Automation solutions for semiconductor manufacturing

The requirements in semiconductor manufacturing are becoming ever more complex, as node sizes are getting smaller and the demands for performance increase. The innovative and broad portfolio from Festo is geared to helping semiconductor manufacturers overcome these challenges. State-of-the-art piezo technology from Festo is best in class for precisely regulating the pressure and flow of inert gases and minimizing particle generation. In addition, its reduced energy, gas and air consumption saves costs. Motions that were once considered impossible with pneumatics can now be realized using a combination of precise pressure and sensing capabilities.

MC Kollmorgen Performs 5G Tests w Ericsson 1 400

Kollmorgen Performs 5G Tests with Ericsson to Explore Mobile Robot Capabilities in Sweden

 

Kollmorgen is currently performing 5G tests with Ericsson to explore future Mobile Robot capabilities. 5G can enable new levels of AI and Machine Learning, simplify requirements for infrastructure, and increase network stability – which could dramatically increase performance and cost efficiency for Kollmorgen’s partners and end-users. Kollmorgen’s tests with Ericsson were carried out on both a private 5G network as well as a public 4G network by using a Autonomous Mobile Robot, controlled by the Kollmorgen NDC S platform. The Wi-Fi communication link in the Kollmorgen CVC700 onboard vehicle control unit was replaced with a 5G communication link. Test results were promising – The NDC Solutions hardware and software proved to run as stable on 5G as on Wi-Fi. Furthermore, a seamless 5G antenna handover was observed.
