The Challenge

| Background

This customer is specialized in the development of ultra clean gas filling system technology for semiconductor wafer manufacturing. They require monitoring system to control the nitrogen pressure level of the FOUP machine. Their current system configuration is complicated to setup as it requires IP setting to connect FOUP serial server devices, which needs additional personnel to constantly monitoring the system. They are seeking for new system design to help improve the overall manufacturing facility efficiency, and pursuing higher product quality control.

| Challenges We Are Facing

IP configuration and management of multiple connections
High cost of deployment and maintenance
Complete system shutdown for maintenance will affect production output

The Solution

| Fast Deployment – Remote Monitoring Solution

With our SUNIX DevicePort serial expansion box, after simple driver installation, DevicePort are automatically paired and “Plug-N-Play” installed within 15 seconds. It eliminates complicated IP configuration setup and management; a big difference from other products in the market, and resolving high maintenance cost issue. In addition, status data from the machine will transmit through standard ethernet network to computers for monitoring at a remote location. It can eliminate the need for onsite personnel to monitor gas pressure level. Our DevicePort solution help improve the overall manufacturing efficiency and achieves quick project implementation and easy remote monitoring after deployment.

Predictive Maintenance for Industrial Chillers

For global leaders in the industrial chiller manufacturing, reliability of the entire production process is of the utmost importance. Chillers are refrigeration systems that produce ice water to provide cooling for a process or industrial application. One of those leaders sought a way to respond to asset performance issues, even before they occur. The intelligence to guarantee maximum reliability of cooling devices is embedded (pre-alarming). A pre-alarming phase means that the cooling device still works, but symptoms may appear, telling manufacturers that a failure is likely to occur in the near future. Chillers who are not internet connected at that moment, provide little insight in this pre-alarming phase.
