Cimetrix Announces Summer Edition of 'The Standard'
Second Issue Continues Discussion on Interface A With Leading Industry Experts
SALT LAKE CITY, July 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Cimetrix, Inc. , a leading provider of factory automation software and solutions for the global semiconductor and electronics industries, announced today that it has released the Summer 2006 edition of The Standard, a newsletter providing global information and technical details relating to the Semiconductor Equipment and Materials International (SEMI) Interface A standards. The second edition of The Standard reviews current industry developments related to Interface A, discusses the emerging Tool Data Interface (TDI) specifications, and includes input from equipment suppliers and industry leaders on their implementation experience and issues.
Interface A facilitates high speed, on demand collection of quality data from manufacturing equipment. These standards provide Integrated Device Manufacturers (IDMs) access to more comprehensive and useful data for Equipment Engineering Systems (EES) applications such as equipment diagnostics systems and advanced process control applications. The Summer 2006 issue of The Standard builds upon the previous edition and provides further information regarding implementation of the Interface A standards, drawing on the expertise of Cimetrix specialists and industry leaders, including Bostjan Pust, of leading equipment supplier SEZ, AG and Harvey Wohlwend from International SEMATECH Manufacturing Initiative (ISMI).
"The overwhelming positive reaction to the inaugural issue of The Standard encouraged Cimetrix to deliver more in-depth information related to the Interface A standards, and additionally to foster discussions with IDMs and equipment suppliers on known integration issues," said Dave Faulkner, executive vice president of Sales and Marketing for Cimetrix. "We are happy to share our implementation experiences and pleased to provide the industry a platform for discussions on the new emerging standards."
