Case1. Production progress monitor

Overview

SMT line managers can easily see the production status versus the schedule and also when the next change will occur to properly plan resources.
Line operators see the same status to help imrpove their efficiency and perpare for changeover.

Benefits

• Eliminates production delays by providing more clear information
• Better coodinate because all staff have the same data

Case2. 30% improvement in line utilization

Overview

Color coded display shows “at a glance” status and makes it easier to respond to issues quickly.
Tasks can be prioritized based on the status display

Benefits

• Improved line utilization

Case3. Interface between JaNets and automatic storage towers

Overview

Integration of JaNets (mounter) and automatic storage towers, ISM-series, reduces operator workload.

• Automatic delivery of full kits
• Automatic delivery or parts that are running low during productiton
• Automatic update of remaining quantity

Benefits

• Automatic part kit creation based on production programs
• Reduction in labor to count inventory
• Reduction in labor to maintain inventory

Case4. Expense reduced by 90% through the use of JaNets and MES-related systems

Overview

While utilizing the prevention of incorrect mounting already in operation, interlock is applied to the mounter until the OK-information from MES comes in cooperation with JaNet and the customer MES-system to prevent incorrect fabrication.

Production can start depending on operator awareness

Production cannot be started until the MES-based verification is successful. after MES Janets

Benefits

• Reduced costs for introducing new systems
• Maintenance of manufacturing quality through interlock

Case5. Total Line Management by JaNets

Overview

Quality can be improved by managing the printer, SPI, and mounter all through JaNets.

Soldering defects caused by misalignment of the paste to the pads
Each machine has to read bad marks separately

The SPI results drive placement adjustments on the mounters to align with the solder paste
Defect free soldering utilizing natural self-alignment

Cycle time is reduced because bad mark reeading on everey mounter is replaced by automatic data transfer.

Benefits

• Improved, maintainable quality
• Faster cycle time

Case6. Addition of RS-1R

Overview

The self-optimizing head height of the RS-1R achieves optimial production speed while providing the flexibility to handle a wide range of components.

Fixed head height machines makes it difficult to design a line that can handle a wide range of parts and maintain good balance/optimization across a variety of PCBs.

Line balance is difficult because there are far more chip components. The flexible mounter is slower at placing chip components.

The flexibile head height of the RS-1R allows better line balance and optimization, resulting in faster cycle time per PCB
 

 
Flexible RS-1R in the middle of the line acts as line balancer
 
 

Benefits

• Improved line utilization with better balance
• Improved cycle time

Case7. Addition of RS-1R

Overview

Setup time can be reduced and line utilization increased by using several identical models.

Changeover time is long and utilization is low

Eliminate or shorten changeover time by using common feeder setups across jobs

Benefits

• Minimize downtime and improve line availability

Case8. Addition of RX-7R

Overview

Improved placement speed per square foot by using the RX-7R inline with RS-1R.

Benefits

• Faster placement speed in less floor space
