摘要： An autonomous crib system. The system includes a storage unit having a series of shelves and a plurality of bins on each shelf adapted to receive items to be stored and to be retrieved. A locator is associated with each bin for assisting a user with identifying a bin containing a desired item to be retrieved and a counter is associated with each bin for measuring the quantity of the items stored in the bin. A hub is adapted to actuate the locator based on user input on an item to be retrieved and to provide item information based on quantity information received from the counters. The system may further include a management system adapted to manage inventory within the storage unit by storing information for each item and updating information for each item based on quantity information received from the counters by the hub.

摘要： A production line comprises one or more assembling stations and at least one module for carrying containers for supplying to the assembling stations parts which are necessary during the execution of a working cycle. In one example, the module includes a paternoster conveying system including a plurality of drawings for containing the parts. The module includes two endless lateral chains and two lateral guide rails engaged with each drawer. The paternoster system and guide rails selectively position the drawers to downwardly angularly rotate toward the workstation when facing the workstation to increase ergonomic access to the parts for the assembling station operator.

摘要： A buffer station provides potential improvement for the operation of a facility. By storing to-be accessed workpieces in the buffer stations of an equipment, the operation of the facility is not interrupted when the equipment is down. The workpieces can be retrieved through emergency access port of the buffer station, thus ensure the continuous supply of workpieces for the workpiece flow of the facility. Algorithm for getting the needed workpieces to the buffer station is also provided through a controller or a computer mechanism. The buffer station can be incorporated in a stocker, such as wafer stocker or reticle stocker.

摘要： A device for the accumulation and release of products arranged within containers comprises a main accumulation unit with a reception opening and a first delivery opening, the containers being guided between the openings. The device is provided with a second accumulation unit operationally in communication with the main unit and having a second delivery opening. The device uses an actuator for selectively moving containers loaded with products from the main accumulation unit to the second unit, in order to selectively by-pass the first delivery opening and enable containers to be unloaded at the second delivery opening provided in the second accumulation unit.
