter operations across the line — keeping physical material and MES data in sync at every step.
Equipment integration
Connecting tools to the MES on the host side: equipment states and utilization, process and event data collection from the line, and reliable integration flows that turn raw tool signals into OEE and downstream analytics.
Recipe management
Central recipe body management with recipe-to-context binding — product, operation, equipment — parameter verification before track-in, golden-recipe comparison and audited engineering overrides when the process demands them.
Material & durables management
Beyond lots: raw wafers, reticles, durables and consumables — staging and verification at the operation, substrate-level tracking with wafer maps, so genealogy holds all the way down to wafer granularity.
Rules, workflows & dispatching
Event-driven, rule-based automation: what-next dispatch lists, lot prioritization and batching, automated reactions to lot and equipment events, and long-running workflows orchestrating moves, measurements and holds across systems.
Process control & quality data
Measurement data that closes the loop: SPC charts and violations, FDC signals from the tools, run-to-run (R2R) control and metrology sampling plans — quality signals wired back into lot disposition and yield learning.
Outcomes that matter in manufacturing
Shopfloor software is judged in production, not in demos. Every solution is designed around three things:
Reliability & performance
Services that survive real production load and real production data. Designed for failure handling, tested for behavior — not just coverage.
Operability
Monitoring and metrics from day one (OpenTelemetry-based observability), meaningful logging, predictable deployments and fast, informed troubleshooting when minutes count.
Maintainability
Clean architecture, testability and knowledge transfer — so the system can evolve with the fab instead of becoming legacy the day it ships.
Core stack
Object-oriented engineering across stacks — language-agnostic by principle, at home in middleware-oriented manufacturing architectures.
Paweł Linek
Senior Software Engineer / Solution Architect behind LiSoft. Since 2019 I have been designing and building MES solutions for semiconductor manufacturing, working with a leading European semiconductor-automation vendor on systems used close to the shopfloor.
My sweet spot is system design with hands-on delivery: architecting end-to-end solutions and writing the production code myself — object-oriented engineering across stacks, from .NET to Python — services, integrations and event-driven workflows that carry traceability, genealogy and quality data through the factory.
I work remotely across the EU, embedded in distributed teams, with a strong culture of ownership: if it runs in production, I support it in production.
Let's talk about your manufacturing systems
Whether it's an MES extension, a tricky integration, or making delivery faster with AI-augmented engineering — a short conversation is the cheapest way to find out if it's a fit.
