Factova Control: screen showing real-time PLC status, protocols, and tag values for each piece of equipment

Automation Control

Factova CIM+

PC-based control solution that integrates and controls manufacturing equipment

WHY

Why Is It Needed?

The various equipment used on the shop floor is sourced from different equipment vendors. This requires negotiating operating specifications with multiple vendors, and differing control specifications for each piece of equipment make operations burdensome. Quality also varies by vendor, and when problems occur, diagnosing the cause is not easy.

Factova CIM+ is PC-based control software that replaces PLCs. It integrates control of diverse logistics equipment on standardized PCs, enabling fast deployment, easy maintenance, and reliable data collection.

WHERE

Where Is It Used?

Target industries: display, semiconductor, etc.

Production sites where various equipment units such as Loaders and Robots operate in coordination

Target Customers

Companies struggling with separate contracts and operating specification negotiations with multiple equipment vendors Companies that want to shorten new FAB setup time with a standardized control solution
