The great “All About Open Automation” show
Each month we’ll bring you an action-packed livestream with hook-ups to international SMT hot spots, interviews with experts, application examples of Open Automation in real SMT factories, and much more.
Why automation?
How can individual electronics manufacturing processes be improved in a way that makes sense financially?
What can software accomplish?
What can hardware accomplish?
How do integrated M2M and vertical communication work?
Learn more about these and other topics in our livestreams and get a leg up on the competition.
Have questions during the event? Chat with our experts immediately afterward.
Host Laszlo Sereny, Head of ASM Global Learning & Information Management and his team look forward to your participation.

Open Automation combines seamless M2M communication with third-party solutions and the integration of existing systems. Essential components are open interfaces such as the Hermes standard for horizontal and IPC-CFX for vertical communication. In this livestream you will learn what benefits Hermes delivers relative to SMEMA in terms of equipment investment, line length and user assists, and what opportunities are available for retrofitting your production with Hermes.

The 80/20 rule: Automating in a way that makes sense financiallyFrom the Center of Competence: Kenneth Koh, Head of Solutions Marketing ROA ASMPT The digital transformation and automation are the main drivers of Industry 4.0, from which SMT manufacturers hope to gain more efficiency, productivity, and resiliency. Are these pipe dreams or real opportunities? Together with his studio guests, Laszlo Sereny analyzes the concrete effects of automation in SMT production and explains with help of the Pareto Principle how SMT manufacturers can invest in phased automation in a way that makes financial sense and what Elon Musk can still learn from Open Automation. Enjoy a successful mix of hands-on examples directly from the Center of Competence and the concentrated knowledge of automation experts. Fact box The Pareto PrincipleLooking at the degree of automation under the maxim of achieving the best possible return on investment (ROI), the “Pareto Principle” states that 20 percent of the resources deployed will deliver 80 percent of the results. Any additional percentage point of improvement requires a disproportionate amount of additional expenditures and should therefore be weighed with great care. From an ROI-based point of view, a fully automated shop floor rarely delivers optimal results.

LEAF: The four-factor model for economical automationDirect from the factory floor with hands-on tips for SMT production automation: Alessandro Bonara, Head of Global Prefabrication & Electronic ASMPT LEAF stands for “labor”, “error probability”, “automation” and “frequency”. The four-factor model can be the foundation and decision aid for SMT manufacturers to determine which automation step on their line makes sense and which doesn’t. Rob Raine explains the model using the example of a solder paste printer, and Jens Katschke shows directly from the Center of Competence the features users should focus on when they implement Open Automation. Fact box LEAF – the four-factor checkLEAF provides the basis for calculating whether an automation step makes economic sense.

Getting connected: Hermes vs. SMEMADirect from the factory floor with hands-on tips for SMT production automation: Alessandro Bonara, Head of Global Prefabrication & Electronic ASMPT Open Automation combines seamless M2M communication with third-party solutions and the integration of existing systems. Essential components are open interfaces such as the Hermes standard for horizontal and IPC-CFX for vertical communication. In this livestream you will learn what benefits Hermes delivers relative to SMEMA in terms of equipment investment, line length and user assists, and what opportunities are available for retrofitting your production with Hermes. Fact box The Hermes standardThe non-proprietary IPC-Hermes-9852 protocol features advanced M2M communication for board flow management on SMT production lines. It forwards PCB-related information together with the board along the components of an SMT line. In addition, the product itself becomes a driver of changes, for example by triggering automatic conveyor width adjustments or program changes. The Hermes standard also provides the foundation for the continuous traceability of circuit boards in an SMT line.

Data: Measure, collect and analyzeFrom the Center of Competence: Kenneth Koh, Head of Solutions Marketing ROA ASMPT and Stephane LeRoux, Line Solutions Marketing Manager ASMPT Special interview with AOI specialist Viscom Without real-time data and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), meaningful automation of electronics manufacturers’ shop floors is not feasible. But how do you obtain all this data from your SMT line? What data can actually be recorded and collected? And how do you distinguish important from less important data? Which systems and solutions support this? Using the example of the ProcessExpert system, we explain how it uses data from the entire line to control the printing process. We talk about solutions for the automated monitoring, analysis and interpretation of all relevant performance indicators – from the individual machine to the entire SMT line to the factory-wide coverage of all SMT equipment. Fact box Process ExpertA prime example of step-by-step automation: Combined with the Process Engine expert software, the Process Lens SPI system becomes the world’s only automatic inline SPI expert system step by step. Open interfaces, protocols and AI make it possible to integrate third-party solutions such as AOI systems. In this way, the Process Expert learns from every single printing and assembly action, enabling it to control and improve printing processes entirely on its own.
