Advanced assembly automation

The advanced assembly automation (AAA) concept automates and integrates the entire assembly and packaging process. From wafer preparation to test, the Autoline system is no longer limited to a single track robot, automating die bond, cure, wire bond, and mold. Several Autolines, stand-alone equipment, and in-line systems can now be linked by an overhead monorail system. The AAA control system manages all production-relevant tasks, optimizes the work flow, allows lot tracking, reduces WIP, and provides easy access to data required by a factory host system (CIM integration).
