Speedline Launches MPM PrinTrack Traceability and Verification
July 30, 2015 | Speedline Technologies, Inc.Estimated reading time: 2 minutes
Speedline Technologies announces the launch of MPM PrinTrack, a new ‘open architecture’ traceability and verification system with expansion possibilities for the user well beyond the printer.
MPM PrinTrack begins by adding new functionality and traceability to the solder paste printing process. With PrinTrack, the user always has an easily-accessible, comprehensive history detailing how each product was printed, when it was made, the process parameters used to print it, and all pertinent information that can be used to track products or troubleshoot the process if needed. A flexible Web reporting interface can be user-configured to produce traceability reports.
PrinTrack focuses on printing process parameters, solder paste and tooling, but can seamlessly integrate with other equipment and elements in the manufacturing cycle. PrinTrack harvests data from the printer, including assembly part number, work order number, panel ID and other barcode information. Traceability data across several printers is consolidated into one database residing on a server. Reports generated include a product history report, a list of panel IDs, circuit IDs, work order IDs, and more.
PrinTrack’s comprehensive product traceability is developed in partnership with globally-recognized leader Cogiscan. Cogiscan enables communication with other equipment in the line to support seamless integration, a standard method of connecting to MES and ERP systems, and is expandable to factory-wide Track, Trace, and Control. PrinTrack is powered by the Speedline Open Apps Interface (OAI). OAI provides the operator with detailed machine state and process information including gate product entry and exit from machine; it empowers the operator to control process changeover; it also provides process verification and validation, and can communicate with the operator at the machine in real time. Open Apps is a portal to the emerging Industry 4.0 ‘Smart Factory’ vision and its advanced communications, functionality, and concepts in the value chain organization.
