Semiconductor Industry

The line solution

Electronic manufacturing requires quick product changes and adjustments in many cases. Integrated and well-matched hardware and software help here. Even line configurations can be set up in a few minutes offline with the click of a mouse, which reduces changeover-time and downtime and increases efficiency and productivity. Continuous communication between the individual machines and to higher-level production planning and control systems guarantees complete recording and traceability of the entire process.

Highest possible precision

Speed and precision are not contradictions - high-performance control electronics with built-in intelligence controls processes in the microsecond range. Real-time industrial Ethernet is the foundation for synchronized interaction between individual sub-processes. Continued development guarantees that B&R meets the requirements of the industry and market in this ever-changing area.

Open system architecture

Innovation is key. With this guiding principle and a completely open system structure. B&R is an ideal partner for all companies that also clearly focus on innovation. In addition to the integration of highly sophisticated algorithms e.g. in "C", the dynamic I/O configuration makes it possible to always use the same software on different hardware topologies.

Process security

Inline quality control, flexible product identification and product tracking are requirements for high-quality electronic components. Continued upgrades guarantee that B&R meets the requirements of the industry and market in this ever-changing area. The total integration of all automation components in a central development tool as well as hardware components that can be identified clearly at any time form the foundation of complete transparency during development and operation.

A global and innovative industry needs equal partners

The fast growth in the electronic industry and Moore's law require continually increasing productivity combined with cost optimization. A high level of innovation, top quality, international standards and worldwide support make B&R a preferred partner.

Integration provides a competitive edge

Through complete integration of control, motion and visualization, which results in greatly minimized communication times, the performance of machines and systems can be drastically increased. Our consistent implementation of standardized, open structures for communication, programming, data handling and functionality provide a decisive competitive edge.

Total cost of ownership

Highest level of availability

In the semiconductor industry, the availability of systems and machines is an absolute necessity. Minimized downtime is as important as smooth automated operation. Intuitive and sophisticated diagnostics functions and open interfaces provide support as does an international and knowledgeable partner.
