aspects of the assembly environment. This is to overcome complexities, re- spond to changing market demand and increase profits. Achieving these goals requires comprehensive, inte- grated, advanced capabilities that ERP/MRP systems, machine vendor software and most vendor solutions do not provide. Optimal Electronics’ Optel MES (manufacturing execution system) software is designed to fill the gaps left by other systems. A major challenge in electronics
T
manufacturing is the increasing market demand for detailed, compo- nent-level traceability throughout each stage of the assembly process. Managing the myriad complexities involved in achieving accurate com- ponent traceability, at the most de- tailed level, requires an automated, cost-effective approach. Customer ex- pectations must be managed, while costs, human intervention and head- count must be minimized. Founded in 1998, Optimal Elec-
tronics Corporation was established to deliver advanced production opti-
oday’s electronics manufacturers need technologies and processes for managing and improving all
mization capabilities for electronics manufacturers. Designing solutions for world-class manufacturers, such as Rockwell Automation, Continen- tal, National Instruments, Magna
turn on investment in plants and equipment by enabling greater man- ufacturing throughput and overall product quality. Optimal Electronics’ mission is
manufacturing data and processes through the use of a plant-level or company-accessible database,” says Ranko Vujosevic, Optimal founder and CEO. Users control the entire manu-
facturing shop floor from their desk- tops or check status on plant PC dashboards or from tablets. He adds that Optimal Electronics provides customers with a comprehensive software system that is simple to use and integrates manufacturing data with ERP/MRP systems.
Advanced MES Solution Optel provides complete capa-
Optimal designs software that monitors and controls all phases of electronics assembly.
Electronics, Rockwell Collins, 3M, BAE Systems, Banner Engineering, and Digi International, Optimal Electronics developed integrated MES solutions that enhanced the re-
to increase the profitability of its cus- tomers by maximizing production effi- ciency and output, while reducing overall costs. “We accomplish this by controlling and tracking the essential
bilities for accurate work order-, pan- el- and circuit-level traceability by interfacing directly with the SMT placement machines on the produc- tion line. The software automates on- line setup verification, ensuring that the correct parts are loaded into the correct SMT machine slots. With the software system, manufacturing op- erations can also leverage automated capabilities for real-time component cycle counting and advanced parts outage warnings to significantly re-
