“Other companies charge by the quantity of tags, and it was very expensive. That was the big advantage of Ignition, that you don’t have to pay by the quantity of tags. There is no limit on tags.”
“For the final inspection, in the past, everything was manual. We had to go to the machine and select the recipe, and we didn’t have a way to collect that information from the machine. We had to manually type the results, then go to a website and manually type the information. Now, with SECS/GEM, we have a barcode system so when a machine goes to process new material, you barcode the material and then do a barcode on the machine. Now we know for sure that we are running the correct recipe with the correct quantity. And then when the process is finished, we automatically get results in the reports. Everything is automated and easy.”
