Juki recently premiered its Intelligent Shopfloor (IS) solution, a complete production support system composed of five specialised pieces of software: Intelli PE for creating production programs, Intelli PD for downloading production programs to multiple lines, Intelli PM for improvement of the operating rate of the entire floor, Intelli SCS (setup control system) for parts verification and traceability, and Intelli EM for management of feeder maintenance history.
With IS, users can comprehensively control and optimise various tasks and information of the entire floor, or the manufacturing field, that are related to production using Juki mounters. As a result, the cost of the entire floor can be reduced by improving productivity and product quality, and by streamlining work.
The system uses barcodes and 2D barcodes for quality control such as prevention of faulty mounting of components and traceability for streamlining of setup time. For authentication of tape feeders and tray supply devices, users can select from barcode RFID. The easy-to-use software allows users to monitor line operation status and production control information in the plant realtime from a remote location.
Advanced features include standardised graphical operation screens across applications, and the ability to switch interface language from any screens.
