5 Ways Adopting mobivue Manufacturing Operations Management Benefits PCB Manufacturing

With giant leaps in technology and in the quest for shorter product cycles, PCB manufacturing is undergoing rapid evolution. With competition among manufacturers increasing every day, it has become imperative for manufacturers to embrace the latest technology to optimize their processes, serve customers better, and produce high-quality products. At present, the new efficient management technology for enterprises is system integration and information integration. Many PCB manufacturers these days have implemented the use of ERPs to manage enterprise-level planning. While it’s a great step forward, there’s a limitation to ERPs: they can only process historical or predictive data. It is not real-time and does not deal with any current data. Moreover, the production equipment control system cannot transfer current data to the upper-level resource management system. This means that the ERP suffers from a lack of real-time information, which in turn makes optimization a challenge. What is needed is a bridge between the production equipment control system and the enterprise-level production management information system. That is where Bar Code India’s Manufacturing Execution System . BCI Mobivue Manufacturing Operations Management (or MOM) solution for SMT (surface mount technology) lines is specifically designed to offer complete traceability of SMT and PCB manufacturing processes and can be configured to meet your specific requirements. It is a comprehensive solution integrated with a wide stack of AIDC hardware and machines, and also comes equipped with Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES). So, how can Mobivue MOM help the PCB manufacturing industry? Read on…

Benefits of Mobius Manufacturing Operations Management

There are several benefits of adopting Mobivue MOM for PCB manufacturing. For this article, however, we will only look at 5 key benefits for the sake of brevity:

1. 100% Traceability

BCI’s mobivue MOM helps you achieve 100% component-level traceability in PCB manufacturing processes by integrating data from all machines, automating manufacturing rules, and maximizing their production efficiency. It enables a unique identification of incoming raw material based on pack/lot size, coupled with an automated process for quality inspection and validation, user mapping with biometrics for every production cycle, and a unique QR-code-based identity to each PCB using laser marking technology, which empowers you with end-to-end traceability and complete control of your complex processes.

2. Bridge between production and management

The solution can be integrated with your existing system seamlessly, without any disruption or downtime. Once integrated, Mobivue MOM helps in feeding real-time information to the ERP system, which allows it to better understand market demand and optimize production accordingly. It handles the interface with the upper-level ERP system, allowing key decision-makers to understand their productivity much better.

3. Improved Quality

Many of our clients have benefited from the superior quality they have achieved using Mobivue MOM. The solution incorporates the ‘poka-yoke’ system in WIP processes to ensure zero deviation from set quality parameters for highly sensitive components and processes, such as MSL (moisture sensitivity level) and solder paste mixing, to name a few. The solution is also integrated with ICT (in-circuit testing) and performance testing machines to test the quality and working performance of PCBs.

4. Easy fault-finding

PCB manufacturing is a complex process, which makes it extremely difficult to track errors during production. BCI’s mobivue MOM solves this crucial problem by monitoring your process round the clock and collecting data in real-time, so any aberration is quickly brought to your notice, and you can take remedial action to counter it. Once the solution is adopted, finding loopholes and faults is super easy, and you can quickly tweak your system to make sure there are no problem areas in your workflow. It also reduces downtime, allowing you to increase production.

5. Achieve Your Sustainability Goals

Sustainability has been one of the main goals and responsibilities of every industry for the past few decades. For any manufacturing industry, there’s a direct link between operational efficiency and pollution: the higher the efficiency, the eco-friendly you become. BCI’s mobivue MOM automates your complex processes, drastically improves your operational efficiency, and optimizes material consumption, which helps PCB manufacturers reduce waste and rework. This helps you reduce your carbon footprint by a huge amount.
