KIC Moves to New Booth at SMTAI
September 26, 2018 | KICEstimated reading time: 1 minute
KIC today announced its new booth for SMTA International. The company will now be in booth #524 during the event, scheduled to take place October 16-17, 2018 at the Donald Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Illinois. Representatives will discuss the new RPI i4.0 automatic profiling system with network software for real-time dashboard, data sharing and traceability storage.
Recently, factories are looking for ways to gain insight and data to enable more effective operations. Major benefits include significantly improved factory profitability through higher production line utilization, elimination of scrap or rework, fewer human mistakes, and perhaps the most significant of all: Improving the factory competitiveness and attractiveness for increased revenues and customer base.
KIC RPI i4.0 automatically acquires profile data from each PCB soldered in the reflow or curing oven, in real-time. This new ecosystem offers real-time thermal process dashboard and traceability, reduced scrap and rework, fast defect troubleshooting, lower electricity use and more. Advanced data search and communication features save engineers valuable time.
With RPI i4.0, all relevant data can connect to the factory MES or your factory data collection system to be easily shared with personnel, and can be accessed from any authorized PC or mobile device. The enhanced level of automation delivers improved line utilization and productivity.
