_____________________________________________________________________________
Silicon Integrated Systems (SIS) is a leading integration chipset
maker with the first 586-generation class in the world. SIS previously
used a PC, installed with a multiport board, to connect its wafer
testing machines and robots. But when the need for a more versatile
solution arose, they chose MOXA NPort Server Pro to build a more
scalable and cost-effective system to control their precision
devices. This newer system has vastly reduced maintenance cost,
since engineers are now able to control and monitor their wafer
manufacturing and testing machines remotely via the Ethernet.
Moreover, by using NPort Server Pro, SIS has created a new system
that is more economic, efficient, and easier to maintain and control.
Concerning the CIM (Computer Integrated Manufacturing) system
used by SIS, wafer manufacturing and testing equipment such as
robots and testing machines, are attached to NPort Server Pro
via the Ethernet. With this new system, all of the valuable production
data can be sent back to the management center in real-time to
simplify the workflow of the host and to expedite the management
center's decision-making process. NPort Server Pro does not require
a host's limited slot resources, so there is no need to buy extra
PCs just to add serial devices, or to upgrade PCs to improve performance.
In this case, SIS has not only improved the management of their
factory automation, but has also saved tremendous time and money,
since they no longer need to purchase and set up additional PCs.
Overall Benefit:
Cost-effectiveness; convenient maintenance.
