Research Equipment Design

Challenge:

Startup customer possessed minimum operations infrastructure (2 founders)
Needed outsourcing partner to grow

Solution:

Began by producing lower scale sub-assemblies and engineering support
Migrated to higher level, critical sub-assemblies and system design
Culminated into full system qualification and direct shipment to global end-users
End-User acceptance testing occurs at Innovent today
Ongoing virtual factory
Low Mix / Medium Volume Production

Customer Design

Challenge:

Substrate specification changed, needed backside vacuum grip for substrate in through-hole via process

Solution:

We redesigned the end-effectors to have a unique parameter vacuum grip design while still supporting the whole substrate with a variable pitch wrist design

Medical Device Fabrication Equipment

Challenge:

Customer eliminated in-house manufacturing for tooling/fixtures
Migrated to outsourced business model
Provided minimum product documentation

Solutions (across multiple product types):

We were required to reverse engineer 20-70% of the product content/documentation including:

Bills of Materials
Component Drawings
Assembly Procedures
Test Processes
Co-developed product improvements
Very High Mix / Low Volume Production

Semiconductor Equipment Manufacturer

Challenge:

Customer changed operations model to FIT-Only, Final Integration and Test for two mainstream products
Needed operations partner
Required cleanroom assembly

Solution:

Developed full manufacturing cleanroom cells to support:
Sub-assembly build and test
System level assembly
Low Mix / Medium Volume Production

Semiconductor Components Manufacturer

Challenge:

Customer needed outsourcing partner for mature flow control valve line

Solution:

Developed complete forecast driven kanban manufacturing cell to support six major product models with dozens of configurations
Assembly and test
Moved and optimized production line
Fully integrated, extended factory
High Mix/ High Volume Production

Customer Designed End Effectors

Challenge:

Customer designed and deployed their own end-effectors with minimal testing.
These end-effectors proved to have a high-level of striction resulting in poor wafer release

Solution:

Maintaining the same wrist geometry, we redesigned the vacuum holding structure, altered the coating and pad material to decrease friction.
