A Walking Tour of Mycronic Equipment at productronica 2019

Reading time ( words)

I-Connect007 pays a visit to the Mycronic booth at productronica 2019 in Munich, and Jeff Leal, product manager for Mysmart, takes us on a walking tour of just one of the lines on display at the show. 

Jeff takes us through a series of dispensing and conformal coating machines, among them:

• MyT50L – a full-feature tabletop dispenser that is well suited to odd shape, NPI and R&D projects
• MyC50 – an industrial dispenser with five axes of operation. Jeff points out that the MyC50 is dispensing adhesive to ruggedize the circuit components on the board

Next, Jeff introduces us to a high-speed dispenser using Piezojet technology and a five-axis motion system. This piece of equipment, Jeff explains, was developed specifically for the mobile phone market, and dispenses a sealant around an odd form factor in a continuous movement.

Mycronic showcased a variety of other manufacturing solutions at productronica. Be sure to watch the other Mycronic video interviews from productronica at www.realtimewith.com.

Driving cost out of the supply chain goes beyond reduction of raw material cost. Though many of the manufacturers today concentrate on negotiation with their raw material supplier(s) the hidden cost of internal supply chain goes undetected. To address the cost of the entire supply chain we should not only look at direct material cost but also the cost of internal supply chain. At Epoch we looked at four areas in particular which include: planning/tracking, storage/delivery, inventory management, and supplier relationships.

Smart factories require the core underlying processes to be connected and “talking” to generate the data necessary to make real-time process decisions, that is, the IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things). In a truly connected factory, an ongoing continuous dialog between machines, business processes, suppliers and customers is happening in the background. This dialog is not only interactive, but proactive, as a constant stream of real-time data is tweaking and adjusting processes to drive improvement. It also provides time-critical information on how processes are operating, supply chain pipeline, and delivery status updates—all based on data.
