Industrial 4.0 is revolutionizing industries by transforming the way of production, manufacturing, and distribution, while also solving the manpower shortage caused by population decline. This concept harnesses cutting-edge technologies such as IoT, AI, big data analytics, and robotics to foster efficiency, connectivity, and an unprecedented expansion of productivity.
To leverage the benefits of Industrial 4.0, Innolux has launched a P-AMR (Panel Level Packaging Autonomous Mobile Robot) for efficient panel delivery between stations. This P-AMR combines a roller conveyor and an AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) to transport a 700 mm*700 mm metal plate with the panel wafer on it.
Cleanroom-Standard-Class-10 Chamber
To ensure optimal integrated circuit performance and maximize manufacturing yield rate, it is essential to control contamination from particles during wafer fabrication. Therefore, Innolux utilizes design know-how to minimize the particle presence in the chamber, ensuring that the particle level conforms to the class 10 cleanroom standard.
Anti-vibration Feature
Since wafer chips are fragile, cracks or damages occurring on the chips can directly impact the electronic performance of the integrated circuit. To prevent damages during delivery, Innolux has incorporated an anti-vibration feature into the P-AMR.
Anti-ESD
ESD is a significant cause of device failure in the semiconductor industry. This P-AMR is designed with anti-ESD materials to prevent ESD from damaging semiconductor products during delivery.
Flexible Unloading Orders
The PLP unloading order is typically designed as 'first in, last out,' which can impose limitations on delivery route planning and may even necessitate a re-layout of the manufacturing plant. In response to this challenge, Innolux has developed the P-AMR with flexible unloading orders, allowing for the adaptable design of delivery routes based on the manufacturing plant layout.
Intelligence Positioning
If the machine starts to load or unload the wafer at the wrong position, it could lead to the wafer hitting the wafer-loading platform. Innolux's P-AMR is designed and equipped with an intelligent positioning function. By using an additional optical sensor for secondary positioning, Innolux's P-AMR is able to achieve 100% accurate positioning.
Compact Size
The average width of an AMR in the market exceeds 1,000mm. However, not every manufacturing plant has enough space to accommodate AMRs of this size or allow them to cross paths. Therefore, Innolux has designed the P-AMR with a compact size to minimize workspace limitations. With a width of 890mm, P-AMRs can easily navigate through a 2,400mm path, thereby increasing manufacturing capacity.
