With the rapid development of new technologies such as artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things, the electronic manufacturing industry is entering an important period of transformation. Faced with multiple challenges such as accelerated product iteration, increasingly complex manufacturing processes, shortage of skilled personnel, and global supply chain bottlenecks, electronic manufacturing enterprises urgently need to seek new paths to improve production efficiency, ensure product quality, and optimize cost structure.

Faced with numerous challenges, manufacturing enterprises not only need to enhance their competitiveness, but also need to improve production efficiency while ensuring product quality, balancing cost control and product customization needs. The smart factory concept launched by ASMPT, a leading global electronic manufacturing solution provider, is an effective solution to address these challenges through digital transformation.

Smart Factory: The Next Generation of Digital Transformation

ASMPT Smart Factory is committed to achieving integrated operation through systematic data collection and processing across the entire factory. By providing targeted relevant data, we aim to maximize yield, optimize personnel deployment, ensure product quality, and achieve smooth internal logistics. By leveraging intelligent data, visualization, and artificial intelligence technologies, we can enhance productivity and adaptability to better adapt to future development.

The smart factory incorporates the "data lake" into the overall consideration, achieving comprehensive analysis and optimization of processes at all levels from machines, production lines to enterprises, fully tapping into the highly networked and automated SMT production potential. With ASMPT's rich experience and unique process technology, the open automation concept of smart factory enables customers to freely choose automation standards, obtain the best return on investment, and elevate production to a new level of digital transformation.

Breaking boundaries and unleashing potential

ASMPT takes market leading hardware solutions as its core, combined with innovative software solutions, to achieve perfect integration from independent solutions to smart factories. Mainly includes:

     ▪  Fully networked hardware solutions including high-precision DEK printing platform, high-speed Process Lens SPI system, flexible SIPLACE surface mount machine,         and fully automatic material storage system

      ▪ WORKS software, as the foundation of smart factories, optimizes processes through intelligent functions and supports seamless information exchange for all                      workshop management suites

      ▪ The SPI system's self-learning function combining Process Lens and WORKS Process Expert, as well as the AI based Virtual Assist digital assistant, achieve                      intelligent workshop management

In addition, smart factories comprehensively utilize data in a targeted manner to improve customers' production efficiency and profitability, and help customers effectively deploy labor and optimize material processes. Truly achieving a global perspective, data-driven, and interconnected.

Efficient deployment of labor force

In terms of personnel management, the smart factory adopts a software supported expert library to replace traditional personnel planning, and makes precise adjustments based on employees' personal qualifications.

The intelligent software system supports real-time monitoring of KPIs by production managers, quality control by process engineers, optimization of delivery by logistics personnel, and provides maintenance support for technical teams. Digital assistants based on AI and NLP can also provide real-time troubleshooting guidance and on-the-job training.

Intelligent planning, efficient production

In terms of production planning, the smart factory has built a highly integrated optimization system, ensuring on-time delivery through intelligent scheduling, and maintaining high efficiency even in the face of small batch and multi variety demands.

Comprehensively optimize material flow

By standardizing interfaces and integrating software to optimize machine utilization, simplify material storage and transportation, improve personnel allocation efficiency, and achieve intelligent inventory adjustment, the dual goals of production line supply guarantee and overall factory integration are ultimately achieved.
