Semiconductor Packaging and Testing Leader Verifies Benefits: Autonomous Handling Robots of CiLS Accelerate Deployment in Third-Party Logistics

In this era of rapidly changing supply chains, warehousing systems face challenges such as space shortages, insufficient operational accuracy, manpower shortages, and rising costs. Particularly in high-frequency inbound and outbound logistics for the semiconductor and electronics industries, warehousing accuracy and efficiency have become key indicators of a company’s competitiveness. A global leader in the semiconductor supply chain has become the first to introduce AI autonomous mobile robots (AMR) at its Taiwan facility, which was developed by Coretronic Intelligent Logistics Solutions (CiLS). This successful implementation has automated operational processes and significantly reduced the reliance on manpower. The technology is flexibly applied across diverse warehousing scenarios, including push-back racks, movable racks, and gravity flow racks, substantially boosting overall warehousing processing efficiency. CiLS will use this successful case as a benchmark to actively expand its AMR solutions into the 3PL industry, continuing to provide more efficient, safer, and cost-effective intelligent handling services.

Safety, Manpower Savings, and Cost Reduction: Immediate Benefits
This successful case comes from a world-leading semiconductor packaging and testing manufacturer with a monthly production capacity of up to 58 million USD, which is also investing NT$6.6 billion in early 2025 to expand its new process production lines. The introduction of the CiLS AMR system achieved the following results:
  • Zero operational accidents: AMR reduces operational risks through AI prediction and error-proofing mechanisms.
  • Manpower Demand Reduced by Over 33%: AMR replaces manpower in repetitive tasks.
  • Construction Costs Reduced by 75%: The cost is only 25% of a traditional AS/RS automated storage and retrieval system, but it achieves comparable automation performance.

AI Vision Positioning and Dynamic Scheduling Address Warehousing Pain Points in One Go
As warehouse space density increases and racks get higher, traditional handling methods struggle to meet modern warehousing’s demands for efficiency and flexibility. Enterprises urgently need a smart handling solution that can be quickly deployed and flexibly adapt to diverse operational scenarios. The AMR system of CiLS offers immediately operational and high scalability. Furthermore, the newly developed next-generation AI AMR is specifically designed for complex applications, such as high-precision navigation, narrow-space operations, and high-level rack access, and features the following core technologies:
  • Adjustment of Seasonal Storage Location: Work zones are divided into manual and automated areas. During the peak season, floor-stacking locations are set up in the automated area, where AMR forklifts are used for the natural, rack-less stacking of goods.
  • Intelligent Scheduling and Path Dispatch: Flexible task scheduling and intelligent path dispatch capabilities can quickly adapt to diverse order demands.
  • Dynamic Inventory Adjustment for High Fluctuation Inbound/Outbound: The AMR system responds instantly to retrieval, replenishment, and change tasks, dynamically adjusting inventory.
  • High-Reach Forklift Application: Automatically retrieves and places goods on high-level racks, significantly reducing manual operation risk.
  • AI Detection, Recognition, and Compensation Positioning Technology: Dynamic detection of rack height and compensation for height differences. It can also precisely align with push-back racks, adapting to diverse, complex rack designs.
  • AMR System Integration: Connects with equipment such as conveyors and robotic arms to automatically perform picking and handling, saving human effort.
  • 3D Detection: Corrects the angle for picking and placing goods to prevent skewing and tilting.
  • WMS and MCS Management System Integration: Instantly records cargo location and inventory dynamics.
  • Intelligent Handling Planning: The system plans routes and dispatches vehicles, enhancing the operational flow.
  • Real-time Data Analysis: Reduces waiting times and prevents collisions, improving use and task completion rates.

By introducing the AMR automated handling system, the use of AI navigation and real-time scheduling allows for the precise positioning of deep storage locations and automatically coordinates the shortest routes, effectively boosting operational efficiency and lowering manual operation risks.
