| - MEMS Exchange
- Software
The MEMS Exchange has developed a software system that is
specially suited for MEMS and Nano technology job shops. The
software system has many of the same features as the software that
runs the entire MEMS Exchange operation and is well suited for
managing a project or an entire facility's operations depending on
the exact needs of the customer.
The system incorporates over 30 man-years of development effort
and runs in a Linux environment. Our software system uses a
network-based approach and therefore affords easier access,
provides excellent scalability, eliminates problems with
compatibility, but affords high-level security protections.
