PTO’s RECIF EFEM support means more automation flexibility

Kitchener, Ontario – July 9, 2015

The PEER Group Inc. is pleased to announce that PTO™ – the world’s most popular tool automation software platform – now supports the RECIF 450/300mm atmospheric equipment front end module (EFEM).

As a result of our off-the-shelf drivers and other built-in support, PTO greatly reduces your effort to provide complete tool automation.

“We continuously expand PTO’s capabilities providing more automation solution benefits to our user community. With PTO’s extensive and evolving list of plug-and-play hardware automation components, OEMs can independently select and change out tool hardware components and be confident that their automation software platform, PTO, will support their new hardware design,” says Bill Schmalz, Director of Global OEM Sales at PEER Group. “Adding the new RECIF EFEM hardware to our library of industry-standard components is beneficial to our customer base and provides additional hardware design flexibility.”

“RECIF sees the integration with PTO as a key and very positive achievement,” says Alain Jarre, Chairman and CEO at RECIF Technologies. “It was a must for our new EFEM 450/300 platform to be compatible with PTO.”

PEER Group’s sales team will be hosting PTO demonstrations at SEMICON West: Booth 1922, South Hall. Contact sales to schedule your meeting and to learn more.
