International Classification:

G06F 19/00
G01N 37/00
G06F 17/30

US Classification:

700103, 702 81, 702 84, 7071041, 700121, 700105, 700109, 707E17044, 700108

Abstract:

Material management systems and methods include material storage vessels with information (e.g., electronic information) storage. Information may be communicated from a storage device to a process tool controller and employed to set or adjust a process tool operating parameter. Material information may be determined by remote analysis and subsequently communicated to an electronic information storage device of a vessel containing such material. Location and movement of material storage vessels within a customer facility may be automatically tracked, with further transfer of material-specific information. Product information may be associatively stored with material-specific information utilized in product manufacture.
