GateWay is a software solution that resides between a semiconductor process tool and the factory communication network. Its main purpose is to intercept message traffic between the equipment and the host without affecting or modifying either side. The software used in GateWay has been tested and proven in years of deployment.

GateWay functions to 

• Direct message traffic to the factory host
• Divert equipment messages to the factory network
• Duplicate existing messages for other factory applications to use

GateWay's features and benefits include:

• Web-based interface for configuration and monitoring messages
• Isolation of external applications from changes in equipment communications protocol
• Data collection enabled for external applications without software changes
• Preserved value of existing automation investments
• Increased reliability and function with zero development time
• Diagnostic tool for solving communication problems
