A good FAB productivity system begins with a sound and comprehensive data acquisition strategy from the equipments and their operations. Our uniquely implemented equipment states and operational data acquisition system - the DACserver_OUI is designed to support equipments that are SECS/GEM compliant and also those that are not. Equipment states data of the later are captured via a programmable Data Acquisition Devices (DAD) which tap the states signals from appropriate points from the non-SECS compliant equipments. Operational inputs are captured through an ergonomic Operator-User-Interface (OUI).

The DACserver_OUI system re-maps, collates and deposits these acquired data into a unified database following the SEMI E10 standards recommendation to ensure data consistency, accuracy and integrity while maintaining that relevant equipment and operational productivity KPIs such as OEE, MTBF/MTBA/MTTR, Throughput, Alarms Pareto and their root causes, can be easily analyzed and drill down to help address the hard to diagnosed chronic production losses.
