Abstract
In this presentation, the practical aspects of implementing time synchronization in today?s fabs will be discussed utilizing experimental analysis of industrial quality networked environments to illustrate the impact of the various components on the time and data synchronization problem. A realistic assessment of what level of time synchronization can be achieved today will be given. Additionally recommendations will be provided on how to address the weak link of software delay and delay variability so as to improve the potential for node time synchronization.
