Manufacturing Automation
Our Client is an equipment manufacturer whose products include industrial machines and communication equipment. In addition they provide logistics equipment solutions for automated storage for clean rooms for semiconductors fabs.
Semiconductor manufacturing fabs have a long production lead-time and a large number of linked processes. Fabrication within clean rooms requires high efficiency in material handling and reduced contamination such as dust etc.Since these are high-value investments, throughput and lead-time are key performance parameters that define success.
​
Hence, automated material handling systems such as automated guided vehicles (AGVs) that run on overhead hoist transporter(OHT) tracks are used.
Manufacturing Automation Functions:
Transport, Vehicle Allocation , Area, Route Search, Patrol, and Parking.
Business Need:
Our client had their own proprietary software framework and dedicated team. They needed market-driven additional feature enhancements to the product in a short time by a well-experienced team, while they continued to focus on their core modules. HTL was entrusted with augmenting the main product in the development of Material Handling System Software for an overhead automated storage system.
