INFICON to Provide Computer Vision Location Tracking System for the Semiconductor Industry with NextMove VTS

East Syracuse, NY, USA — July 21, 2020:  INFICON, a leading provider of Smart Manufacturing/Industry 4.0 enabling software and hardware solutions for the electronics device manufacturing industry, today announced it has entered into a reseller agreement with VisAbility Solutions. Under the terms of the agreement, INFICON will integrate and be the sole reseller in semiconductor and related markets of VisAbility’s market-leading visual tracking system and provide location tracking solutions to factories around the world. VisAbility’s vision tracking system complements the functionality provided by INFICON’s operations management software, including NextMove VTS™ and Factory Scheduler™, to bring accurate and automatic real time WIP location tracking to electronics device manufacturers.

INFICON is integrating VisAbility SmartMarker™ technology support into the NextMove location tracking and management system to create NextMove VTS (Vision Tracking System).  This enables NextMove VTS to automatically locate material and provide automatic processing of WIP based upon the current location. The combined solution will also provide capability to track the location of reusable parts and equipment, such as lithography reticles and shared maintenance equipment such as helium leak detectors. INFICON will also provide direct customer support for the embedded application.

“We are excited to integrate VisAbility’s vision tracking system to help factories automatically locate and process lots,” said John Behnke, General Manager of FPS at INFICON. “Integration of the VisAbility system with INFICON applications enables fabs to better optimize WIP movement and maximize utilization of labor resources.”
