Nordson DAGE Introduces AssureTM, the New X-ray Component Counter
November 6, 2019 | Nordson DAGEEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Nordson DAGE, a division of the Nordson Corporation (Nasdaq: NDSN) is proud to announce the launch of AssureTM, the most intelligent, simplest, fastest and most reliable way to implement live component inventory management into your organization.
Inventory knowledge is essential for modern industry. Whether you are a SMT manufacturer, supplier or broker, live assurance of correct inventory in your MRP system at all times minimizes stock, labor, errors and costs ensuring customer confidence and trust to keep SMT lines running efficiently.
Developed by our team in Eckental, north of Nuremberg, Germany, Assure is intelligent, simple, fast, and trustworthy, enabling you to increase productivity, minimize component shortage and SMT line downtime, multiple set-ups and expensive additional component procurement and safety stock.
Intelligent: Counting components should not require hours of programming. Assure is a true plug-and-play solution which uses advanced algorithms to identify new components and does not rely on libraries or reliance on “cloud-only” support.
Simple: One button operation and an intuitive touchscreen interface means users can learn Assure within minutes. Installation is easy with an exceptionally small footprint and system weight.
Fast: Optimized for speed, Assure counts components fast regardless of how full or empty the reel is. Process inventory sooner and minimize labor time and cost.
Trust: Assure validates results immediately and automatically with accuracy exceeding 99.9% on most components, guaranteeing the quality of the count and simultaneously updating your ERP and inventory storage systems.
“Assure is an invaluable addition to Nordson’s X-ray product range” explains Mark Flain, X-ray Director at Nordson DAGE. “Assure guarantees our customers have precise knowledge of their inventory at all times, keeping their SMT lines running.”
See the latest Assure models featuring complete automated handling and meeting Industry 4.0 standards at the Nordson Test & Inspection stand (Hall A2, Stand 445), the ASYS stand (Hall A3, Stand 227), and the JUKI / ESSEGI stand (Hall A3, Stand 139).

Mastering PCB Floor Planning
08/28/2025 | Stephen V. Chavez, Siemens EDAPlacement of PCB components is far more than just fitting components onto a board. It’s a strategic and critical foundational step, often called “floor planning,” that profoundly impacts the board’s performance, reliability, manufacturability, and cost. Floor planning ties into the solvability perspective, with performance and manufacturability being the other two competing perspectives for addressing and achieving success in PCB design.

Elementary, Mr. Watson: Why Your PCB Looks Like a Studio Apartment
08/13/2025 | John Watson -- Column: Elementary, Mr. WatsonIn November 2022, I wrote a column called "Is Your Bathroom in the Kitchen?" This piece related a bizarre real estate listing that emerged out of St. Louis that had architects scratching their heads and interior designers cringing. Nestled in the historic Central West End sat a 200-square-foot apartment that completely defied logic. It wasn't the size that raised eyebrows, it was the layout. Here's the kicker: While that's rare in real estate, it's shockingly common in PCB design.
From Factory Floor to ‘The Component Store’
07/25/2025 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007Daniel Beauvois began his career in PCB manufacturing 15 years ago with zero industry experience—just a willingness to learn. Daniel immersed himself in every step of circuit board production, from hanging out on the factory floor to giving plant tours. Now, as founder of The Component Store, he’s an independent sales rep known for integrity, persistence, and deep technical knowledge. In this interview, Daniel reflects on his journey, the realities of being an outside rep, and what it takes to earn—and keep—a customer’s trust in an ever-evolving electronics industry.
