ABSTRACT:
A system which provides a graphical user interface for monitoring operational status of the tools in the factory is provided. In a factory where many manufacturing tools having individual status reporting formats are operated, the system collects reports from the tools in different formats, translates these into one of ten newly defined statuses, then displays the statuses in a single display monitor so that a supervisor of the manufacturing tools can comprehend these statuses immediately and can take necessary actions appropriately.
