Local Equipment Intelligence

Add Local Intelligence to New or Existing Semiconductor Equipment

KodeGEM Intelligence runs alongside Tool Control Software with local operation and no required cloud service.

Query approved equipment knowledge through GEM, monitor configured SECS/GEM activity and alarms, and make reviewed insights available to authorized similar tools through customer-governed Mesh distribution.

  • New or Existing Software
  • Local Deployment
  • No Cloud Required
  • Customer-Controlled Data
  • Project-Specific Interfaces
Overview

What KodeGEM Intelligence Is

KodeGEM Intelligence is a local, software-only suite that adds knowledge access, live equipment context, and controlled knowledge sharing alongside new or existing Tool Control Software.

  • It does not replace the control application.
  • It does not require cloud access.
  • Mesh knowledge distribution does not change Tool Control Software or equipment behavior.
Architecture

Runs Alongside Existing Software

KodeGEM Intelligence is a separate local layer on the Tool PC, beside the equipment, or on dedicated local hardware. Compatible interfaces can preserve the existing control-software deployment; other environments may require an adapter or configuration.

GEM

Ask Questions About the Tool Through GEM

GEM provides natural-language access to approved local equipment knowledge and live context, including documentation, alarms, field fixes, service history, procedures, and SECS/GEM activity.

What does this alarm mean?
Which procedure applies to this condition?
Has this problem occurred before?
What changed before the event?
Which field fix resolved a similar issue?
What does the recent SECS/GEM activity indicate?

Answers are grounded in approved local equipment knowledge and can include citations or links to configured source material.

Live Monitor

Connect Live Equipment Activity with Technical Context

The Live SECS/GEM & Alarm Monitor observes configured communications, events, states, and alarms so GEM can connect current equipment behavior with stored knowledge.

Monitoring is configured for the equipment interfaces available in the customer environment. KodeGEM Intelligence does not claim to intercept or modify control traffic beyond the interfaces and observation methods implemented for a given deployment.

Distributed Knowledge Mesh

When One Tool Learns, Similar Tools Can Benefit

Once an issue is understood and the resulting knowledge is reviewed and approved, Distributed Knowledge Mesh can make that insight available to other authorized, similar tools running KodeGEM.

Deployment

Deployment Options

No cloud is required for core operation. Existing control software can remain unchanged when compatible interfaces are available; deployment requirements depend on the equipment architecture, security policies, and approved data sources.

On the Tool PC

Run KodeGEM on an existing Tool Control PC when the available resources and interfaces meet project requirements.

Computer Beside the Tool

Use a separate local computer beside the equipment when software separation or dedicated resources are preferred.

Dedicated Local Hardware

Use customer-approved dedicated hardware, including a Pi 5 where appropriate, when the project needs a compact local node.

Security

Deployment Boundaries and Data Control

On-Prem Operation

Run KodeGEM Intelligence on the Tool PC, beside the equipment, or on dedicated local hardware.

No Cloud Required

Core knowledge access, monitoring, and analysis do not depend on an external cloud service.

Customer-Controlled Data

The deployment can be configured so approved documentation and equipment context remain within the customer’s environment.

Compatible Existing Software

For compatible interfaces, KodeGEM Intelligence can run alongside existing Tool Control Software without changing its validated source code.

Flexible Deployment

Support new, existing, and legacy equipment using deployment hardware appropriate for the tool and factory environment.

Security controls are defined with the customer for each deployment. KodeGEM does not claim a formal security certification.

Use Cases

Where KodeGEM Intelligence Adds Value

Alarm investigation
Field-service knowledge access
Shift handoff support
Legacy equipment modernization
SECS/GEM troubleshooting
Maintenance and procedure retrieval
Equipment-family knowledge reuse
Project-specific Factory Host knowledge access through S10 Terminal
