Preguntas frecuentes
-
What factors determine the cost of automating a semiconductor warehouse or cleanroom?
The cost depends on the required automation modules, contamination control level (ISO class) and type of automated transport systems (like AMRs, FOUP/FOSB storage). Since semiconductor operations have stringent ESD and cleanliness requirements, solutions are highly customized. For an exact cost estimate, please get in touch with our experts here.

How long does it take to implement automation in a semiconductor environment?
Implementation timelines depend on cleanroom layout, throughput required, and integration with existing MES and fab systems. Modular solutions such as FOUP transport Mobico or automated Vertex can go live in phases within months. Stepwise deployment ensures zero contamination risk and seamless handover across cleanroom zones.
