Fabmatics: Automating a Test Wafer Center for the semiconductor industry

Fabmatics GmbH specializes in automating material flows for semiconductor factories. The Test Wafer Center simplifies and accelerates assembly of test wafer lots for the company, which can otherwise prove complex and time-critical. The implementation of the modular Beckhoff automation system, based around an industrial PC or the CX series, has made the TWC into a fully-automated system for prepping, sorting, and storing test wafers for semiconductor manufacturing.
