Integrated cell control framework/GUI

ToolStation is an integrated cell control framework that eliminates the majority of custom coding required for fab equipment automation. The system includes: a fab-wide GUI with point-and-click control of process tasks to almost any manufacturing execution system (MES) and to all processing equipment; a customization toolkit that reduces the time required to build custom cell controllers and GUI plug-in screens to specialized requirements; an MES application interface that automates MES functions such as track in, track out, and split/merge lots; and Virtual Host Interface, which connects the ToolStation to commercial and custom MES.
