Innovative Circuits Arizona Installs Nordson's New Assure Pro Intelligent X-ray Component Counter
July 7, 2022 | Nordson Test & InspectionEstimated reading time: 1 minute

Nordson TEST & INSPECTION, a division of the Nordson Corporation, is pleased to announce that Innovative Circuits Arizona (ICA) has purchased an Assure™ Pro intelligent X-ray component counter. The company recently installed the system at its facility in Gilbert, Arizona.
For the past 30 years, ICA has enabled its customers to launch, build and realize their production needs adhering to its founding principles of creating value through innovation at the highest quality and lowest cost. The company uses only the latest technology in both the manufacturing and testing of complex designs.
“Inventory control is critical more than ever,” stated David Shano, owner and CEO of Innovative Circuits Arizona. “Shipping quality product on time to our customers is always our main objective and to accomplish that, you must have reliable equipment. We made the decision to incorporate the Assure PRO into our inventory control process and have never looked back”.
Inventory knowledge is essential for modern industry. 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. The Assure™ Pro simplifies the reel counting workflow by automatically reading the reel’s barcode ID with an integrated camera.
Assure is an intelligent, simple, fast, and trustworthy, automated component counter enabling an increase in productivity, minimizing component shortage and SMT line downtime, multiple set-ups and expensive additional component procurement and safety stock.
As the most established and vertically integrated contract manufacturer in Arizona, ICA focuses on its customer relationships, providing products and not problems. As a result of this approach, the company has become a trusted partner too many of our customers.
