Setup Preparation & Product Changeover Software
Setup processes offer lots of opportunities for efficiency improvements, even in modern electronics plants. SIPLACE solutions help you to advance beyond standards family setups with changeover tables or the floating setup approach. Via the perfect interaction of hardware and software you can implement innovative and highly efficient setup processes that meet your requirements and give you a competitive advantage. Best of all, these process improvement pay for themselves quickly, because you profit with every setup changeover. Our experts help you to select and implement the best setup strategies for your production, calculate your ROI based on time and cost savings, and take you to reference customers who already use the respective concepts and solutions.
SIPLACE Setup Center is our key application for setup and product changeovers – and according to our customers one of the best things we have to offer in our software portfolio.
With SIPLACE Setup Center you safeguard your processes, avoid mistakes and accelerate your setup changeovers. It doesn`t matter which setup concepts you employ – online or offline changeovers, with changeover tables, feeders in preassigned positions or state-of-the-art random setup concepts.
Your employees simply scan the barcode ID of the component reel that is loaded in the feeder. The software reconciles the data with the placement program information and approves the combination or signals an error. For performance-optimized setups. The feeder position is scanned and checked as well. Features like these protect your setup process.
We maximize your setup flexibility and make your production more efficient
In high-mix production environments with many products and small lots, minimizing your setup times is a significant competitive advantage. The ultimate goal: setup changeovers without line stops.
Our tool for accomplishing this: SIPLACE Random Setup. We call it a tool, while others call it "feeder anywhere" or a small revolution. Why? For the first time, feeder positions are no longer preassigned. Instead you install your SIPLACE X-feeders in any available slots with a matching placement head, and the SIPLACE line adjusts the placement programs and processes automatically.
You enjoy a totally new level of flexibility:
- Non-stop setup changeovers and floating setups. You can prepare for upcoming product changeovers while the current product is still running – simply by setting up the feeders and components for the next product in any available slots.
- The SIPLACE X-feeders register with the placement machine automatically. Based on the feeder ID, the station software determines which component was loaded into the respective feeder during the kitting process and adapts its placement program accordingly.
- You can even set up multiple feeders with the same component, thus avoiding the time-consuming splicing.
- To prepare for an upcoming setup changeover, the SIPLACE software generates a "delta" (or differential) setup. You set up only what is still needed: Minimum effort, maximum efficiency.
