Client: One of the leading semiconductor manufacturing companies in South Asia
Industry: Semiconductor Manufacturing
Challenge
The client, a prominent semiconductor manufacturing company, sought to optimize and automate their Disco DAD6450 dicing and handler equipment. However, the absence of SECS/GEM communication created significant operational inefficiencies, including:
Manual data entry leading to errors and delays.
- Limited ability to monitor equipment performance in real time.
- Challenges in integrating the equipment with the existing MES (Manufacturing Execution System).
- Increased downtime due to lack of automated alerts and diagnostics.
Key Features of EIGEMBox Implementation
To address these challenges, EIGEMBox was implemented, providing:
- Seamless SECS/GEM Communication: Full compliance with SEMI standards for equipment communication.
- Real-Time Data Exchange: Automatic data collection and transfer to the MES.
- Customizable Event Notifications: Automated alerts for process deviations and equipment status changes.
- User-Friendly Interface: Simplified setup and monitoring of equipment parameters.
- Robust Integration: Compatibility with Disco DAD6450 and easy adaptation to the client’s existing infrastructure.
Implementation Process
Assessment and Planning: A detailed analysis of the existing equipment and workflow was conducted to identify specific integration requirements.
EIGEMBox Configuration: Tailored configurations were created to ensure seamless communication between Disco DAD6450 and the MES.
Testing and Validation: Comprehensive testing was performed to ensure reliability and performance.
Deployment and Training: EIGEMBox was deployed, and the client’s team was trained for optimal utilization.
Solution: EIGEMBox for Seamless SECS/GEM Communication
EIGEMBox acted as a bridge between the client’s Disco DAD6450 equipment and their MES. By enabling SECS/GEM communication, EIGEMBox provided real-time equipment monitoring, automated data handling, and enhanced process control. This eliminated the need for manual interventions, minimized errors, and improved overall equipment efficiency.
