Sapphire Automation Framework [SAFW]
Sapphire Automation is an enterprise wide equipment automation solution which helps customers achieve their goal of complete factory automation within short period of time
SAFW has modular architecture . Each module works independently and with SAFW. Main modules are Data Collection and Equipment Automation/Control
Data Collection
Data Collection is an enterprise wide solution for collecting data real time from various tools. It supports various hardware and protocols collecting data providing traceability for easy debugging.
Equipment Automation
Sapphire Equipment Control accelerates equipment automation compliance to standards by working with individual tool vendor, to conform manufacturers needs.

Framework [SAFW]
Sapphire Automation
How it works
The SAFW’s provides an easy-to-use and highly customizable development environment to take the processing equipment from R&D to Production stage in an accelerated manner. SAFW enables the users with following steps:
- Equipment Hardware Definition
- Equipment Configuration Definition
- Convert Schematic into Equipment Maintenance Screen
- Deploy and Monitor
Key Features
Equipment Operation Definition
Typically, the Equipment operation is written on a paper. The SAFW enables users to mimic and abstract the operation in a flowcharts. This greatly accelerates development understanding of the equipment design and operations such as signals, inter-locking, parallel operation and data generated.
Convert Schematic into Equipment
Maintenance
The SAFW’s open and modular architecture then enables users to generate agents required to connect the GUI to the equipment as well other manufacturing applications.

Data Collection
Sapphire Automation
How it works
Data Collection provides automated data collection from equipment. Data collection feeds directly into database without affecting active production with no change to the tool software. This process does not affect operation of the tool.
Key Features
Lot – Wafer – Recipe – Parameters History
Complete history based on lot, wafer, recipes and parameters used for DOE, R&D, Pilot and Production. Flow of Lot from the start to the end point can be monitored from one screen only.
Traceability & visibility into every process step with Data Logger
Timely identification the root cause of equipment issues, that lead to equipment downtime and adversely impact business revenue.
Alerts and alarms
Early problem detection and notification
