KIC will exhibit at the SMTA Ohio Expo & Tech Forum, scheduled to take place August 8, 2019 at the Holiday Inn Cleveland Strongsville. MB Allen, Manager for KIC’s Applications & Sales, will discuss the Reflow Process Inspection, RPI i4.0, automatic profiling system with integrated network software for real-time data sharing, dashboard and traceability.
KIC RPI i4.0 automatically acquires profile data from each PCB soldered in the reflow or curing oven, in real-time. It also offers real-time thermal process control data and traceability, reduces scrap and rework, fast defect troubleshooting, and live dashboards. Advanced data search and analytic features save the company valuable time.
With RPI i4.0, all relevant data can connect to the factory MES or your factory data collection system to be easily shared and can be viewed/accessed from any authorized PC or mobile device. The enhanced level of automation delivers improved line utilization and productivity.
