This is a great time to take a look back over the milestones and accomplishments of the Cimetrix team during 2019 and review some of the highlights! We are really proud of our team and we love to celebrate their hard work and accomplishments throughout the year. ### Tradeshows and Events Our team attended, presented and exhibited at more than 27 events this year. These events covered the U.S., Europe, China, Taiwan, Japan, Korea, Southeast Asia and more. We were able to participate in some new shows and events this year including exhibiting at SEMICON Southeast Asia (Kuala-Lampur), co-exhibiting at iTap in Singapore, and hosting two of our own seminars in Thailand. We also exhibited in our own booth for the first time at SEMICON Japan. SEMICON Southeast Asia was particularly interesting. By working closely with SEMI, Cimetrix had a new booth in the SEMI Smart Manufacturing Pavilion and an impressive demonstration in the SEMI Smart Manufacturing Journey including a demonstration of our smart factory platform Cimetrix Sapience®.
