SECS/GEM Software & Factory Automation Solutions for Smart Manufacturing
Insphere builds SECS/GEM software and factory automation solutions across the full standard, from GEM through the GEM300 suite for 300mm tools, so OEMs can ship compliant equipment, fabs can connect tools to MES, and older machines can join the network. The result is a single, standardized path to smart manufacturing, without months of custom development required.
Why SECS/GEM Matters for Semiconductor & Electronics Manufacturers
In a modern fab, dozens of tools from different vendors must work together, and SECS/GEM is what makes that interoperability possible. Many customers require GEM or GEM300 compliance before they will accept a tool, so for equipment makers, SECS/GEM is often the difference between winning and losing a sale.
For factories, reliable host communication is the foundation of MES data collection, traceability, and the real-time visibility that Industry 4.0 depends on. As manufacturers push toward fully connected smart factories, standardized semiconductor SECS/GEM software is no longer optional. It has become the baseline.
Supporting Industry 4.0 & Smart Factory Connectivity
Smart factories run on data, and that data has to move in real time. Insphere’s cloud-native automation streams equipment status, alarms, and events to the systems that need them, giving managers centralized visibility across the floor.
With consistent, accurate data feeding analytics platforms, manufacturers can shift from reactive fixes to predictive maintenance. And because the architecture is built to scale, factories can grow from a pilot line to full production without re-engineering their automation infrastructure.
Our Core Factory Automation Solutions
NxSphere GEM and GEM300 SDKs, with a visual Model Builder, host simulator, and auto-generated GEM manual, so equipment builders ship compliant tools faster.
NxSphere EAP+, a cloud-native platform connecting MES, SPC, and RMS to SECS/GEM and OPC UA equipment through a REST API.
Legacy equipment modernization
NxSphere DEX and GEMBridge, which bring non-networked and PLC-driven machines online without touching their controllers.
Together, these solutions connect the whole floor, from the newest GEM300 tool to a decades-old machine, on one standardized path to the factory host.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is SECS/GEM software?
SECS/GEM software implements the SEMI communication standards that connect semiconductor equipment to a factory host, handling status, alarms, events, data collection, and remote commands.
What is the difference between SECS/GEM and GEM300?
SECS/GEM is the base standard for equipment-to-host communication, while GEM300 adds the extra SEMI standards (such as E87, E90, and E94) required to automate 300mm wafer tools.
Why do semiconductor manufacturers need SECS/GEM compliance?
Semiconductor manufacturers need SECS/GEM compliance because fabs require it for tool acceptance, and SECS/GEM is what enables data collection, traceability, and automated production control.
Can legacy equipment support SECS/GEM integration?
Yes. Legacy equipment supports SECS/GEM integration through solutions like NxSphere DEX and GEMBridge, which connect older or PLC-driven machines without changing their controllers.
What industries use factory automation software?
Semiconductor, photovoltaic and solar, optoelectronics, and electronics manufacturers all use factory automation software to connect equipment and run smart factory operations.
How does SECS/GEM improve smart factory automation?
SECS/GEM improves smart factory automation by giving every tool a common language, so equipment and hosts exchange data reliably and automation workflows stay consistent across vendors.
Can SECS/GEM software integrate with MES systems?
Yes. SECS/GEM software like NxSphere EAP+ connects equipment directly to MES, SPC, and RMS platforms for data collection, monitoring, and control.
What is factory integration software?
Factory integration software connects manufacturing equipment to factory systems such as MES and SPC, standardizing communication so tools and data platforms can work together without custom code.
How do OEMs implement GEM300 compliance?
OEMs implement GEM300 compliance using a SECS/GEM and GEM300 SDK like NxSphere GEM300, which provides the SEMI object models, a host simulator, and ready-made workflows.
What are the benefits of modernizing older manufacturing equipment?
Modernizing older manufacturing equipment extends machine lifespan, avoids costly replacement, and brings legacy tools online for the data collection and visibility a smart factory requires.
