Borey Advanced ASMPT's newly launched Factory Material Manager system
2025-07-23
In the electronics manufacturing industry, accurate inventory data is crucial for optimizing material flow, and ASMPT's Factory Material Manager provides complete data transparency for this purpose. This application significantly improves production efficiency by optimizing the loading program to ensure timely delivery of components to the production line.
Rob Raine, Senior Product Manager of ASMPT Automation Solutions, pointed out that:
In modern SMT factories, the number of component packages in warehouses and workshops can be as large as 100000. The Factory Material Manager is able to identify and real-time grasp the specific location of each material.
Which tray is placed in which position? Are the materials required for the next round of production complete? Has the expiration date of the materials been fully considered when retrieving them?
The Factory Material Manager provides real-time and reliable data to accurately answer these questions, saving valuable time for operators and eliminating the need for time-consuming routine tasks such as manual input or inventory counting. These functions greatly improve production efficiency, especially in modern small batch, multi variety production, which requires handling a large number of production orders, a wide range of component types, and frequent changes in storage locations throughout the factory.
Real time updating of inventory data from receipt to production
When receiving materials, each package or pallet is accompanied by a label with a user ID (UID), which is closely associated with manufacturer information, including production batch number, delivery date, MSD (moisture sensitive component) or expiration date and other special attribute information.
When the position of the component package changes, its ID will be instantly scanned and updated in the system to ensure that the Factory Material Manager always runs based on the latest data. Based on these detailed and accurate information, the software can accurately plan the material retrieval route, generate optimized retrieval tables, effectively support the loading process, and achieve seamless tracking of materials throughout the entire production cycle.
In addition, Factory Material Manager can also communicate with automated warehousing systems, including third-party production, strictly following the first in first out (FIFO) principle to avoid losses caused by expired materials. Meanwhile, the continuously updated tracking system can prevent inventory shortages and production line shutdowns caused by material shortages. This permanent fully automated inventory monitoring system not only significantly enhances process stability and improves efficiency, but also further reduces costs by reducing the demand for emergency inventory. According to statistics from SMT manufacturers, material inventory can be reduced by 5% as a result.
Empowering Smart Factories: Creating Excellent Collaboration
Raine emphasized that the Factory Material Manager interprets the concept of a smart factory in a highly unified way. It extensively collects data from the workshop to the enterprise level, achieving efficient processing and intelligent application of data, significantly improving the efficiency of production processes
When Factory Material Manager collaborates with another application designed specifically for optimizing workshop material flow by ASMPT, it can comprehensively optimize and automate the entire production material flow.
The two applications launched by ASMPT work together to ensure on-demand supply of materials, effectively reducing transportation and loading costs, while promoting seamless collaboration between operators and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), and even supporting automatic line changing functions on production lines. With this powerful software combination, electronic manufacturers can maximize their return on investment (ROI) and gain significant competitive advantages.
