April 24, 2018 | Libra IndustriesEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Libra Industries, a privately held electronics manufacturing services (EMS) provider, is pleased to announce that it has expanded its factory-wide Cogiscan Track, Trace & Control (TTC) Software to cover its AOI operation on multiple lines. A long-time Cogiscan customer, this system expansion demonstrates Libra Industries’ commitment to customer service.
Libra Industries now has complete traceability of its AOI operations with connectivity to its MIRTEC and Omron AOI systems. For AOI operations, the software will report defects and prevent failed products from moving downstream. This means traceability of rework and repair operations, as well as enhanced quality assurance and richer traceability history for Libra Industries’ customers.
