Kitchener, Ontario –  July 6, 2015

In today’s competitive marketplace, fabs expect OEMs to provide continuous improvements on uptime and yield. In response, OEMs are looking for ways to meet these demands in a cost-effective manner.

PEER Group—the leading supplier of semiconductor automation software—has combined our unique expertise with equipment connectivity and factory automation to develop a new product that will enable OEMs to provide best-in-class service to their fab customers.

We would like to introduce you to the newest addition in our product portfolio: Remicus™. Its cloud-based infrastructure enables secure, scalable remote access to equipment and equipment data, empowering geographically-dispersed experts.

Pronounced reh-Me-cuss, the name is a combination of “remote” and a play on the Latin word for friend, amicus. Remicus enables the human cloud whereby a distributed team works together efficiently towards a common goal. Local service technicians in a fab collaborate with tool experts at OEM headquarters. Imagine an OEM having the ability to support all deployed equipment, regardless of location.

Remicus provides a secure communication tunnel designed to protect both fab information and equipment-maker IP and meets the requirements of the most highly-secured corporate networks. Our flexible solution is based on cloud technology for scalability, meeting the peak data throughput needs of the largest to the smallest OEMs.

Our sales team will be hosting Remicus demonstrations at Semicon West: Booth 1922, South Hall. Contact sales to schedule your meeting and to learn more.
