C&T Solution and Accordance Systems Showcase ASI-RPA Process Automation at ITAP Singapore 2024

Singapore, October 23, 2024 — C&T Solution, a leading provider of industrial computing solutions, recently conducted an exclusive interview at ITAP Singapore 2024 with Accordance Systems to highlight the groundbreaking ASI-RPA process automation system. The interview, featuring Jordy Hsu, Product Marketing Manager at C&T Solution, and Peter Lim, APAC Business Development Manager at Accordance Systems, explored how their collaboration is driving efficiency and automation in the semiconductor industry.
 

Revolutionizing Semiconductor Manufacturing with ASI-RPA
Accordance Systems' ASI-RPA (Automated System Integration - Robotic Process Automation) represents a major advancement in the automation of repetitive tasks within semiconductor fabs. This virtual operator system replaces manual input by taking control of the keyboard and mouse, performing tasks such as keying in data, clearing alarms, and managing equipment through visual and textual recognition. By communicating with other critical systems such as MES, DI/DO, and autoloading systems, ASI-RPA delivers seamless automation that reduces human error, optimizes uptime, and improves production rates.

“ASI-RPA is a solution tailored to meet the unique demands of the semiconductor industry,” said Peter Lim. “It enables fabs to operate more efficiently by automating standard tasks and freeing up operators to focus on higher-level work. This ultimately leads to fewer errors, less scrap, and more streamlined production.”


Empowering Automation with C&T’s BCO-3000-RPL Industrial Computers
At the heart of ASI-RPA’s performance lies C&T Solution’s rugged hardware, the BCO-3000-RPL semi-rugged industrial computer. This edge computing system is designed to handle the demanding workloads of industrial environments, offering unparalleled reliability in semiconductor fabs. With its fanless, compact design and support for high-speed data transmission, the BCO-3000-RPL ensures that ASI-RPA operates with minimal impact on equipment, maintaining seamless operations.

“The BCO-3000-RPL provides the ideal platform for ASI-RPA,” said Jordy Hsu of C&T Solution. “Its robust performance ensures that Accordance’s system can run without additional load on equipment, maintaining uptime and enabling continuous production in harsh environments.”

 

Boosting Efficiency and Productivity with Edge Automation

ASI-RPA not only controls equipment, but it also automates material loading, recipe management, and alarm clearing processes, reducing manual input and boosting fab efficiency. Its edge-based design ensures wide compatibility with different equipment types while offering a graphical user interface (GUI) that allows operators to create automation scripts without any coding experience.

With data collection and real-time monitoring integrated into the system, ASI-RPA provides complete visibility over equipment status, enabling fabs to leverage this data for predictive maintenance and continuous improvement.
