Abstract

A system for a semiconductor fabrication facility includes a maintenance tool, a control unit, a first track, a second track, a maintenance crane movably mounted on the first track, a plurality of first sensors disposed on the first track, an OHT vehicle movably mounted on the second track, and a second sensor on the OHT vehicle. The first sensors detect a location of the maintenance crane and generate a first location data to the control unit. The second sensor generates a second location data to the control unit.
