Frequently asked questions

Can the Genmark GB4 be integrated into Genmark's GIFT automation platform?

The GIFT automation platform supports the Genmark GB4 as one of its wafer handling robot models. The platform is intended for development of equipment automation applications and supports integration of robots with other equipment modules.[1]

What host communication and software architecture does GIFT use with supported robots such as the Genmark GB4?

The GIFT Server exposes functions and objects through COM interfaces. The factory host communication is handled by the GEM Engine, which manages SECS transactions and GEM requirements such as data tracing and event reporting. The GIFT Server follows the SEMI E98 object based equipment model.[1]

Does GIFT provide robot-related user interface and maintenance functions for supported robots such as the Genmark GB4?

The GIFT user interface includes Robot Maintenance and Automatic Teaching views. The interface also includes job control, material tracking, alarm handling, and maintenance views for related modules.[1]
