When today’s factories migrate to CAMX communications, they need a way to integrate the new non-CAMX enabled end legacy assembly equipment into the CAMX framework. PEACEMAKER Equipment Adapters do just that, taking input from legacy interfaces and translating it into CAMX messages.

PeaceMaker is fully compliant with the IPC-2501 Standard and provides a low cost solution to deliver mission critical data such as cycle times, machine downtime, supply chain and product genealogy & traceability information from the shop floor directly to the enterprise system, while providing a path to preserve the asset value of existing non-CAMX enabled equipment in newly implemented CAMX production lines.


Data exchange with an array of disparate legacy equipment with serial and native TCP/IP-enabled interfaces such as RFID Controllers, Bar Code Scanners, Sensors, PLCs, SMT Placement Machines, Automatic Optical Inspection, and Automated Assembly Stations etc can be seamlessly shared directly with the BRAVE Message Broker or Enterprise Server. The PEACEMAKERS XML Message configuration editor enables an EMS or OEM to take full advantage of CAMX as a universal data exchange, especially in applications where total traceability, monitoring and reporting are required i.e.

* Production Management
* Supply Chain Management
* Warehouse Management
* Control & Automation
* Quality Systems

Whether using IPC-25xx message Schemas or developing a proprietary XML message format PEACEMAKER allows you to rapidly create/manipulate XML messages without a detailed knowledge of XML. The GXML Editor and Driver make it possible for someone with little knowledge of TCP/IP and XML to set up an XML message exchange with a simple Server running on a PC or integrate equipment into a fully compliant CAMX IPC- 2500 Network. A higher level of integration invariably contributes to improving the ROI cycle.
