GlobalFoundries Selects Redpanda to Build Real-Time Data Layer for AI Agents

GlobalFoundries (GF), a semiconductor manufacturer, has selected Redpanda to build a unified real-time data platform across its global manufacturing operations, with the companies also working to deploy AI agents across the business.

The collaboration connects manufacturing, engineering and business systems through Redpanda's data platform. GF said the platform replaces legacy change-data-capture infrastructure and streams equipment, process and scientific data from its manufacturing operations.

The deployment comes as GF expands its use of AI and digital manufacturing technologies. Its digital manufacturing strategy includes AI-powered solutions across manufacturing sites, while its Singapore operations have used artificial intelligence and machine learning as part of broader Industry 4.0 initiatives.

The company has also been working with Siemens on AI-driven manufacturing, including predictive maintenance, energy management and automation. The push places GF alongside other semiconductor manufacturers applying AI directly to production environments, including efforts covered in AI manufacturing and the use of AI in semiconductor testing.
