EDAlink

EDAlink is a complete hardware and software solution for all data collection needs for the semiconductor and related industries. It collects data from tools using a variety of protocols and makes that data available not only via the emerging SEMI EDA standard, but also via other accepted standards by taking advantage of an adaptable plug in architecture. With EDAlink, end users of the data, including application providers, tool providers, and device manufacturers, can focus on the productive use of that data rather than on the methodology used to gather it.

CIMAClink

CIMAClink is an integrated development and execution environment designed to flexibly meet demanding factory automation requirements. It is based on industry standards, which can be customized for a specific industry with drivers and adapters provided by CIMAC. Users can efficiently deploy equipment interfaces through the use of CIMAClink editors in conjunction with templates and library components.

CIMACtoolLink

CIMACtoolLink is an integrated development and execution environment, which provides interface between the tool control software and its external components. Its development environment is easy to use and allows complex manufacturing requirements to be accomplished with minimal custom programming effort. The resulting executable software can be configured to reside in or outside of the tool thus providing a flexible and robust interface between the tool and its external components. CIMACtoolLink is composed of a multi-threaded State-Machine Engine, and one or more Automation Connectors, based on XML technology and uses a SECS-GEM package, which complies with 300mm SEMI Standard. Each Automation Connector is loosely coupled to a transparent Transport Layer, which provides the means for communicating to external applications. CIMAC provides plug-in transport layer wrappers for the following communications technologies and products: MSMQ, JMS, TCP/IP Socket, MQ Series, Rendezvous, and HTTP. The Automation Connector's intelligence is created and maintained with an editor, stored as an XML file and used when the connectors are started. These connectors perform a symphony of unparalleled integrated processing.

FabRx

FabRx is a suite of integrated software components enabling customers to obtain accurate status information for material equipment. FabRx can extend current MES system capabilities by providing corporate managers, planners, and engineers with multi-site visibility down to the tool/lot level. It is a pure multi-platform java product configurable to give a Windows, Motif or Java look and feel.
