100 percent error-free - Electronics manufacturers benefit from intralogistics solutions from Kardex Remstar

Although it only takes a few minutes or even seconds to populate a printed circuit board, the upstream and downstream processes in the manufacture of semiconductors devour many hours. If the wrong components are fitted by mistake, the time and costs involved can soon get out of hand. The key for electronics manufacturers is to run efficient processes on a highly frequent basis while avoiding errors and downtimes caused by delayed loading procedures. Furthermore, in order to be protected from possible claims for damages, complete traceability must be ensured.

Kardex Remstar supplies storage and retrieval solutions tailored to the area of electronics production. Wolfgang Zeller, an SMD handling expert at Kardex Remstar, explains: “Our systems are especially suitable for electronics manufacturers who have numerous production lines in operation at the same time and require a large quantity of different SMD reels.” Even if the entire process is highly complex, the aim of Kardex Remstar is to speed up and simplify the handling of SMD reels. “The simpler the solution, the fewer the mistakes,” says Zeller knowledgeably. Smooth interaction of the storage unit, such as the Megamat RS storage paternoster or Shuttle XP storage lift, plus software and intelligent process planning, are all success factors associated with the retrieval solution from Kardex Remstar. The storage units can be installed centrally in the production environment and occupy up to 85 percent less space.
