According to Henning Maerkedahl, executive vice president at Valor Denmark, development centre for Trace-X-Pert, traceability is now the key driver in over 60 % of new project implementations, and is one of the main reasons for introducing floor-level MES systems into a manufacturing environment.
Commenting on Trace-X-Pert’s vendor neutrality, Henning Maerkedahl also says, “Many customers either have SMT lines from multiple vendors, or a mix of different machine generations across lines. Trace-X-Pert is the only monitoring, verification and traceability solution that delivers proven integration for all machine vendor brands and their generations. This allows electronics manufacturers to achieve faster set-up time and reduce costly reworks; deliver higher quality and manufacturing yield – with one factory-wide solution. The multi-function, real-time control interfaces developed by Valor for the four leading machine vendors in the market are in addition to Valor’s general line-monitoring solution that covers all types of machines from all machine vendors.”
“Our close partnerships with the machine companies give us the ability to provide the best integration for maximum throughput and productivity. The fact that we have real-time monitoring and the most accurate traceability differentiates Trace-X-Pert from other point tools”, Henning Maerkedahl added.
The strength of the Trace-X-Pert technology lies in the huge choice of robust and error-proof real-time assembly line machine interfaces. It also lies in the fact that the state of-the-art Trace-X-Pert technology handles assembly lines with mixed machine vendor configurations, for optimum machine and assembly line performance.
