SMT Perspectives & Prospects: What I Hope the Next Generation Will Carry Forward
Learning With Leo: Observations from IPC Builds in Paris
SolderStar SMARTLine communicates via IP networks providing data from the SMT line and provides tools for analysis of the captured data using web based methods via desktop or mobile platforms. These tools provide an immediate insight into the performance of the process, providing engineers with an invaluable insight into the manufacturing environment.
The system architecture uses a layered approach and is built upon existing and widely used protocols. As Industry 4.0 standards develop further it will be a simple step to integrate the data feeds into customer systems with built in support for a number of exchange formats such as XML, JSON and AMQP.
