Production 100% Traceability PTS Mobile  MES 15.78

 

 

 

Introduction

The Part Traceability System (PTS) is an essential component of the MES suite of tools, designed specifically to meet the growing demands of customers. Its primary objective includes offering comprehensive traceability at the component level and ensuring strict quality controls. By automating production lines and enforcing rigorous product quality control, this system plays a pivotal role in enhancing overall productivity. its successful implementation has been witnessed across numerous plants worldwide.

 

As technology continues to evolve and SMT process equipment tools become increasingly intricate and feature-rich, the PTS application and its accompanying features consistently advance. However, our commitment remains to provide support for all technology tools. 42Q prioritizes offering the necessary flexibility to accommodate various line types and deliver diverse levels of traceability that are crucial to the success of your business.

PTS Mobile

PTS Mobile is specifically designed to be compatible with handheld devices, recognizing that operators may not always be in front of a computer and require the convenience of using a handheld device for operation.

Re-Validate Material

Whenever material is going to be exhausted, splicing is required to ensure production can proceed without interruption. However, there is a small chance that splicing was mistakenly done to the wrong feeder slot and it can’t be detected by the normal part verification process.

Therefore, a material re-validation is required to handle this scenario. By re-validate material (just re-scan material barcode, without interrupting the current production run), chances of splicing material to the wrong feeder slot can be avoided.

The Re-Validate Material is a mobile solution (GUI) to handle the situation of Component Reset and Re-validation for traditional SMT Machines. The users can validate the materials with the Workstation, Material Barcode, Feeder Barcode, and Station.

The main screen will request the user to input or scan the Workstation, Material Barcode, Feeder Barcode, andStation Location.

Load SMT Tools 

This function is used to load and unload Jig.

Prerequisites

• Set Jig Control=Yes under the System Setting(Traceability) page
• A Jig barcode has been created 

Figure 6: Load SMT Tools 

PTSM LoadSMTTools.png

 

• Input the Workstation name and select a Workstation Available.
• Input the corresponding jig barcode in the Jig Barcode textbox. 
• Click Submit.
• The user can clear the content of the input box by clicking the Reset button.
• The user can close the current page by clicking the Cancel button.
• The system will auto-verify whether the jig barcode can be loaded to the selected workstation based on the defined mapping. If the jig barcode is correct, it will then be loaded successfully. An error message will show up at the top side if the system fails to load the jig. 
• If the JIG has been loaded to the workstation, then the user can enter the workstation and JIG barcode again to unload the Jig from this workstation.

 

Marial Queue   

This function is used to batch joint materials and prepare for automatic loading.

 

Prerequisites

Set Allow material queue =Yes under the “System Settings (Traceability)” page

Figure 7: Material Queue

• Workstation: Input the Workstation name and select a Workstation Available.
• Station: Input the Station and press the enter key. The loaded material will show automatically. 
• Confirm Material Barcode: Input Confirm Material Barcode.
• New material Barcode: Input or scan the New material Barcode.
• Click Submit.
• The user can close the current page by clicking the Cancel button.
• The user can clear the content of the input box by clicking the Reset button.
• The user can return the previous step by clicking the Return button.
• The user can view the Material Queue Report by clicking the Report button.

• Select and click Delete to delete the material if needed.

 

Note 1: The first material cannot be deleted from the Material Queue Report.

Note 2: Material queue max reels and Material queue max Boards cannot be larger than the values set on the system settings page if Allow Material Queue is YES.

 

Scan Barcode   

After the production line has been activated the materials loaded in Traceability, go to the Scan Barcode module.

Figure 9: Scan Barcode
