UMC — Power Cable & Critical Equipment Thermal Monitoring

Fab power cables operate under sustained high load; degradation isn't visible externally.

01 The Problem

The Risk

Fab power cables operate under sustained high load; degradation isn't visible externally.

Detection Gap

A cable burnout = full fab shutdown — hourly losses easily exceed NT$ 10M.

02 The OctosX Solution

Sensor & Edge

Thermalpas adheres to cable joints and equipment housings; OctosX Cloud establishes annual baselines for each cable.

Cloud Logic & Alerting

±10% deviation triggers predictive alert.

03 The Outcome

Field Detection

UMC deployed 60 sensors at an 8" fab; over 3 years, OctosX detected 2 cable-joint anomalies (one loose screw, one insulation aging) — preventing 2 fab-wide shutdowns (NT$ 50M+ each, conservative).
