ESI Taking Laser-Based Tooling to New Levels
December 28, 2015 | Barry Matties, I-Connect007Estimated reading time: 9 minutes
Ryder: Yes, it is. It's about the ESI team, what our portfolio offers, and what our greater partnership can bring to our customers’ success.
Matties: Here in China one of the key factors that we see is automation. How are you addressing that?
Ryder: The tools are of course completely automated. Essentially you put panels in the loader, they are processed, and they come out of the unloader. We can offer various options here depending on customer need.
Matties: We were hearing a lot about Industry 4.0 here in China. How do your tools plug in to that?
Ryder: I think there's a lot more system interaction required from customers—a much higher degree of active quality management, a lot of tools, a lot of software, and a lot of different ways to process data on the market. You have to design a system that is flexible enough to meet the needs of individual customers without alienating from a root system. We've addressed this.
We have a very knowledgeable team who understands the needs of data import, data export, and ultimately this is something that we see a future in. ESI has a long history in this kind of data analysis and innovating systems into already existing product landscapes. It's a known progression, a key evolution, and our systems do not deviate from that.
Matties: It sounds like you're 4.0 compliant, so to speak.
Ryder: I would agree.
Matties: I think that besides automation that's obviously very important.
Ryder: It's very important. A customer wants to know that he can buy the tool and he can make good use of it without having to alter his entire production for the sake of our tool.
Matties: Do you already have any of these CO2 machines in the HDI marketplace?
Ryder: We don't have the tool in the marketplace yet, in fact the tool is officially being launched today. We have tools already doing demos for customers, so if anybody's interested in sending us samples or seeing the system firsthand we're definitely open for that.
