Description

This project is an automated storage system implementation case for the mold and fixture warehouse of a semiconductor critical component manufacturer. The equipment specification is an extra-large 5-meter system with a single-load capacity of 500 kg. It is mainly used for the centralized storage, inbound/outbound management, and WMS system tracking of production line fixtures, molds, and related materials.

The customer has long been deeply engaged in the manufacturing of semiconductor critical components. Its factory is equipped with a large number of CNC precision machining systems and surface coating equipment, requiring a high level of efficiency in fixture and material management.

Based on the customer’s requirements, JY STE Technology planned the implementation of an extra-large vertical automated storage system and provided customized services for the WMS management system. The solution helps improve issues such as excessive space occupation by traditional racking, insufficiently systematic material management, and limited search and inventory counting efficiency.

After implementation, all inbound materials can be fully managed and tracked through the WMS system. The vertical storage design also increases storage density and space utilization, making mold and fixture warehouse management more precise, efficient, and intelligent.

Extra-large 5-meter 500 kg Automated Storage System Case Study

This case study covers the implementation of an automated storage system for moulds and fixtures at a semiconductor key component manufacturer. With more than 300 CNC precision machining and surface coating machines, the client required higher efficiency in production-line fixture, mould, and material management. APEX planned an extra-large 5-meter 500 kg vertical storage system based on the client’s fixture storage, material tracking, and customized WMS requirements, addressing excessive floor-space usage, non-systematic material management, and inefficient retrieval and inventory control.

PROJECT OVERVIEW

During the initial phone exchange, the client expressed a desire to implement a vertical storage system to improve the storage and management efficiency of fixtures and materials. After the initial site examination, APEX maintained close communication with the client, gained a detailed understanding of actual operational demands, and quickly proposed a suitable solution. With 100% independent hardware and software R&D and manufacturing, APEX could customize the WMS management system and satisfy special material-management requirements. After implementation, all inbound materials can be fully managed and tracked through the WMS system, while vertical storage improves storage density and space utilization.

1. Company Background: A Leading Semiconductor Key Component Manufacturer

Founded in 1991, this company is headquartered and has its production base in Xiangshan District, Hsinchu City. It operates four factory buildings with a total area exceeding 19,000 square meters, equipped with over 300 CNC precision machining and surface coating machines.

The founder is one of the pioneers in Taiwan’s first-generation semiconductor equipment application field. Since its establishment, the company has continuously focused on manufacturing semiconductor key components, becoming the first enterprise in Taiwan to successfully mass-produce key consumable parts for ion implanters. It has now grown into the world’s largest supplier of key components for semiconductor ion implanters.

With outstanding technical capabilities, the company serves major global semiconductor equipment manufacturers and foundries, holding a leading position in the semiconductor key component market.

2. Project Background: From Fixture Storage to Customized WMS Integration

During the initial phone exchange, the client expressed their desire to implement a vertical storage system to improve the storage and management efficiency of production-line fixtures and related materials. After completing the initial site examination, APEX maintained close communication with the client and gained a detailed understanding of the actual requirements for fixture storage, material tracking, inbound and outbound processes, and WMS management.

After confirming the requirements, APEX quickly proposed a solution that matched the client’s application. Leveraging 100% independent R&D and manufacturing of both hardware and software, APEX could customize the WMS management system and adjust it to the client’s special material-management processes.

This allowed the client to clearly experience the significant differences between an original manufacturer and overseas importer agents in technical support, customization capability, communication efficiency, and service speed, leading them to select APEX as the implementation partner.

BEFORE / AFTER

Key Differences Before and After Implementation

Upgraded from traditional shelving and inefficient manual retrieval and inventory control to complete WMS management and tracking, high-density vertical storage, and a smart storage workflow.

Before | Traditional Shelving for Fixtures and Materials

Before implementation, fixtures and materials were mainly stored on traditional shelving, occupying excessive floor space. Material management was not systematized, resulting in relatively low retrieval, inbound/outbound, and inventory-management efficiency.

Fixtures and materials stored on traditional shelving occupied excessive floor space
Material management was not systematized
Low retrieval efficiency affected on-site operations
Inventory efficiency was low and management costs were higher
