We employ the best solutions available from standardized business rules templates to standardized error handling rules & framework. All our solutions use scalable design methodology to ensure that future needs can easily be incorporated in the existing system. The CIMAC Common User Interface (GUI) is production proven for ease of use. Tool related data can be archived on the EI for easy yet secure access from any place in the enterprise.<\/P>\n<P>CIMAC’s solid technical foundation for EI development includes the following essential capabilities. <\/P>\n<TABLE id=fcc cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width=\"90%\" align=center border=1>\n<TBODY>\n<TR>\n<TD width=\"50%\">\n<UL>\n<LI>SEMI standards knowledge <\/LI><\/UL><\/TD>\n<TD>\n<UL>\n<LI>ACM experience <\/LI><\/UL><\/TD><\/TR>\n<TR>\n<TD>\n<UL>\n<LI>Familiarity with semiconductor equipment <\/LI><\/UL><\/TD>\n<TD>\n<UL>\n<LI>Fab experience <\/LI><\/UL><\/TD><\/TR>\n<TR>\n<TD width=\"50%\">\n<UL>\n<LI>Experience with multiple tool sets <\/LI><\/UL><\/TD>\n<TD width=\"50%\" rowSpan=2>\n<UL>\n<LI>Working knowledge of Infrastructure (MES, AMHS, auto ID systems, etc.) <\/LI><\/UL><\/TD><\/TR>\n<TR>\n<TD vAlign=center>\n<UL>\n<LI>Best Industry Practice <\/LI><\/UL><\/TD><\/TR><\/TBODY><\/TABLE>\n<H3><A name=c1>Equipment Data Collection<\/A><\/H3>\n<P>CIMAC is experienced in automated data collection from both legacy and newer equipment, and utilizes both its own data collection toolkit and industry standard software. CIMAC has the knowledge to collect data from all types of manufacturing equipment, including equipment with SEMI Standard automation interfaces, equipment with PLCs, equipment with older PLCs lacking data-collection capabilities, and PLC-enabled equipment and control systems.
