Off-the-Shelf MES Integration

AutoSimulations offers MES Adapters, its "off-the-shelf" integration module for integrating manufacturing execution software (MES) with the company 's scheduling and dispatching software, AutoSimulations Productivitiy Family (APF) software suite.

The APF real-time scheduling and dispatching software is unique because it offers a quick, off-the-shelf solution to integrating reporting and dispatching software with the leading MES packages for semiconductor manufacturing. Standard adapters are offered for Poseidon (ITS) , Workstream by Consilium (Applied Materials), FACTORYworks by FASTech (a Brooks Automation company) and Promis Encore by Promis (a division of PRI).

These MES Adapters quickly integrate with a fab's installed MES and allows manufacturers to begin producing schedules without the costs or time of customized integration.

The Productivity Family software suite improves productivity, increases throughput and reduces work-in-process and cycle time through real-time scheduling and dispatching. APF's major components include: the Real Time Dispatcher, for real-time scheduling and dispatching; and the APF Reporter, which transforms raw data from the MES into useful time-based analysis information to help fab managers better understand their production processes.
