IMS Installs Assure X-ray Component Counter from DAGE
January 6, 2021 | IMSEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Intelligent Manufacturing Solutions, LLC (IMS), a leader in PCBA rapid prototype and on-demand electronics manufacturing, recently installed the Assure™ X-ray Component Counter from DAGE, part of Nordson ELECTRONICS SOLUTIONS, at their Manchester, NH location. More than a printed circuit-board assembly (PCBA) or electronics manufacturing services (EMS) provider, IMS is a partner committed to working smarter and faster — in a way that puts customers first. The company focuses on high-mix, low-volume production and specializes in rapidly sourcing, assembling and testing short runs quickly, efficiently, and cost-effectively.
The IMS business model is all about speed because, for its customers, time to market (TTM) is critical. The IMS Rapid Prototyping service model enables R&D engineers to improve their design cycles and get product to market much faster.
Kevin Morrisette, IMS CFO, said, “Over the past 15 years, IMS has proactively invested in capital equipment to ensure we are always on the cutting-edge of PCBA manufacturing technology. It is in IMS’s DNA to be the absolute leader in technology offerings for our blue-chip list of clients. The most innovative companies require their EMS provider and development partners to have the highest level of technology capabilities. The DAGE Assure X-ray Counter checks every box. “
Todd O’Neil, Business Development Manager, DAGE | X-ray component counting, stated: “Having another machine locally near my office in New Hampshire is convenient. But what matters most is having another satisfied customer taking full advantage of the simplicity of our Assure component counters. IMS is a perfect example of how this machine can fit into any style of manufacturing. As Mr. Morrisette mentioned, they believe in ‘working smarter and faster, in a way that puts their customers first’. We feel the exact same way at DAGE, which is why we also focus on making our machines smart and fast and putting customers first.”
Inventory knowledge is essential for modern industry. Whether a surface-mount technology (SMT) manufacturer, supplier, or broker, live assurance of correct inventory in the MRP system at all times minimizes stock, labor, errors, and costs, ensuring customer confidence and trust. Keep your SMT lines running.
Assure™ is the fastest, simplest, and most reliable way to implement live component inventory management into your organization. Intelligent, simple, fast, and trustworthy, Assure™ enables you to increase productivity and minimize component shortage downtime.

I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
12/05/2025 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007It’s been another big week in global business news with positive projections on global economic growth, primarily driven by AI. U.S. labor markets are showing some strain after copious layoff activity, and there’s possibly a slight “correction” in the stock market, with investors apparently concerned about corporate overvaluation.
