SEMI Standards for Smart Manufacturing
SEMI is a global industry association that serves the manufacturing supply chain for semiconductor, photovoltaics (PV), electronics, and other high-tech industries. SEMI governs the SEMI International Standards Program and has created the SEMI Standards, an evolving collection of technical agreements between suppliers and customers in the industry.
The SEMI Automation Standards enable critical success factors for the industry, including Big Data acquisition and advanced analytics capabilities. Understanding the ins and outs of the standards is essential to our success as the industry’s largest supplier of factory automation software. Our leadership on several SEMI technology committees and task forces puts us in a unique position to offer commentary on a variety of focus areas.

Definitions of SEMI Standards
PEER Group products support several communication and automation SEMI Standards. Click from the list below to learn more about a specific Standard and which PEER products support it.
SEMI provides several complimentary files (Schema and WSDL files, requirements, examples, etc.) that augment various SEMI Standards. You can download these complimentary files at semi.org.
Please note: we are active on various SEMI automation standards committees, and we review all updates to the standards as they are published. Whenever we release a new version of a PEER Group product, we specify compliance to specific versions of the SEMI standards. Your product version might also support later versions of a SEMI standard since many updates to the standards are editorial, part of a regular 5-year renewal cycle, or have no effect on your product’s functionality. To inquire about support for more recent versions of any SEMI standard, please contact our technical support team through our secure customer support portal.
