Accelovant Demonstrates Advanced Sensing and Control Integration at SEMICON West

Accelovant Technologies Corp has unveiled a groundbreaking integration of its advanced optical sensing technology with commercial PID and machine learning (ML) control systems at Azbil USA Corporation's booth (#5786) during SEMICON West 2026. This demonstration showcases how low-latency, drift-free thermal inputs can be used for predictive and closed-loop process optimization, specifically for semiconductor wafer temperature uniformity.

Michael Goldstein, CEO of Accelovant, highlighted the significance of this integration.

The demonstration at Azbil USA Corporation's booth (#5786) highlights the seamless integration of Accelovant’s advanced optical sensing hardware with commercial PID and ML control systems. This setup showcases how low-latency, drift-free thermal inputs can be used with predictive, and closed-loop process optimization for semiconductor wafer temperature uniformity. The live control demonstration at Azbil Corporation's booth (#5786) is part of a broader effort by Accelovant to bring real-time model-based control directly to process chemistry.

Accelovant's broader momentum in bringing real-time model-based control directly to process chemistry is exemplified by its MPX-EDGE, a high-performance Edge AI/MIMO controller engineered for sub-millisecond control. This platform allows equipment makers and controller partners to run their own IP-protected AI models directly at the point-of-process. By activating the ultra-high-bandwidth, low-latency signal-processing capabilities inherent in Accelovant's optical sensing engine, the platform enables real-time ML inference and closed-loop process control, supporting improved yields, repeatability, and overall tool throughput.

Accelovant's technology will be on display as part of the live control demonstration at Azbil Corporation Booth #5786. The company's technical executives will be attending SEMICON West for private OEM partner briefings, commercial evaluations, and integration discussions.

Accelovant Technologies Corp is a technology leader in fiber-optic sensing, edge computing, and industrial measurement solutions. Headquartered in North Vancouver, British Columbia, the company serves leading global technology and industrial customers. Accelovant's technology leverages patented materials science innovations like Kristonium™ to deliver high-precision sensing and control platforms for semiconductor manufacturing, AI data centers, and critical power infrastructure.

The demonstration at Azbil USA Corporation's booth (#5786) is part of a strategic partnership program that works with forward-thinking controller providers to link Accelovant's low-cost, multi-channel sensing engines directly with PID and ML control loops. This partnership aims to set new performance benchmarks and unlock closed-loop thermal control when sensing and advanced control algorithms operate as a unified platform.

Accelovant's broader efforts in real-time model-based control are driven by the need to address the shrinking process windows in semiconductor manufacturing. The MPX-EDGE, with its sub-millisecond control capabilities, is designed to meet the demands of advanced semiconductor fabrication processes, particularly as the industry pushes toward the 2 nm design node and beyond.

Accelovant's technology and the live control demonstration at Azbil USA Corporation's booth (#5786) are part of a larger initiative to enhance the precision and efficiency of semiconductor manufacturing processes. The company's focus on integrating advanced sensing and control technologies is crucial for maintaining and improving the quality and consistency of semiconductor wafers, which are essential components in modern electronics and technology.
