Semiconductor Workshop Unmanned or Fewer-Person Management Relies on RCM System
As is well known, semiconductor factories have a very high proportion of equipment investment (mostly imported equipment, accounting for 60%-70% of capital expenditure), with a wide variety and large quantity of equipment. Abnormal shutdowns mean huge losses. On the other hand, semiconductor production must take place in a clean or even dust-free environment to avoid contamination from airborne particles, which can reduce product reliability and yield.
Under these circumstances, how can semiconductor factories effectively manage and maintain their equipment?
Greatech Eastern Intelligence recognized the semiconductor industry's need for unmanned factories and improved equipment management efficiency, thus developing the RCM equipment remote control management system. With the RCM system, staff can operate multiple devices directly from the central control room, saving significant time spent entering and exiting cleanrooms and greatly improving equipment utilization.
In this process, the RCM system needs to have the following functions:
Remote Control
Through the RCM equipment remote control management system, data analysis and collection of each equipment module's operation status are performed and transmitted to the central control room for visual display, enabling operators to monitor equipment operation and production line details at any time. Remote control management of equipment modules can be implemented when necessary, reducing personnel entry and exit and minimizing organic contamination of the environment.
KVMFunction
To improve the human-machine ratio in semiconductor factories, a small number of operators must manage a large number of equipment. Using one set of keyboard and mouse in the central control room to operate multiple devices is also an effective measure to reduce personnel movement in and out of production workshops.
HD Monitoring
In addition to understanding equipment operation data through the RCM system, staff in the central control room also need HD monitoring cameras to keep track of the workshop environment and actual equipment status, enabling timely handling of unexpected incidents during production.
Automatic Dispatch
Typically, simple and repetitive equipment management operations can be automated using OCR screen recognition technology and RPA robotic process automation. For situations requiring on-site presence (e.g., loading and unloading materials), the nearest engineer can be accurately dispatched based on personnel availability and equipment location.
Through these functional modules, the RCM system will help semiconductor manufacturing factories improve efficiency, increase the human-machine ratio and equipment capacity, and advance towards fewer-person/unmanned smart factories.
