Self-Programming Software to Accelerate 3D Inspection Continued from previous page
the feedback from SPI to printer, feed- forward from SPI to pick-and-place, and feedback from AOI to pick-and- place. The concept of the smart facto- ry is to maximize efficiencies and improve processes through automa- tion and self-optimization. An integral part is the ability to collect accurate data and use it for process improve- ment. Industry 4.0 promotes vendor- independent M2M communication. Saki’s software was built around the idea of machine independence in all aspects of its operation.
“As part of the smart and M2M initiative, we have established relia- tionships with many of the leading companies in the electronics assem- bly industry, especially pick-and- place and screen printer equipment manufacturers,” says Jodie Akiyama. “These collaborations are essential for moving M2M forward, as they sig- nificantly contribute to the produc- tion of high-quality products and result in a more efficient process.” She points out that Saki was the first company to receive APC- MFB certification for all of its 3D AOI and SPI systems. Other impor- tant industry partnerships include Fuji Machine Manufacturing’s Smart Factory with Nexim initiative that standardizes the communication pro- tocol between Saki’s inspection machines and Fuji’s component placement machines. This creates a manufacturing line that extends beyond the boundaries of corpora- tions. The ASYS PULSE community networks Saki’s automated inspec- tion and measurement systems with electronic production equipment from other PULSE members. “Saki takes a proactive ap- proach to standardization of the com- munication protocol and standards development. As yet, no single stan- dard has been adopted,” says Jodie Akiyama. “For our systems to talk with all available systems interna- tionally, Saki adheres to the stan- dards set forth by the SMT equip- ment communication protocol stan-

dardization subcommitte (JARA), as well as the Hermes Standard, which focuses on Industry 4.0.”
The Industry 4.0 smart factory is becoming a reality one step at a time. Inspection equipment functions as a sentry, ensuring that devices are being assembled precisely and accu- rately, that equipment is functioning optimally and that information is reliable. M2M processes can only be as good as the equipment, systems and the software running them. Contact: Saki America, Inc.,
