Tadin for Process and Equipment Optimization Back Start Feb. 2008 Last view All rights reserved to Tadin – Tal Advanced Instruments Ltd. sales@tadin.co.il, www.tadin.co.il 5 All tools have built-in Excursion Prevention. Why add external system? Tools are generic, process is not final, future problems are unknown. Fact: Specific untreated killers are detected late in production. Tool manufacturers are slow to change. The tool computers are overloaded with control tasks – Can not handle high rate real-time data analysis. Engineers need flexibility and control over EP. Many malfunctions are control dependent – redundancy is needs. There are some good reasons: EP requires expertise: Not tool manufacturers core business. Please wait... Next
