Delta’s showcased industrial automation solutions tailored for the PCB industry included:
Delta’s DIAWorks Manufacturing Execution System (MES) is the core component of its smart manufacturing solutions and is specifically tailored for PCB factories. The MES system designed for PCB plants offers specialized features that cater to the unique demands of PCB manufacturing. It ensures precise tracking and management of production batches, maintains stringent quality control, and optimizes production schedules to maximize efficiency. This system helps PCB manufacturers improve production efficiency, reduce waste, and ensure product quality consistency.
In modern PCB production, networking and collaborative operation of various production equipment are crucial for enhancing production efficiency and reducing failure rates. Delta's IoT machine connectivity solution uses advanced sensing technology and wireless communication technology to achieve seamless connectivity between devices. These devices can exchange data with each other and automatically adjust according to production needs. With real-time monitoring and data analysis of equipment operation status, customers can achieve preventive maintenance, extend equipment lifespan, and reduce maintenance costs.
With the increasing global awareness of environmental protection and rising energy costs, energy management has become an important aspect of PCB production. Delta's Energy Management System can monitor energy consumption in various production stages in real-time and provide energy-saving solutions based on data analysis results. It also helps customers identify energy-wasting areas and suggests improvements to reduce overall energy consumption and carbon emissions.
Other showcased industrial automation solutions included:
An integrated virtual machine software iRTM and hardware RTM solution for planning and integrating equipment into various production lines and applications. The iRTM software simulates processing scenarios to evaluate production cycle time and measure investment efficiency. The RTM modularized equipment includes host, accessory, robot, protection modules for multiple applications and fast reset. RTM/iRTM performs fast calibration without pausing the production line, achieving a smart upgrade on the production line with a single click.
