Software-Coordinated Line-Side & WIP Flow

MagFleet-Managed Execution with Magnus Prime 2

SESTO Robotics deployed MagFleet to coordinate line-side and WIP flow within a semiconductor environment, using Magnus Prime 2 AMRs as execution units.

MagFleet acted as the central coordination layer, generating, sequencing, and dispatching tasks between process areas, and handover points. Task logic, priorities, and routing behaviour were managed centrally in software to support execution across production areas. 

Challenges:
  • WIP and carrier movement relied on manual communication, making timing inconsistent and difficult to manage across shifts.
  • Tool availability, lot prioritisation, and temporary buffers required frequent decisions that were hard to coordinate consistently.
  • Supervisors lacked a consolidated view of queued, active, and completed tasks across production areas.
Solution:
  • Tasks were created, queued, prioritised, and dispatched automatically based on operational needs.
  • MagFleet managed task order, zone access, and routing logic to support flow between process tools and line-side stations.
  • Magnus Prime 2 units transported carriers and WIP with stable navigation and predictable behaviour, while MagFleet handled task logic and flow.
  • Routes, priorities, and task logic were updated in MagFleet to reflect process changes, new product variants, and evolving layouts.

All activity was monitored centrally, giving operations teams clear visibility into what was queued, in progress, and completed.

Outcome:
  • Tasks followed repeatable, software-defined patterns across all shifts.
  • MagFleet replaced ad-hoc coordination with structured, system-driven task management.
  • Supervisors gained clearer insight into execution status, priorities, and emerging bottlenecks.
