Singapore’s semiconductor industry, which accounts for 10% of the global market share and 20% of global manufacturing capacity, relies heavily on the seamless operation of its billion-dollar fabs. OneSystems Technologies (OST), a Singapore-based systems integrator, plays a crucial role in ensuring these facilities operate efficiently, even as they undergo constant technological upgrades.
Unlike conventional factories, semiconductor fabs require continuous reconfiguration to accommodate advancements such as AI-optimised chips. This dynamic environment, often described as “live surgery,” demands uninterrupted operations, as even a brief downtime can result in significant financial losses. OST addresses these challenges by integrating operational technology, IT, safety, and process-control systems, providing fab operators with real-time monitoring and faster response times.
For a leading semiconductor client, OST’s integration of siloed networks into a unified platform led to a 20% reduction in infrastructure costs and improved system recovery times. Co-Founder and CEO Eunice Hong emphasises that the company’s success lies not only in its technology but also in its people. OST’s commitment to worker welfare, including a zero-injury record and cross-training programmes, fosters a culture of loyalty and safety.
As Southeast Asia expands its semiconductor capacity, OST is poised to export its Singapore-honed model regionally. The company is investing in AI-driven predictive maintenance, cybersecurity frameworks, and automation tools to ensure future-proof integration. This strategic move aligns with the upcoming Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone, further solidifying OST’s role in the region’s semiconductor landscape.
