Automation Software for Display

Applied Materials automation software is the only comprehensive factory automation system, incorporating manufacturing execution systems (MES), manufacturing control systems (MCS) and equipment engineering systems (EES). Our track record in the display and semiconductor industries, deep understanding of LCD tools and processes, and global and local support capabilities give customers the assurance they need to forge ahead.

Using Applied Materials' automation software, manufacturers can scale their factories, reduce scrap and stabilize their processes, especially as they move into larger size glass substrates. They also discover newfound flexibility in selecting the most competitively priced hardware from AMHS transport vendors and stocker hardware vendors because Applied’s factorywide management solution works with all platforms.

Solutions

Applied automation software solutions deliver a scalable system architecture that improves performance and throughput.

Equipment Performance

• E3 FDC proven to reduce substrate scrap by 95 percent and detect problems faster than competing systems
• E3 R2R proven to improve process capability by 38 percent
• E3 AKT PECVD Leak Detection App proven to reduce maintenance downtime and improve tool throughput by 1.5 percent

Integrated Manufacturing

• FAB300 enables rapid scaling to meet high-volume panel-production ramps and facilitates high performance and throughput by handling large amounts of data
• CLASS MCS 5 proven to control multiple AMHS hardware, allowing customers to choose the best hardware vendors for different material handling components 

 
Benefits

• Speed system performance for increased throughput
• Lower equipment costs of AMHS systems by prompting competitive pricing with independent MCS
• Reduce scrap
• Improve process capability and process capability index (CpK)
