KIC to Discuss Closing the Loop at SMT Hybrid Packaging 2018
May 22, 2018 | KICEstimated reading time: 1 minute
KIC announced today that they will co-exhibit in the SmartRep booth, Hall 4A, Stand 230, at the upcoming SMT Hybrid Packaging show, scheduled to take place June 5-7 at the Messe in Nuremberg, Germany. KIC will discuss 'Closing the Loop' with the KIC Eco-system (systems that work together to help run your production more effectively from NPI through manufacturing and traceability data).
The KIC Eco-system includes reflow software to identify optimal oven setup for new products prior to running manual profiling; automatic profiling for continuous in-spec reflow; automatic process control to eliminate manual tasks and mistakes; data analytics for more effective production; central database data management; and connectivity with MES and inspection machines.
KIC makes it easy to get started with The KIC Smart Factory Kit which includes an SPS Smart Profiler, RPI Automatic Profiling System, and Vantage factory level connected database and data management system.
Move toward the future of line connectivity, flexible production, data analytics, process transparency, machine learning, and real-time insight. Stop by Hall 4A, Stand 230 at the SMT Nuremberg show to speak to a KIC representative.
About KIC
Based in San Diego, KIC is the industry leader in automated thermal process tools and systems for reflow, wave, curing and semiconductor thermal processes. The company pioneered the development of oven profilers and process optimization tools, and then worked to create the next generation of thermal systems to help manufacturers improve the thermal process quality while reducing cost.
KIC products include the KIC SPS, K2, X5, KICstart2, ProBot, 24/7 Wave and the KIC RPI. With the introduction of cutting edge tools, the company continues to stay on the leading edge of process optimization and automatic thermal process systems, and has won numerous industry awards.
