Collaborative Automation for −40 °C Epoxy Storage Control

Summary UB deployed an MMS for Epoxy Storage with a −40 °C Freezer System powered by a collaborative robot (cobot) to automate the handling, storage, and traceability of temperature-sensitive epoxy materials in semiconductor manufacturing. Designed for high-reliability production environments, the solution combines precise robotic handling with controlled cold-chain management to improve safety, accuracy, and operational consistency. Solutions

• Automated epoxy storage system integrated with dual −40 °C freezer units

• Six-axis collaborative robot (cobot) for flexible loading and unloading operations

• Automated thawing process to ensure epoxy readiness for production use

• Integrated barcode scanning for material identification and verification

• Auto weighing system for accurate material tracking and inventory control

• Mixer system integration to support downstream production requirements

• Centralized MMS platform consolidating multiple epoxy workflows into one station
  

Results

• Improved safety by reducing manual handling in low-temperature environments

• Enhanced accuracy and consistency in epoxy storage and retrieval

• Improved traceability across storage, thawing, and usage stages

• Reduced handling errors through collaborative robotic automation

• Increased productivity with an all-in-one MMS station supporting multiple processes
