KIC introduced its new Smart Factory Starter Kit at the 2017 IPC APEX Expo, that took place on Feb. 14–16, 2017 at the San Diego Convention Center in California.
As it relates to the reflow oven, the retrofit-able Starter Kit has virtually all of the elements of the Smart Factory concept, including:
  • Machine optimization
  • Process transparency
  • Extreme automation
  • Flexible production (eliminate changeover time)
  • Machine learning
  • Real-time information and insight
  • Reduced electricity use
  • Connectivity
  • Retrofit-able
There is a lot of talk in the industry about a future with Smart Factories (IoT, Industry 4.0, IOM, etc.) that promises a leap forward in terms of productivity. The interesting aspect of this industry trend is the potential for such technology to deliver consistent quality, significant lower production cost, and customer value.
For electronic manufacturers planning their future, this futuristic promise is tempered with a lot of risk, uncertainties, and the sheer scope of the investment and the undertaking. What if I go down the wrong road? What if I fail? What if I bet on the wrong standard, etc.?
So for a limited investment, a limited scope (in terms of engineering time), and a limited timeframe (one week), you will have the potential to immediately reap the significant benefits of consistent quality, reduced production cost (eliminate rework, scrap, downtime, excessive electricity use, etc.), and satisfied customers (traceability, world-class process control, automatic documentation sharing).
However, the Starter Kit for reflow will likely yield an even greater benefit: namely, the opportunity to move up the Smart Factory learning curve on a low risk – limited scope initial project. You will learn what works best and what does not, what the pitfalls are and how to avoid them. Once the Smart oven technology roadmap has been achieved, you will be well positioned to take on the much larger scope project of turning your operation into a Smart Factory with all the benefits that entails.
The company’s Smart Factory Starter Kit contains:
  • 1 ea. The all-new KIC SPS 7 channel reflow profiler
  • 1 ea. KIC RPI (Reflow Process Inspection)
  • 1 ea. The all-new KIC Vantage network insight software with sequel server database (On-site visit by a KIC certified technician is included)
