Solution Overview
Problem
The process of setting and operating semiconductor machines for different products or manufacturing processes is complex and time-consuming, affecting efficiency, as operators need to frequently change settings, leading to a need for automation to enhance process efficiency.
Innovation Solution
A script creation method for robotic process automation (RPA) that records the operation process as a video, analyzes the actions, and automatically generates a script for automation, allowing semiconductor machines or electronic devices to perform operations automatically through execution of the script.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If operators manually perform setting and operations on semiconductor machines for different products or manufacturing processes, then the machine can be operated and controlled, but the operation procedure becomes complicated and time-consuming, affecting process efficiency
Solution Approach 1:
The patent records the operator's manual operation process as a video, extracts actions from the video, and automatically generates an RPA script that copies the manual operation sequence. This allows the automated script to replicate the operator's actions without manual intervention, significantly reducing operation time and improving productivity
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service automation by recording and analyzing the operator's own actions, then generating executable scripts that can autonomously perform repetitive tasks. The RPA bot serves itself by automatically executing the generated scripts without requiring continuous human operation, thereby eliminating time loss in manual operations
2Adaptability or versatility
If operators frequently change settings of semiconductor machines for different products or manufacturing processes, then the machine can adapt to different production requirements, but the complicated operation procedure reduces process efficiency
Solution Approach 1:
The system records and copies the operator's actions for different products and processes into separate RPA scripts. Each script encapsulates the specific operation sequence for a particular product or process, allowing the machine to adapt to different production requirements by executing the appropriate script without requiring the operator to manually reconfigure settings
Solution Approach 2:
The RPA system provides a universal platform that can handle multiple different products and manufacturing processes through a single automated system. The system records actions for various products and processes, then executes the corresponding scripts through the RPA bot, eliminating the need for separate manual operation procedures for each product type
3Productivity
If manual operation procedures are used for semiconductor machines, then the operator can control the machine, but the time-consuming operation procedure affects process efficiency
Solution Approach 1:
The system transforms manual operations into self-service automation by recording the operator's actions and generating executable RPA scripts. The automated bot then performs operations independently without requiring continuous manual intervention, significantly improving productivity while maintaining operational simplicity through the automated execution of recorded procedures
