Agileo announces expansion of A²ECF-SEMI automation framework with SEMI EDA standards

Agileo Automation, a leading provider of control and connectivity solutions for global semiconductor manufacturing equipment, announced the future expansion of its A²ECF-SEMI automation framework to include SEMI’s EDA (Equipment Data Acquisition) standards suite. 

This integration that already includes Agil’GEM and Agil’GEM300 will empower OEMs to deliver structured, high-bandwidth data to manufacturing facilities and drive process improvements with artificial intelligence (AI) by leveraging large amounts of reliable, actionable data. EDA standards, built on the legacy of SECS/GEM and GEM300, are transforming equipment communication and enabling high-speed, data-driven manufacturing. 

As semiconductor fabs become more connected and automated, the ability of OEM equipment to integrate seamlessly and deliver high-quality, structured data has become a competitive differentiator.

Agileo Automation has carried out EDA Freeze 2 client and server tests with equipment manufacturers already supporting EDA and is working with these early adopters on the integration on their equipment using A²ECF-SEMI, Agil'GEM, and Agil'GEM300. The company will soon be providing a comprehensive offer for OEMs in need of EDA Freeze 2 or 3. EDA is increasingly required in RFQs that equipment manufacturers must address.

“EDA is going to enable fabs to realize superior yields, faster innovation cycles, and a sustainable competitive advantage in an ever-accelerating market,” explains Marc Engel, CEO of Agileo Automation. “Agileo is proud to be a major contributor to this global effort and pleased to support OEMs in all market segments with a complete and scalable product suite.”
