Smart Automation: Preparing for an SMT Line Upgrade—Materials and Setup Verification
02/18/2026 | Josh Casper -- Column: Smart AutomationWhen exploring increased throughput of an SMT line, many manufacturers, of course, start with the line itself. This makes sense: Upgrading to a higher speed pick-and-place, adding feeder capacity, and optimizing handling should result in faster throughput. However, the smartest place for most mid-sized manufacturers to start is with materials and setup verification.
