Abstract:
A remote diagnostics system is presented comprising: a first internal network in a fabricator (FAB), the FAB having at least one automated manufacturing tool, a tool controller, and internal secure storage means; a second internal network in an original equipment manufacturer (OEM), the OEM having internal secure storage means; an external network; a first secure shared network coupling the first internal network to the external network; a second secure shared network coupling the second internal network to the external network; and a secure channel which propagates data from the tool at the FAB to the OEM for e-diagnostics; wherein the tool generates data proprietary to at least one of the FAB and the OEM.
