Aquest Systems, a developer of innovative automation solutions for the global semiconductor industry, today announced the availability of its new FabEX™ No-Wait-ProductivitySM Improvement (NPI) solution. Leveraging the FabEX Transporter Aquest announced in May of last year, the FabEX NPI solution optimizes material movement in an existing fab by eliminating bottlenecks and congestions that impact IC manufacturers’ fab productivity. The solution quickly, easily and without risk enhances fab productivity, as it connects without any changes to the IC manufacturers’ existing automated material handling systems (AMHS). Addressing the widely-found areas in a typical fab where existing AMHS with overhead transport (OHT) vehicles cannot keep up with IC fab productivity improvement requirements, FabEX eliminates unnecessary delays and reduces the load on already-installed systems. By adding Aquest’s patented FabEX Transporter to their existing AMHS, IC manufacturers are able to circumvent the congestion using an alternative route or ‘highway’ to move front opening unified pods (FOUPs) at high speeds (3 meters/second) between various critical locations in the fab. In turn, chipmakers see a reduction in FOUP delivery times, as well as an increase in fab-wide transport capacity. Enhancing fab productivity, while also removing risk, this advanced solution works in tandem with existing automated systems. The FabEX NPI connects to installed stockers, OHT vehicles and material control systems (MCS), without requiring any changes to the existing AMHS. With proper planning, Aquest’s NPI solution does not require a fab to slow down or stop production. In fact, the NPI can be expeditiously integrated with any fab’s current AMHS without mechanical or software modifications, reinforcing Aquest’s No-Wait-ManufacturingSM vision of enhancing fab ROI by boosting fab productivity Company Contact:
