Agileo Automation Launches E84 PIO Box at SEMICON Europa
November 12, 2024 | Agileo AutomationEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Agileo Automation, a leading provider of control and connectivity solutions for global semiconductor equipment manufacturers, today launches the E84 PIO Box at Booth #C2848. This handheld device offers a new lightweight interface for fab staff to test semiconductor equipment software for compliance with SEMI’s E84 and GEM300 standards suite for automatic carrier delivery. It improves the readability, identification, and validation of E84 signal exchanges and functional aspects in cleanrooms or workshops. Integrated with Agileo Automation’s Speech Scenario software that emulates the fab host and validates the SECS/GEM interface with predefined test scenarios, the E84 PIO Box can easily emulate automated carrier delivery systems such as overhead hoist transport or automated guided vehicles. It is able to detect non-compliance and other functional issues thanks to its close alignment with SEMI’s E84 standard. The device features a DB25 connector for easy integration with E84 passive systems such as a load port and connects directly to a PC via a single USB cable for both data and power supply.
“In highly automated fabs, even minor carrier delivery issues can lead to costly downtime. Our E84 PIO Box is designed to rigorously validate nominal and error cases, ensuring seamless operations and fast recovery, benefiting both equipment manufacturers and facilities alike,” explains Marc Engel, CEO of Agileo Automation. “Early adopters have seen significant improvements in overall equipment software quality and now approach each software update with greater confidence, backed by consistent testing results.”
