Learners will become proficient in needed semiconductor industry skills such as conducting preventative maintenance routines on pneumatic systems and identifying and interpreting pneumatic components and technologies given pneumatic diagrams.

Semiconductor Vacuum Technology Training

Understanding and Repairing Vacuum technologies is a vital skill in the semiconductor manufacturing industry. Toolkit's Semiconductor Industry Training Initiative (SITI) brings industry-leading technologies from SMC to learners' fingertips to gain mastery over these important skills. Students are expected to learn and understand vacuum technologies, what creates vacuums, and how to create low/high/ulta high vacuum levels. Learners will master how to create vacuum pumps and gauges, how to perform preventative maintenance procedures, and how to troubleshoot and repair vacuum systems.

Programmable Logic Controller - PLCs

The SITI training program includes hands-on training and curriculum in PLC programming, a key automation components of manufacturing in the semiconductor industry. Students will learn key attributes and concepts behind PLCs and automated manufacturing, how to program automated systems, and how to troubleshoot integrated automation systems.

Semiconductor Robotics Training

Semiconductor manufacturing relies heavily on automated systems, automated manufacturing, and robotic systems to produce highly precise and consistent results. Semiconductor manufacturing technicians and professionals can be expected to program, maintain, calibrate, and repair automated robot systems. Learners who complete SMC's Semiconductor Industry Training Initiative will learn how to install automated systems that include robots, end effectors, automated material handling systems and more. Additionally, they will know how to repair, troubleshoot, and maintain all advanced manufacturing systems in the semiconductor industry.

Semiconductor Sensors Technology Training

Semiconductor manufacturing relies on sensors for quality control, quality assurance, and manufacturing. Students will be expected to know the ins-and-outs of industrial sensor types, how to install, calibrate, set tolerances, and integrated into advanced automation systems.

Advanced Manufacturing + Automation Training

Advanced Manufacturing and advanced automation is at the core of any semiconductor manufacturing environment. Semiconductors are the technologies they encompass are modern manufacturing marvels. Training for the Semiconductor Industry relies heavily on training in advanced manufacturing and automation, and their relevant technologies like robotics, machine vision, and more.
