Industry:
Semiconductor
Products:
Semiconductor wafers
Customer Challenge:
Improve productivity by providing more predictable delivery times and reducing human errors. Optimize the workforce and redeploy workers to higher-value tasks.
Application:
60+ LD robots integrated with handlers used for intra-bay loading and inter-bay transfer. Robots carry pods from one machine tool to another and move works-in-progress to various process areas within the fab. They have been running 24/7 since 2013.
OMRON Equipment
OMRON LD-90 mobile robots.
Why OMRON Was Choosen:
Customer explored AGVs but preferred OMRON AMRs because of flexible navigation and ease of installation, as well as LD’s cleanroom rating.
Impact:
GlobalFoundries improved labor productivity by more than 5%, a big jump in Singapore’s productive semiconductor industry.
