Automating Multi-Floor Reel Transfer and Packaging in Semiconductor Production

Summary

To improve productivity and reduce cross-floor logistics bottlenecks, the client implemented an AMR-based reel transfer and auto-packing solution. The project connected three production floors through intelligent transport routes and lift integration, enabling fully automated reel movement from QC to packaging and warehousing areas. This marked a major step toward smart factory operations and 24/7 unmanned logistics.

Business Challenges

• Manual transfer of reels between QC, production, and warehouse floors.

• Limited lift coordination and narrow corridor spaces.

• Frequent handling errors and inconsistent flow between packaging stages.

Solutions

• Deployed cleanroom-capable AMRs (500 kg payload) for multi-floor reel transfer.

• Integrated lift and auto-door systems to connect QC, packaging, and warehouse floors.

• Implemented a fully automated reel packing system, including robotic pickup, auto-folding, labelling, and palletizing functions for 24/7 unmanned operation.

• Added smart charging stations to support continuous operation.

Results

• Enabled continuous 24/7 reel transfer and packaging operations.

• Improved space utilization and flow coordination between floors.

• Reduced human error and manual handling fatigue.

• Achieved digital visibility of material movement and packing status in real time.
