ErgoSIS is ready-to-run as a SECS monitor that can be added to a fab network as a transparent pass-through without any network reconfiguration. It can also provide SECSI-HSMS conversion and be extended with the ErgoSIS TransSECS™ Toolkit to create advanced customized applications for advanced process and equipment control, E-Diagnostics, fault detection, recipe management, and message logging and snooping, among other possibilities. It is delivered installed on a small multi-port Ethernet Linux-based embedded hardware platform.

The system provides Web-based SECS message monitoring and logging for off-line analysis. With the extensions provided by the ErgoSIS TransSECS™ Toolkit, ErgoSIS provides links to Oracle, SQLServer, MySQL and a large number of other databases. It also provides direct links to standard factory automation products through Windows™ OPC servers as well as the ability to collect and modify data in real-time controllers such as PLCs or other high-speed add-ons.
