,1,GlobalFoundries, a global semiconductor manufacturer, has turned to Spot to further automate their data collection for condition monitoring and predictive maintenance. Globalfoundries’ semiconductor manufacturing facility in Burlington, Vermont creates products that go into communication devices, RF technology, and more.
Manufacturing facilities are filled with thousands of inspection points, and adding fixed sensors to all these assets is not economical. With Spot bringing the sensors to their assets, the team collects valuable information about the thermal condition of pumps and motors, as well as taking analog gauge readings. Since this equipment has a long life cycle and slow rate of change, the team can better monitor these assets over time - making better informed decisions to keep the facility running.
Boston Dynamics partner Levatas worked to implement automated inspection missions at Globalfoundries’ facility. Building computer vision models based on gauges and motors of a variety of equipment, Levatas was able to provide Spot the cognitive intelligence it needs to know what it’s looking at, and make decisions based on that information.

,1,We’re excited to announce the latest advancements to Spot’s hardware and ecosystem.
Over the last few years, we’ve seen our customers make huge strides in what they’ve been able to accomplish with Spot – including collecting thousands of data points to drive predictive maintenance models, building comprehensive digital twins of their construction sites, and keeping workers away from dangerous or hazardous situations. We can’t wait to see what they’ll be able to do next.
