Engineering planning illustration for a traceable probe card storage system

Controlled environment, RFID and factory interfaces

Traceable Probe Card Storage System

The system manages probe card identity, environment, location, state and movement history in one flow. RFID and WMS/EAP/MES connect receipt, issue, return and inventory, with manual, AMR, robot or OHT handoff configured for the site layout.

Category planning visual. Bin, cabinet, handoff and facility structure are designed for the site.

Receive and bind identity
Read or bind RFID and verify card, state, clean/test result and target location.
Controlled storage
Execute environment, access, location and handoff interlocks and record the outcome.
Task-driven issue
Receive WMS/EAP/MES or manual tasks and complete retrieval and downstream handoff.
Return and audit
Write back state, location, exception and operation history for inventory and traceability.

CONFIGURATION

Configuration and acceptance

System configuration, optional items and acceptance conditions are summarized below.

Configuration

Nitrogen, ESD, RFID, capacity and task time are set for the card and site conditions.

System scope

RFID, WMS/EAP/MES and manual or automated handoff use one set of states and history.

Acceptance

Interface communication, exception recovery, environmental alarms and physical material flow are verified in FAT/SAT.
