Borey Advanced - ASMPT and Siemens join hands to create intelligent automation solutions
2025-06-27

Siemens Intelligent Infrastructure Group (SI) is headquartered in Zug, Switzerland and is a leader in the intelligent and adaptive infrastructure market. As a one-stop solution provider, the company is committed to addressing the dual challenges of urbanization and climate change through interconnectivity between energy systems, buildings, and industrial sectors.
Technical challenges faced by Siemens
1. Automatic program change - cross brand equipment with no errors
The Zug factory has deployed advanced ASMPT equipment, including SIPLACE SX mounting system, DEK NeoHorizon and DEK TQ solder paste printing machines, as well as Process Lens SPI detection system, in conjunction with WORKS Optimization application to achieve precise control of the printing process.
In addition, the factory has deployed the WORKS software suite to optimize the loading and material processes. Among them, Automatic Program Change (APC) is an important innovation that replaces the traditional method of manually loading programs one by one. It not only saves time but also avoids human errors, achieving intelligent program management of the entire SMT production line and seamless collaboration across brand devices.
2. Hermes standard driver seamless network integration
The whole production line builds a horizontal interconnection network based on IPC-HERMES-9852 standard to achieve seamless collaboration.
When the first circuit board of a new batch enters the starting end of the production line, its QR code will trigger a product switching instruction. The product information is then transmitted along the entire production line through the Hermes protocol, driving each device to automatically obtain the corresponding program from the cloud. The open modular architecture of ASMPT solution enables seamless integration between ASMPT equipment and third-party systems, supporting users to implement automation upgrades in stages according to their needs.
3. Real time data analysis improves operational efficiency
Automation and network technology have not only revolutionized APC functionality, but also opened up new opportunities for the data-driven field. Through data analysis and performance monitoring, all status information and operational indicators (KPIs) of the production line have been comprehensively collected. Machine operating status, process waiting time, fault event response time, production timestamps, and AOI quality inspection data can be synchronized in real-time to the cloud. Visual dashboards can accurately locate bottleneck links, identify inefficient processes, and fully unleash potential improvement value.

Significant results
With the help of ASMPT solutions, the production and operational efficiency of Siemens Zug factory has been significantly improved:
✓ Program switching time reduced by 35%
✓ Significant reduction in cost of non-conforming products
✓ More efficient and precise personnel deployment
✓ Higher level of automation
✓ Stronger production flexibility
✓ Higher hardware utilization
For us, the automatic program change function of ASMPT production line is a major highlight. Now we can complete product switching in sequence, completely bidding farewell to the tedious process of clearing traditional production lines. Through the Hermes communication protocol, each device can automatically load new programs. This feature not only helps us stay at the forefront of European technology, but also completely eliminates potential sources of error
