The hardware, software and Intelligent Factory concept presented by market and technology leader ASMPT drew strong interest from trade visitors at this year’s productronica India.
At the joint booth with long-standing distribution partner Maxim SMT, the spotlight was on the fast, precise, and process-stable DEK TQ solder paste printer platform and the SIPLACE TX high-speed placement solution. The SIPLACE CP20 and SIPLACE CPP placement heads on display also proved particularly well suited to the high-volume production that characterizes the Indian market, offering manufacturers maximum flexibility and productivity in demanding high-volume production.
Integrative concepts for high-volume production
Many visitors took the opportunity to gain a detailed understanding of a complete ASMPT production line in personal technical discussions. Of particular interest was the integrated concept of the intelligent factory, where standardized interfaces across all ASMPT machines continuously collect and process data, making it available where it can be used to enhance quality, prevent errors, and eliminate production bottlenecks.
Comprehensive software portfolio
ASMPT’s extensive software portfolio attracted strong interest from the expert audience. At the core is the WORKS Software Suite, which supports all line-related processes, complemented by the Factory Solutions for holistic optimization across the entire manufacturing environment – including critical areas such as material intralogistics. Live demonstrations featured WORKS Optimization, the intelligent inline expert system for end-to-end process improvement; the Factory Equipment Center, an integrated asset and maintenance management system; the Material Flow Optimizer, ensuring efficient intralogistics and smooth material supply; and SMT Analytics, providing in-depth analysis of the entire SMT production process across all lines.
“We were very pleased with the strong interest shown in our insights and the solutions we showcased for state-of-the-art electronics manufacturing,” summarized Neeraj Bhardwaj, General Manager for India at ASMPT SMT Solutions. “The lively response confirms that we are on the right track in this important growth market.”
