Automated −40 °C Epoxy Storage with Intelligent Gantry Handling

Summary UB deployed an MMS for Epoxy Storage with a −40 °C Freezer System to automate the handling, storage, and traceability of temperature-sensitive epoxy materials used in semiconductor manufacturing. Designed for high-precision production environments, the solution consolidates multiple material workflows into a single automated station—ensuring controlled cold-chain management, accurate material tracking, and consistent process integrity. Solutions

• Automated epoxy storage system integrated with a −40 °C freezer environment

• Gantry arm for precise loading and unloading of epoxy syringes and tubes

• Separate automated handling flows for syringe and tube formats

• Integrated auto-thawing process to support production readiness

• Automated barcode scanning for material identification and verification

• Auto labelling and weighing systems for accurate tracking and inventory control

• Centralized MMS platform consolidating Liquid TIM, EB Glue, and SPMS workflows
  

Results

• Improved control and consistency in handling temperature-sensitive epoxy materials

• Reduced manual intervention in cold-storage operations

• Enhanced traceability across storage, thawing, and dispensing stages

• Improved accuracy and productivity through automated material handling

• Reduced error risk by consolidating multiple processes into one MMS station

• Improved workplace safety by minimizing manual exposure to cold environments
