Transport robot

With a digital service portal that keeps procedures, checklists and documentation in one place. Fabmatics uses Kontron AIS EquipmentCloud for this instead of Excel spreadsheets. Rotating teams can see work progress at any time and resume interrupted tasks later. The result in the solution example: 50 per cent less time spent on commissioning and 30 per cent higher process speed.

At Fabmatics, the factory acceptance test is only passed once the transport robot has run fault-free for 72 hours. If a fault occurs, the test restarts after the correction. Since commissioning has been documented in EquipmentCloud and guided by checklists, only one acceptance test is needed on average. Previously it sometimes took several attempts.

Because as few people as possible should work in cleanrooms. Fewer staff means less particle contamination and better manufacturing quality for wafers and chips. The industry therefore uses handling systems and autonomous or rail-guided transport robots. Fabmatics configures these systems in close consultation with the customer so that they match the customer's processes exactly.

Through customer-specific version management in the service portal. In Kontron AIS EquipmentCloud, each Fabmatics machine receives exactly the updates and patches approved for its device type. Together with the equipment history built up during commissioning, this makes later service cases easier to handle. Teams therefore always have complete documentation to hand.
