Reading time ( words)

Scienscope International, an American supplier of cabinet-style micro-focus X-ray systems, has announced that EMI, one of the largest OEM manufacturers in Southern California, has purchased three Scienscope AXC-800 component counters.

The company is currently in the process of purchasing another Scienscope counter, an AXC-800 III, to strengthen their relationships with key customers. This system provides real-time, transparent inventory communication, while guaranteeing lead time and accurate inventory, and making component tracing automatic.

Scienscope is debuting the next-generation desktop component counter at productronica, November 12-16, 2019 in Munich, Germany. The next-generation machine features internal barcode scanning and MES integration.

According to Scienscope President and Chief Designer Eddy Lin, the latest component counter should be easier to use than a microwave and just as fast.

Companies have been collecting data in large volumes. Highly varied data from manufacturing operations comes in quickly that needs to be validated, and its value prioritized so that it can be turned into something useful—transformed from big data to smart data. The amount of data available has grown exponentially into big data. Twenty years ago, a PCB work order resulted in 100 data records, megabytes of data; today, it is 10 billion records, terabytes of data. The investment in collecting this data and storing it is high. However, without a way to analyze the data, without analytics, it will not result in ROI.
