Exploring the Present and Future of AMHS in Semiconductor Fabs
Automated transportation in semiconductor fabs began with front-end processes in 1980s. It has grown in scale and expanded to advanced back-end operations. Recently we are also receiving requests to handle materials and tools. Beyond wafer transportation, by “Full Fab Automation”, where we fully automate the movement of goods throughout the entire factory, we aim to contribute to the ever-growing semiconductor industry.
