Semiconductors & Advanced Electronics
Ultra-Stable Equipment. Ultra-Stable Yield.
In a semiconductor fab, microscopic variations create million-dollar problems. A slight vibration can distort wafers, reduce yield, or shut down an entire bay.
Why Semiconductors & Advanced Electronics Chooses Chladni
Your machines must operate with perfect consistency. Chladni provides continuous vibration intelligence for:
Vacuum Pumps & Exhaust Systems
Fan Filter Units (FFUs)
CMP, Etch, and Deposition Tool Sub-Systems
Compressors, Motors, and Rotation-Critical Assets
Wafer Handling Robotics
Cooling and Chiller Systems
Where Mechanical Drift Hurts Yield
Every vibration anomaly in a fab creates risk — sometimes invisible, sometimes catastrophic.

How Chladni Works
Listen
The sensor continuously monitors vibration and temperature on pumps and rotating equipment.
Detect
AI identifies drift as soon as it begins — long before it affects the process.
Diagnose
Physics-based algorithms pinpoint root causes: imbalance, bearing wear, misalignment, and resonance.
Predict
The system forecasts how fast the problem is growing and whether it's urgent.
Guide
Your team receives clear, actionable recommendations — with full traceability for audits.

Frequently Asked
Questions
Will installing Chladni require us to re-validate our equipment or file a new regulatory submission?
No.Chladni is designed as a Non-Invasive Overlay.
No PLC Contact: Our sensors are completely independent of your machine’s control logic. We do not write back to the PLC or alter process parameters.
No Re-Validation: Because the installation does not impact the validated state or control strategy of the equipment, it typically qualifies as a "monitoring-only" addition, requiring no re-validation or complex change control.
How is the hardware installed? Do we need to shut down the line? A: Installation is wireless, tool-free, and requires zero downtime.
Installation is wireless, tool-free, and requires zero downtime.
Wireless & Non-Invasive: Our sensors attach to the external chassis of your assets (motors, pumps, gearboxes) using industrial-grade adhesive.
Rapid Deployment: A single line can be outfitted in under a few hours without stopping production.
Are the sensors safe for Cleanroom and GMP environments?
Yes. Our pharma-grade sensor nodes are designed with smooth, non-shedding enclosures that are IP67/IP69K rated. They are resistant to standard cleaning agents (VHP, Isopropyl Alcohol) and do not introduce particulate risk into sterile environments.
Does this system comply with Data Integrity (ALCOA+)?
Absolutely. While Chladni operates as a monitoring layer, all data is encrypted end-to-end, time-stamped, and immutable. We provide full audit trails for every alert and user interaction, supporting your site’s 21 CFR Part 11 and Annex 11 compliance strategies.
Can we integrate this data into our existing e-Logbook or MES?
Yes. We don't want to create a data silo. Chladni offers an open API to feed machine health status directly into your existing MES (e.g., Werum PAS-X, Rockwell PharmaSuite) or Quality Management System, automating the "Maintenance Required" entry in your electronic logbooks.
