The integration is expected to support seamless data-driven decision-making from early chip bring-up and validation through mass production and field deployment.
Enabling Lifecycle-Wide Visibility
One of the most significant advantages of the integrated solution is its ability to provide unified insights throughout the entire semiconductor lifecycle.
1. Design and Bring-Up
During early silicon bring-up, engineers often face limited visibility into how a chip behaves under real-world conditions. The embedded monitoring agents from proteanTecs generate granular insights that help teams validate design assumptions, identify performance bottlenecks, and optimize power efficiency.
When this data is integrated into Gubo’s OneData platform, teams can correlate design-stage telemetry with manufacturing and test data, accelerating root-cause analysis and shortening development cycles.
2. Manufacturing and Yield Optimization
Yield optimization remains one of the most critical economic factors in semiconductor manufacturing. Even marginal improvements can translate into substantial cost savings. By analyzing telemetry data alongside production metrics, the integrated solution can identify subtle process variations and early signs of reliability risks.
The combined analytics framework allows manufacturers to predict potential failure modes, adjust process parameters proactively, and maximize yield without compromising performance.
3. Deployment and Field Operation
Once devices are deployed in data centers, vehicles, telecom equipment, or edge systems, maintaining operational resilience becomes paramount. AI-driven applications demand uninterrupted uptime and consistent performance.
With real-time health monitoring enabled by proteanTecs’ embedded agents and cloud-level analytics provided by Gubo, companies can detect early degradation patterns, predict system failures, and implement preventive maintenance strategies. This predictive capability significantly enhances system resilience while reducing downtime and service costs.
Responding to AI’s Performance-Per-Watt Challenge
According to Alex Burlak, Executive Vice President of Engineering and Customer Success at proteanTecs, AI innovation is placing unprecedented demands on performance per watt, cost-effectiveness, and system robustness across the electronics industry. Meeting these demands requires scalable, intelligent solutions capable of managing complexity across vast and distributed semiconductor ecosystems.
Modern AI chips must operate at extremely high computational densities while maintaining thermal efficiency. Slight variations in voltage or aging behavior can significantly impact performance. Traditional monitoring approaches cannot provide the resolution or predictive capability required at this scale.
By combining proteanTecs’ deep data visibility with Gubo’s advanced workflow automation and analytics capabilities, the collaboration aims to deliver a new level of operational intelligence. Companies will gain unprecedented transparency into how their chips perform not only during production but also under real-world operating conditions.
Elevating Semiconductor Supply Chain Intelligence
The semiconductor supply chain is global and highly interconnected. Foundries, OSAT providers, design houses, system integrators, and end customers all contribute to the lifecycle of a single device. Data fragmentation across these stages often limits the industry’s ability to implement holistic optimization strategies.
The integrated solution developed by proteanTecs and Gubo seeks to bridge this gap by creating a unified analytics framework. Telemetry data from the silicon level can be correlated with manufacturing process data, system-level performance metrics, and field reliability information. This comprehensive data fabric empowers stakeholders across the supply chain to collaborate more effectively and make informed decisions.
Zhou Hao, Chief Technology Officer of Gubo Technology, emphasized that integrating proteanTecs’ telemetry into the OneData platform enhances predictive precision for chip health, performance, and reliability. Mutual customers will be able to leverage industry-leading analytics technologies across the semiconductor value chain, extracting deeper insights from previously underutilized datasets.
