Fab/Host Challenges
SECS/GEM Challenges – How Can We Help?
Fab/Host-Side Challenges (Integration & Automation Teams)
You want to pull SECS/GEM data into your fab or factory systems quickly — without spending weeks building and debugging a custom host from scratch. TransSECS allows you to store event report data in database tables quickly and easily, no code required.
When building a SECS/GEM host application, you need reliable tools to test against — but constant access to production tools can be limited. With TransSECS, you can connect once to capture a tool’s VIDs, CEIDs, and ALIDs, then automatically build a digital twin — ideal for development, testing, and demos.
Your fab already has SCADA, MES, or cloud-based systems in place — and you don’t want a standalone SECS/GEM host that creates a data silo. TransSECS lets you expose SECS/GEM data over OPC UA, MQTT, Sparkplug B or other protocols so it flows cleanly into your existing infrastructure, dashboards, or databases.
It’s not enough to just connect to the tool — you need the right event reports, variables, and trace data when it matters. TransSECS gives you multiple ways to collect data: define event reports, trigger variable collection on specific events (using S1F3), or set up trace messages — all without writing a custom host from scratch and easily storing timestamped data to databases.
