Semiconductors are found nearly everywhere. To keep up with demand, you need the best error-proofing solutions by your side.
Downtime, especially related to rework, is a manufacturer’s worst nightmare. It can greatly affect your profitability and, if not corrected, could lead to faulty products and warranty claims. That’s why the experts at Atlas Copco engineer products that will stop errors in their tracks and collect data to optimize processes and ensure that you’re maintaining your production quality goals.
In the semiconductor industry, it is important to increase uptime and error-proofing measures. Atlas Copco offers our customers the best error-proofing solutions that improve productivity from day one. Read on to discover the tools and solutions we offer and the difference they can have on your assembly.
Operator guidance in the palm of your hands
In most industries, manufacturers are looking for accurate tools that enable operators to get assembly right the first time. This is to maintain high productivity rates and to keep errors at a minimum. With the right solutions at your side, it’s easier to achieve than you may think.
First, there’s Industrial Location Guidance (ILG). ILG is an integrated error-proofing system for high-level process security that uses vision technology to guide operators through the application. This ensures that the right bolts are tightened at the right time and in the right sequence. This is possible thanks to ILG’s vision technology which allows the solution to track the exact location of the tool relative to the fastening position.
Operator guidance with software
There are other ways to decrease downtime caused by rework other than using tooling solutions. Several software solutions will help you gain control of your assembly. For example, Scalable Quality Solution 3 (SQS) can provide quality, process consistency, and transparency to your plant. SQS is ready to error-proof your assembly with visual operator guidance, providing users with complete transparency of the entire application and significantly reducing scrap and rework.
Data collection made simple
Another software solution making an impact on assembly is ToolsNet 8. This data-collecting software helps users make process improvements by sending real-time notifications about your production processes. This information can be used to make quick changes to your production process, enabling you to see a reduction in rework, higher quality, and maximum uptime.
Take your line management to the next level
Lastly, there’s ToolsTalk 2. ToolsTalk 2 is a line management software solution that provides quick and easy configuration of your tools. Furthermore, ToolsTalk 2 provides users with complete visibility and traceability of the entire line structure. With ToolsTalk 2, you can achieve better quality control and boost uptime for critical production operations.
