FlatStocker is an innovative system to store material carriers e.g. open wafer cassettes and H200 boxes underneath the cleanroom ceiling.
Optimize your Fab workflow with our automated carrier storage systems: Field proven, predictable and always available
FlatStocker installation underneath the cleanroom ceiling
Use space where it isn’t needed
This innovative system is the ideal solution for the space-saving storage of material carriers e.g. open wafer cassettes and HA-200 boxes where floor space is limited and very valuable. Without using costly clean room floor space, the FlatStocker hangs from the ceiling and can be designed to handle variety of cassette types. FlatStocker provides carrier id information, in real time, to the customer’s MCS (Material Control System) using RFID and barcode technology.
FlatStocker installation with 200 storage places
Connected to a transport system and vertical lifts, the system enables fast storage or access to batches.
The simple design is based on proven industrial components. This enables great flexibility in laying out the most effective configurations to meet the customer’s storage requirements and available space.
