Factory Automation – Auto validate Materials, Tool, Assign of Carriers to ICs during Start Process
Automation framework for a OSAT to execute to shop floor transaction Process Equipments
Automation
Challenges
Manual validation for material, tool and assigning of carrier which may lead human error.
No proper master data to maintain master product information
Manual marking of defected ICs in a strip which consume more time and human error
Objectives
The automation system to integrate sensors, controls, and actuators designed to perform a function with minimal or no human intervention
Automated validation of carriers to validate carriers in use, carriers in maintenance and to assign only predefined carriers.
Automated system to read and mark the ICs BIN code.
Solutions
Developed a satellite application START and END Process,
START PROCESS is used to validate Material Part, Tool Part#, Equipment, Recipe and valid carrier. After process is started, API signal is sent to SAP ERP to indicate the begin process
END PROCESS is used as soon as the process is completed. END PROCESS will send API signal to SAP ERP to indicate that the process is completed in a current operation
Window service to check the new strip files to mark the BIN codes and convert to 4 digit which is readable by AOI equipment.
