SECS/GEM is the communications standard for high-technology equipment. OPC is the communications standard for PLC-based equipment. PEER Group brings SECS/GEM and OPC together to deliver fast and easy factory communications for semiconductor, solar, MEMs, LED and other high-technology manufacturing equipment.

Using GEM4Tools®, you can have GEM E30 support on your equipment in just a few days. With minimal knowledge of the SEMI standards, a non-programmer who understands OPC can complete the entire project without training. GEM4Tools provides nearly instant E30 GEM compliance to numerous HMI/SCADA software packages that support OPC including Rockwell's RSView32 and FactoryTalk View, Wonderware Intouch, GE's Cimplicity and iFix, Siemens' SIMATIC WinCC, and National Instrument's Labview.
