PEER Group's GWGEM® was the very first SECS/GEM product on the market in the early 1990s and has been installed in over 40,000 tools shipped over the past 15 years. GWGEM provides equipment manufacturers with a SECS/GEM connectivity solution that eases the task of equipment-to-host communication implementation, while complying with the SEMI generic equipment model (GEM) standard. GWGEM supports 100% of GEM capabilities as specified in the latest published SEMI standard E30. PEER Group's long involvement in SEMI E30 standard activities provides users with regular updates, ensuring ongoing product compliance.

Open Architecture
