IMS : The Unique Solution for SMT

Today’s SMT manufacturing industry has entered the era of low profit. Under the premise that the market price has been determined, how to create greater profit margins and make them more competitive in the industry has become a problem for every manager to think about. It became a magic weapon for the mouths of various managers, and IMS was born in this environment.

IMS (Intelligent Management System) is a unique closed-loop SMT manufacturing solution. IMS can be roughly divided into: warehouse management module, comprehensive error-proof material management module, production management module, equipment online module and other components. IMS can reduce staffing by more than 20%, improve the overall efficiency of SMT workshop by more than 12%, achieve comprehensive error prevention and achieve 4M comprehensive traceability; optimize process control and improve production efficiency, improve product quality and reduce manufacturing cost in SMT production industry etc. The concept of IMS products is centered on the four fundamental points of quality, cost, efficiency and delivery that our company pursues. Similarly, the development process of the entire product is also targeted around the problems arising from these four perspectives.

IMS introduced the concept of ReelID in comprehensive error-proof management, and the ReelID ID card gives material attributes and production attributes. This concept not only reduces the minimum unit of material management from Lot to Reel, but also controls the position, usage, and remaining quantity of each material in real time. With ReelID plus IMS system management, the FIFO can be managed when the material is in the warehouse. When the material is released, it can be directly assigned to the specific production line and the specific production equipment. By ReelID and FeederID, the association of the station ID, you can absolutely prevent the error use of the material. If there is an error, it will be reminded by the PDA. If the error is not resolved, the production will not start.

In terms of equipment efficiency improvement, IMS can connect with SMT equipment and control the production status of SMT equipment in real time, such as the rate of production, throwing rate, etc.; IMS can produce relevant documents (such as BOM, CAD, equipment program in the work order preparation stage). Automatic calibration of documents, etc., and automatic generation of the loading station table. IMS can implement the system management of the Feeder, develop the Feeder maintenance plan according to the actual usage times of the Feeder, and by the system control Prevent bad, unmaintained Feeder from being used on the device, thus preventing the traditional monthly maintenance mode from being implemented in place, the bad Feeder being reused, and the Feeder maintenance period suddenly increasing ; the IMS low alarm function will also Change the traditional inspection line by the production staff, the material inspection method, the low alarm function can preset the alarm warning line, promptly remind the production personnel to pick and receive materials when the material is short, and avoid the equipment alarm and stop work due to materials use out. When the alarm is completed, the condition of picking and receiving materials is reduced, the equipment downtime is reduced, and the equipment efficiency is finally achieved. Increase by more than 5%.

The above only introduces some of the product functions of IMS. IMS is an intelligent management system covering the entire SMT process segment. The future of SMT manufacturing must be developed in the direction of information and intelligent management. This is not doubtful. IMS will also Promote industrial upgrading of SMT manufacturing and enhance the core competitiveness of SMT manufacturing plants.
