1. Crating and Shipping Semiconductor
Equipment
Hasit Vibhakar
Chairman, CEO, President
Telesis Technology Corporation Pvt Ltd is one of the
fastest growing diversified power transistor &
semiconductor technology companies based in emerging
India. We were originally founded in 2002 in Florida,
USA and have since relocated our entire operations and
headquarters to India.
2. Find a company with experience
and expertise
Select a crating and
shipping company that
has experience with
semiconductor
equipment or other high-
tech equipment like
robotics, complex
medical devices or optics
where unique packaging
solutions are required.
3. Select a company that "speaks
your language.
Be open to having your design
and engineering team work
closely with the packaging
company's team. They have
knowledge that can work to your
benefit by potentially lowering
your shipping costs and
ensuring that your equipment
arrives safely to its destination.
A solid packaging company
should be able to evaluate your
designs, point out flaws, suggest
alternatives and substitute
materials when appropriate.
4. Don't settle for generic solutions
Semiconductor equipment
ranges in size, weight and
sensitivity. A chip bonder can
weigh thousands of pounds
while wafers and chips
register in ounces. Opting for
generic shipping solutions can
often prove very costly. In
selecting a packaging
company for semiconductor
equipment, your goal is to
achieve customized solutions
that meet your exact
requirements.
5. See that the packager is prepared
to go global
Make certain that the shipper
has knowledge of labeling
and documentation
requirements specific to your
destinations. Are ISO
certifications required? Be
assured that your equipment
won't be compromised as a
result of a bureaucratic
snafu.
6. Select a company that understands
your shipping environments
You need a crating and
shipping company that
understands the
complexities of packaging in
a clean room environment.
Choose a company that is
willing to allow its employees
to be trained to your
standards and certified if
necessary.
7. Find a packaging company for
shipping semiconductor equipment
that puts your product's safety first
Excess moisture,
temperature and vibration
can take valuable equipment
and reduce it to zero. Be
sure to inquire about the
methods employed to reduce
shipping hazards and be
certain they meet your
standards
8. Choose a company that can stand
and deliver
If most equipment begins its
journey in a clean room,
where will it be delivered?
Can the crating and shipping
company engineer and
design packaging that is easy
to load and unload? Look for
a company that can offer tool-
less solutions, provide
custom shipping brackets or
meet any of your other
specific needs.
