One of the most important aspects of meeting production deadlines is planning wafer transportation in the back-end manufacturing process. It’s something that all fab managers strive to optimize. Implementing OMRON’s industry-leading automated solutions can help.
Application: FOUP transportation in the back-end
Misprocessing and contamination scrap can significantly impact productivity and profit, affecting both worker efficiency and the quality of the final product. However, traditional wafer transport systems are labor-intensive and lack the flexibility needed for substantial improvements or the deployment of multiple units simultaneously.
Our solution: Autonomous Mobile Manipulator
By implementing OMRON’s industry-leading autonomous Mobile Manipulator (MoMa) solutions, FOUP transportation and machine load/unload processes can be performed autonomously and safely, streamlining and optimizing the entire workflow.
The MoMa autonomous and collaborative solution addresses the shortage of skilled labor, reduces labor costs, and supports a more flexible manufacturing environment in back-end fab operations. To further enhance efficiency, multiple MoMa units can be programmed to work together simultaneously in an optimized fleet, meeting the specific needs of each plant.

OMRON TM cobots are geared toward manufacturers seeking to boost production and reduce employee fatigue by automating repetitive tasks such as machine tending, loading and unloading, assembly, screw driving, gluing, testing or soldering. Whether you’re working in automotive, semiconductors, secondary packaging for food, plastics, or machine tools, the Omron TM Collaborative Robot is designed to adapt to almost any industry.
Information & Productivity in a miniaturized size controller
The NX1 series modular machine controller provides logic sequence, motion and information functionality. NX1 is joining production and IT worlds, minimizing engineering and maintenance while suppressing middleware.
Integrated safety into machine automation
The Sysmac automation platform integrates the safety solution within our one connection and one software concept. One connection is realised through the use of Safety over EtherCAT - FSoE - protocol. The one software is achieved by using the Sysmac Studio for configuration, programming and maintenance. The NX safety system consists of safety controller and safety I/O units. Both the safety controller and safety I/O can be freely distributed in an I/O rack throughout the network, mixing them in any combination with standard NX I/O.
Performance and practicality for machine control
Modern machine control requires system-wide synchronisation of motion axes with microsecond accuracy. The NX I/O system offers this timing accuracy and repeatability for a wide variety of in- and outputs. Its ultra-fast internal bus system is synchronised with the Distributed Clock of the EtherCAT network, resulting in system-wide deterministic I/O operation.
