In the modern SMT manufacturing industry, achieving optimal operational efficiency has become a key indicator of a company's competitiveness and profitability. ASMPT's Factory Equipment Center has created a unique solution for asset and maintenance management in smart factories, which can automatically and efficiently optimize the management, maintenance, and upkeep of thousands of mobile assets (including sticker heads, feeders, and nozzles), redefining interconnected assets and maintenance management.

Every component in a modern electronic factory requires seamless collaboration, and even an abnormality in a feeder can lead to the entire SMT production line being paralyzed. Accurately matching the uninterrupted operation of a large number of mobile assets with daily production needs is not an easy task. A set of software that can operate continuously 24 hours a day and respond quickly is needed to support issues such as the position of the feeder, the usage status of the suction nozzle, and the maintenance status of the sticker head. However, in the face of thousands of mobile assets in the workshop that frequently change locations, tracking this information seems inadequate. ASMPT's factory equipment center efficiently solves this problem.

Connect and provide a clear perspective

The factory equipment center has innovated asset management and achieved comprehensive networking of all in use assets. This software can not only track assets, but also comprehensively utilize data to maximize connectivity based on the ASMPT smart factory concept.  
After software deployment, it will automatically scan all SMT production lines, conduct digital inventory of machines, sticker heads, feeders, and nozzles, and assign unique IDs to each asset. Currently, this fully automated detection capability is unique in the market. Given that each factory uses an average of 10000 to 15000 feeders, this achieves a dual savings in time and cost. Jim Leather, Director of IoT Solutions at ASMPT SMT Solutions, pointed out that "only third-party systems still require manual data input
The factory equipment center will automatically collect and update asset data, analyze it, and present it in intuitive tables and graphics on a real-time dashboard, displaying the location, status, configuration, and maintenance history of each asset. Through precise recording, the system is able to create detailed performance and maintenance reports for internal analysis and external auditing. In addition, through comprehensive tracking, proactive maintenance can be carried out based on actual usage and wear and tear, rather than the traditional regular maintenance mode.

Dynamic maintenance, flexible and efficient

Through dynamic order tracking, the software can flexibly adjust maintenance plans to ensure consistency with the actual usage of assets. Once the maintenance work is completed, the system automatically marks and plans the next inspection date accordingly. Central maintenance of the calendar can simplify the process of event coordination, effectively avoid scheduling conflicts, and ensure that all stakeholders are informed of upcoming maintenance work plans in a timely manner.  
At the same time, the automatic monitoring and reporting mechanism achieves maximum transparency, which can quickly lock in faulty assets, thereby significantly reducing downtime and improving the reliability of production operations.

Comprehensive integration of digital workflow and modern software

The modern digital process provides maintenance personnel with intuitive real-time dashboards, multimedia displays, and checklists, clearly displaying organized workflows and effectively reducing operational error rates. With the help of a networked user interface, all software functions can be easily controlled through any device that can run a browser.

The factory equipment center adopts a flexible ordering and licensing model to ensure that operating costs are both scalable and easy to predict. In addition, the software platform integrates all the functions of remote smart factories, ensuring centralized and efficient management of settings and updates.

With the help of the factory equipment center, ASMPT provides advanced solutions for optimizing asset management and maintenance in SMT production. This software integrates real-time tracking, automated maintenance planning, and comprehensive reporting tools to significantly improve operational efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance competitiveness in electronic factories. This software can seamlessly integrate into the existing production system, laying a solid digital foundation for modern maintenance management.
