Makino is a global manufacturer of high-precision metal-cutting and Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) machines, serving customers in the automotive, aerospace and semiconductor industries. To support growing demand in Southeast Asia, the company established a new manufacturing facility in Hung Yen province, near Hanoi, dedicated to producing equipment for the semiconductor sector.
The new facility includes production lines, shipping and staging areas, a showroom, measurement areas and ambient storerooms, each with different material handling requirements.
Konecranes supplied a total of 14 cranes designed to support material handling across the facility. The delivery included single girder and double girder overhead cranes, four wall console cranes, a wall-mounted slewing jib crane and a Konecranes KBK workstation suspension crane. Together, these cranes provide lifting capacities from 500 kg to 15 tonnes and spans of up to 17.5 metres, supporting both heavy-duty lifting and precise material handling at workstation level across Makino's manufacturing processes.
A key element of the solution is the use of wall console cranes operating beneath the overhead cranes. Mounted on tracks along the walls, these cranes are well suited for serving adjacent workstations within the production area. This arrangement allows lifting operations to take place simultaneously at different levels, improving workflow while providing greater flexibility and accessibility for operators working in confined spaces.
The combination of overhead and workstation lifting solutions enables materials to be moved efficiently throughout the facility while supporting the high levels of precision required for semiconductor manufacturing.
"The cranes have streamlined our handling of heavy materials, reducing manual labour and minimising workplace injuries. The improvement in material handling has increased productivity and allowed us to maintain high-quality standards throughout our operations. " said Nguyen Thanh Hoa, Country Manager at Makino, Vietnam.
