Hitachi will participate in SEMICON Southeast Asia (SEMICON SEA 2026) to address key challenges the semiconductor industry is facing today and to answer the pressing question of “What’s next in sustainable semicon manufacturing?”
Through innovations such as autonomous mobile robot (AMR), automation, equipment front-end modules (EFEMs) and oil-free compressed air systems, Hitachi is helping chipmakers accelerate decarbonisation across global manufacturing operations.
At SEMICON SEA 2026, Hitachi will showcase a comprehensive suite of semiconductor capabilities across two pillars—Materials / Logistics and Production—to enhance the operational efficiency of semiconductor fabrication facilities sustainably:
To give visitors the ultimate hands-on experience, the latest EFEM model, hLFF EFEM, will be on display at the Hitachi Group Company, JR Automation (JRA) booth (booth 2102). Visitors can gain practical knowledge on how to use the unit to support next-generation process-handling to meet the ever-changing demands of the chips design through live demonstrations.
