Sorter View#

Overview#

The Sorter View visualizes the results of Sorter Operations, showing the current state of the wafers and their movements.

How To Access#

The Sorter View is available only for Sorter Resources (more info). It is accessible via a button in the Views panel on the Resource Page.

Details#

The view displays the load ports of the resource. Each load port shows the positions inside the container docked.

The positions with wafers, the view will show the name of the Wafer (left) and the Physical ID in MES (right).

Warnings may appear regarding the slot map based on the most recent equipment information saved via IoT. Clicking the warning icon reveals more information about misplacements or positions that should be empty or filled.

The left panel lists materials dispatched, in process or processed in the resource, with the associated Resource Job type.

Configurations#

The order of load ports follows the structure of the main resource.

The positions orientation can be "Top To Bottom" or "Bottom To Top" defined by the container's orientation property (default: "Top To Bottom").

How To Use#

Selecting a material shows all the movements in the associated Resource Job.

These movements have the following characteristics:

• Full blue indicates where the wafer is in MES
• Blue dashed indicates a planned/future position (beginning process) or the origin position (end process)

• The view will show the name of the Wafer in MES (left) and the Physical ID in the movement (right)

• Movement status icons (representing the process state):

  • Transfer planned - the operation has not begun
  • Transfer in progress - the wafer is in process (movement status: InProgress)
  • Transfer completed - the wafer is in the new position and tracked out (movement status: Complete)
  • Waiting for target information - target container/position is missing in the resource job movements; the operator must fill it (movement status: WaitingInfo)

• Potential warnings:

  • Physical ID mismatch: the equipment’s physical ID (Laser Scribed) does not match the material’s physical ID in MES
  • Others warnings related with slot-map (position must be filled or empty)

For scan validate and synchronize the status icons will not appear, only warnings.

To see the movements in Resoure Job, the operator can click in the view button and the wizard "View Job Details" will open.

Administration#

Sorter Resources should have the SemiRequiresMaterialMovement attribute set to True.

In MES the Physical Id can be stored in an attribute configured by the following configuration entry:
