Operator assembling equipment used in the semiconductor assembly process for chip manufacturing

It's time to get Smart with your handheld tools

As manufacturing in the age of Industry 4.0 continues to revolve around digitalization, data collection, and automation, the use of smart tools and technologies is crucial to successful, error-free assembly.

Today, manufacturing is driven by the current industrial revolution taking place: Industry 4.0. But what exactly does ‘Industry 4.0’ mean, and how can you as a manufacturer get closer to implementing it in your plant for a smarter factory?

For many, step one of becoming the ideal smart factory involves the implementation of smart, connected assembly tools that utilize collected data to increase cycle time and efficiency, reduce errors on the line, and cut energy consumption, all to provide the best possible experience for your operators. This is the future of manufacturing; Is your operation ready for it?

Increased visibility into all processes

The ability to collect data, trace it, and analyze it is a critical element to manufacturing. Collected data offers the chance to trace and document production processes in order to make proactive, data-driven decisions in assembly.

Reduced defects, errors, and costs

Atlas Copco smart tools offer operator feedback, alerting an operator to tightening errors in real time. By reducing errors, scrap, and rework, costs are significantly lower.

Improved uptime for maximum efficiency

Smart tools are faster and more accurate than manual tools. The transition to smart tools consolidates hardware and facilitates lean manufacturing. Cycle times are quicker and uptime is increased.

Boosted ergonomics and safety

Because of inherent ergonomic improvements in smart tools, operators stay safer and more comfortable on the line, allowing them to work harder and longer without jeopardizing their health.
