Aquest Systems has said that it has received new multiple orders for
its ‘FabEX’ AMHS solutions. The new customers include a leading
semiconductor foundry based in Taiwan and a leading DRAM memory
producer, based in South Korea.
According to Aquest Systems, the contracts call for Aquest's 'FabEX'
Transporter to be directly linked with a previously installed AMHS
system from Asyst Technologies, while another will be integrated with
an AMHS from Daifuku.
"With new customers in both Taiwan and
Korea, it is apparent that there is growing interest in our technology
from a number of the industry's leading manufacturers,” said Michael
Brain, Aquest's Vice President of Technology and Marketing. “As Taiwan
and Korea are major hubs for production, these strategic additions to
our growing customer roster solidify Aquest's position at the forefront
of the automation revolution that will significantly improve
productivity at a fraction of the cost of already installed automated
material handling systems.”
The company did not indicate whether the contracts carried a remuneration or whether they were for evaluation only.
