Provides real-time data for line performance metrics

In today’s PCB manufacturing factories, machine downtime, inefficient operation, and time spent investigating issues can have a profound effect on a company’s performance. All of these issues and many others can be avoided by having the ability to quickly and accurately identify problem areas in production lines. Universal’s newest Linechart reporting tool is designed specifically to give graphical representations of PCB manufacturing key performance indicators. These graphs can be used to monitor all aspects of the surface mount pick and place process and identify where you should focus your resources to take corrective actions before they cost too much time and money. The six main key performance indicators are:

• Productivity
• Efficiency
• Components Per Hour
• Component Wastage
• Board Count
• Quality

Linechart also contains reporting capability, which can be exported into any of the Microsoft Office tools, and has built in statistical process control tools (i.e., standard deviation, mean, etc) that can be displayed as limits and parameters on each chart.

Linechart is unique in that it can monitor not only Universal’s Genesis, AdVantis, and AdVantisX platform products, but a wide range of other supplier’s pick and place equipment as well!
