Fast, open and reliable SECS GEM Software solution 

Focussia provides SECS GEM software solution and expertise to build smart equipment and factory. 

SmartGem Framework has been designed especially for semiconductor industry expectations. A SmartGem application is a set of independent threads, called Automation Services (AS) running an event driven finite State Machine and communicating all together. SmartGem logic is a light and fast SCXML script language, interpreted at run time, to facilitate live updates and tuning.

The modular design and distributed architecture of SmartGem application is the key feature to facilitate evolutive maintenance and deployment across factory, flexible enough to deal with specific tools requirements and capabilities.

SmartGem Framework comes with Integrated Development Environment (IDE), remote Webadmin application, most of the communication protocols we can find in a factory and most of SEMI standards ready to use templates.

Key Benefits

• Modular approach : Based on scripts and webservices, SmartGem can be easily extended.
• Multi HOSTs: SmartGem can be Host or Client… SmartGem can  integrate sensors, peripherals…
• Powerful Logs : Very detailed logs, with log verbosity and accurate timestamp. Unique LogAnalyzer feature
• Industry proven: With thousands of automation interfaces running it, SmartGem is a proven reliables software framework. 
• Development Flexibility : With SmartGem Scripting language, state machine model is already implemented and it is not necessary to deal with complex language, only with states, transitions, actions, events… Script is not compiled and can be easily customized.
• Low CPU usage :SmartGem can run from old industrial PC like Pentium 2 generation with Windows NT to up to date computers.
• Core Developped in Java : For an easy and fast skill transfer
• Fully integrated IDE : Faster development and DEBUG !
• Remote control for each module : Each Automation Service can be stopped or started independently. It allows fast maintenance without stopping the tool !
• Multi connectivity and protocols : SECS, VFEI, HSMS, TCPIP, Serial, ModBus, SQL, COM DCOM, FTP, CAN..
