As SMT manufacturers expand operations, integrating equipment from various suppliers presents challenges. Proprietary control systems limit flexibility, restrict machine-to-machine (M2M) communication, and complicate real-time monitoring. Electronics Manufacturing Services (EMS) companies, in particular, require cost-effective automation solutions that do not rely on a single supplier’s ecosystem.

In this Work Smarter video, discover how camLine’s Line Controller provides supplier-independent SMT line monitoring, enabling seamless equipment integration, real-time visibility, and scalable automation.

Supplier-Independent SMT Line Monitoring & Control

As SMT manufacturers expand operations, integrating equipment from various suppliers presents challenges. Proprietary control systems limit flexibility, restrict machine-to-machine (M2M) communication, and complicate real-time monitoring. Electronics Manufacturing Services (EMS) companies, in particular, require cost-effective automation solutions that do not rely on a single supplier’s ecosystem.

In this Work Smarter video, discover how camLine’s Line Controller provides supplier-independent SMT line monitoring, enabling seamless equipment integration, real-time visibility, and scalable automation.

The Challenges: Maintaining Process Timing Across SMT Lines

Many SMT production lines consist of equipment from different suppliers, each with unique control systems and communication protocols. This creates challenges such as:

  • Limited Equipment Visibility: Data silos prevent real-time monitoring across different machines.
  • Vendor Lock-In: Proprietary control systems restrict flexibility when integrating third-party equipment.
  • High Automation Costs: Scaling automation often requires expensive, supplier-specific solutions that are difficult to implement.

To ensure smooth operations and long-term scalability, manufacturers need a supplier-independent SMT line monitoring solution that eliminates integration barriers.
