Network Your Existing Ovens
Other vendors want ovens shipped back for rework.
Challenge 2: Costly new tools
OEMs push new machines; working ovens are scrapped early.
Challenge 3: Slow requalification
New tools mean requalifying recipes, delaying production.
Solution 1: On site, nothing leaves
One oven down at a time; 3 days to a week of downtime saved.
Solution 2: Keep the oven
Add PLCs and one central server.
Solution 3: No recipe retuning
Only data and comms added; no recipe change or requalification.
Problem: the end customer required traceability, but other-brand hot-air ovens were offline and hand-logged. The OEM offered factory retrofit or new tools.
What we did:
- Added a PLC to each oven
- One central server, no IPC per unit
- Monitoring screen: temperature, status, alarms
- On site, one oven down at a time
Results:
- Traceable data for every bake
- No new tools or early scrapping
- No recipe retuning
- At least 3 days to a week of downtime and transport saved
- Alarm prediction and maintenance: fault analysis, alerts, fix logs, less unplanned downtime
- Data collection, cleansing, big data/AI analysis, custom monitoring screen
- SECS/GEM for semiconductor and substrate tools, linking old ovens to the host
- MES, EAP, PLC, energy (ESG) and ERP integration
- Handhelds, touch panels, IPCs, large displays, databases, front/back end
- Needs assessment, scheduling, technical documents
Our software runs on a PLC touch panel per oven: live monitoring, safety control, history lookup, and temperature/O2 upload to your IT server.
