Factory automation starts with equipment connectivity. In today’s high-technology factories, reliable communications between host and equipment is required for basic operations such as lot movement, data collection and SPC as well as critical new functions such as fault detection or advanced process control (APC). PEER Group offers the broadest selection of proven connectivity products for SECS/GEM communications and control. More >>
A typical equipment manufacturer develops a new platform about every 5 to 10 years. PTO is used to build a new tool automation platform about 5 to 10 times per year! And all that knowledge is added to PTO as core features resulting in a robust and reliable tool automation software application. From simple metrology tools, to batch implanters, to vacuum cluster tools, PTO can handle every wafer transport requirement and factory scenario. More >>
Equipment automation software is difficult to get right the first time. The standards allow for too much interpretation and variation by both the manufacturers and equipment companies. As a result, proper testing is critical for fast factory acceptance and reliable production. PEER Group has three products that go way beyond basic SECS/GEM connectivity testing. More >>
Some solar / PV, LED, MEMS, and other specialty electronics manufacturers have unique manufacturing automation requirements that off-the-shelf MES products don’t address well. PEERFactory is a collection of factory automation software components that PEER Group’s experience automation software engineers use to build custom manufacturing IT solutions. More >>
