ControlWORKS is a fully
integrated, object-oriented development environment that enables applications to be fully
portable in several hardware/operating systems. Specifically designed to
control semiconductor process equipment, ControlWORKS minimizes the expense and
time-to-market associated with developing control applications. Its open
development framework allows you to concentrate on the unique behavior required
by your tool. Instead of wasting valuable time creating software from scratch,
equipment OEMs are able to modify the ControlWORKS features that offer a
competitive advantage.
When you choose ControlWORKS, you
inherit the project experience and knowledge that has resulted in over 10,000
systems shipped. ControlWORKS
has been deployed in production since 1994 by Adventa and by our customers. Our professional team maintains
the ControlWORKS development
environment so you can concentrate on the issues that add the highest value to
your tool control application. ControlWORKS is continually enhanced to adhere to industry standards.
ControlWORKS customers typically experience the following
benefits:
- Faster time-to-market: Customers configure
existing code versus developing from scratch so standards-compliant
equipment control is delivered in months
- Lower development and maintenance costs: The
ControlWORKS environment makes software staffs more productive because
Adventa delivers most of the code required to operate a complex
semiconductor process tool. Customers automatically inherit new features
provided by Adventa and the ControlWORKS user group, which minimizes
development effort by the customer. ControlWORKS customers experience a
very high percentage of code reuse on subsequent tool projects.
- Hardware and operating system portability:
ControlWORKS is designed to be hardware and operating system platform
independent. Use any robotics, supervisory computer, embedded computers,
and operating systems you choose.
- Experience greater reliability and robustness:
The same software framework has been used in production fabs for over
thirteen years and is continuously tested by hundreds of developers.
