Cleanroom Conveyor + Robotic Cell for Global Semiconductor Manufacturer
Client
Leading Global Semiconductor Manufacturer (confidential – Tier-1 supplier to major chip makers)
Industry
Semiconductor & Electronics
The Challenge
The client required a fully automated, ISO Class 5 cleanroom material handling solution for delicate wafer carriers between processing stations. Manual transfer was creating contamination risks, low throughput, and high labour costs. The system had to guarantee ultra-high OEE while maintaining strict cleanroom protocols.
Invensys Solution
Invensys engineered and commissioned a custom Cleanroom Conveyor System integrated with a 6-axis collaborative robotic cell. The solution features ESD-safe materials, laminar flow compatibility, and vision-guided robotic pick-and-place.
Key Technical Features
- Stainless-steel, ESD-safe belt and roller conveyors with HEPA-compatible design
- 6-axis cobot with vacuum end-effector and vision guidance
- ISO Class 5 cleanroom certification
- Real-time particle monitoring and auto-shutdown on deviation
- Seamless PLC/SCADA integration with existing fab systems
- Digital twin simulation completed before fabrication
Measurable Results
- OEE of 92%(industry-leading for cleanroom automation)
- ROI achieved in 11 months
- 78% reduction in wafer handling labour
- Contamination incidents reduced to zero
- Throughput increased by 57%
