The newest addition to the Adventa equipment integration toolkit, AdventaEDA, enables you to talk to the equipment that supports the SEMI Interface A standards for data collection (commonly known as Equipment Data Acquisition) and easily pull them into your automation framework.

Interface A equipment can handle any number of clients asking for different data (events, traces, exceptions) — all at the same time. You no longer need a "splitter" to distribute different sets of data to different automation clients, or a "mediator" to prevent clients from disabling each other's requests. Your automation, fault detection, and data collection clients can request and retrieve exactly the data they need. With AdventaEDA as the intermediary, your automation systems don't have to run and provide web services: the AdventaEDA server can support any number of clients, talk to any number of equipment, and talk a clients' own diverse languages.

Writing a generic client that can reliably map between the automation system's data structures and the SEMI data structures for all of the standard messages is a serious job, but AdventaEDA does all the work for you!
