Fortrend successfully concluded its participation at SEMICON China 2026, held March 25–27, 2026 at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre.

Located at Hall N3, Booth 3617, Fortrend welcomed semiconductor manufacturers, equipment builders, and industry partners from across the region to explore the company’s latest automation technologies for wafer and reticle handling.

Showcasing Flexible Automation Solutions

At this year’s exhibition, Fortrend presented a broad range of semiconductor automation systems designed to improve precision, contamination control, and production efficiency.

The booth featured multiple tool models, including:

● Vacuum transfer systems for stable and contamination-controlled wafer movement

● SMIF arms engineered for reliable handling in cleanroom environments

● Wafer sorters designed to support high-mix manufacturing and efficient material flow

● Advanced load port solutions for semiconductor equipment integration

● Highly adaptable wafer transfer arms capable of supporting a wide range of process and tool configurations

These demonstrations gave visitors a closer look at how Fortrend’s modular automation platforms can be configured to meet the specific needs of semiconductor manufacturing equipment and fab operations.

Strong Interest in Wafer Handling and Equipment Integration

Throughout the three-day exhibition, many visitors expressed strong interest in Fortrend’s wafer handling technologies and equipment integration capabilities.

Discussions at the booth focused on several key topics, including:

● Improving throughput while maintaining precise wafer positioning

● Increasing flexibility for different wafer sizes and carrier formats

● Supporting contamination-sensitive environments with SMIF-based automation

● Simplifying integration between load ports, transfer systems, and process tools

The strong response highlighted the growing demand for automation platforms that combine reliability, adaptability, and cleanroom-ready performance.
