Automation and digitalization in manufacturing are used as means to speed up the production, reduce its costs, and improve the quality of the products. However, new systems and technologies that are applied to achieve these goals often require great adaptation efforts by the employees using them. This is especially the case in the semiconductor industry, where there is great competitive pressure, with the need for fast, flexible and innovative manufacturing processes. This paper examines at
