Via Automation
"Pioneering AI in Semiconductor Automation"
Fremont, California software company introduced in 2024; its Via Copilot and Industrial Workspace tools flag equipment anomalies in semiconductor fabs.
Via Automation is a Fremont, California-based software company that builds AI tools for monitoring semiconductor manufacturing equipment, publicly introduced in May 2024. The company is led by chief executive Nitin Parekh, formerly of Sapphire Automation, chief technology officer Kiran Karunakaran, previously head of Tagrail, and chief operating officer Manosij Roy; semiconductor-industry veterans Dariush Rafinejad, formerly of Applied Materials and Lam Research, and Sudhir Naik, a longtime figure in India's semiconductor and embedded-systems sector, serve as senior advisors.
Its main product, Via Copilot, applies time-series modeling and pattern matching to fab process data to flag equipment anomalies and deviations from a validated process recipe, presenting results as natural-language alerts rather than raw statistical output. A companion tool, Industrial Workspace, indexes real-time and historical equipment, production and quality data from multiple factory systems into a single searchable interface for fab operators. The company also offers Via Analytics for trend reporting and an Equipment Control Framework for integrating its software with existing tool-control systems, marketed to fabs seeking earlier detection of tool drift ahead of yield-impacting failures.
