For many years APR from the Netherlands has been active in the production of electronics products and applications. They deliberately process small to medium series; this can range from 25 to 3000 pieces. Why that choice? Manager Bart van Kersbergen explains: \u201cBy producing small series, we can be very flexible towards our customers. Quality and fast delivery are our priority. Everything we produce here is always programmed and extensively tested before it leaves the warehouse.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The manufacturing industry is constantly evolving. Parts become smaller, technologies more advanced. APR is also well aware of this. \u201cIn our industry, solid robust products are necessary,\u201d says Bart. \u201cTo meet this, we have added bits of automation in our workflow without undermining the flexibility in our production.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

<\/h2>\n

Software for stock and purchase management<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Reliable software was needed to manage the purchasing and inventory process more efficiently. Existing ERP packages did not sufficiently meet their needs. In their search for support in stock management and purchasing advice, they ended up at Smans. \u201cSmans is the first point of contact for us when it comes to automation and digitalisation on the shop floor. We quickly found the\u00a0Essegi Automation<\/strong>\u00a0solution. Especially the implementation of this software was an important step, and again Smans guided us very well.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are almost daily changes in our planning. The Essegi Automation solution automatically calculates the impact on the stock when the planning changes and determines exactly what you need at that moment. What used to be in the buyer\u2019s head is now in the system and everyone can obtain a just-in-time report with purchasing advice, availability of components and so on.\u201d<\/p>\n

In order for the software to work optimally, structure in the storage area of all electronic components was required. The Material Incoming Station in combination with the\u00a0ISM3600<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0ISM500<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0from Essegi Automation provided the solution. The ISM 3600 can store up to 3624 reels. The interior layout is managed dynamically, just like a hard disk. The software keeps track of the humidity level of each reel.<\/p>\n

Now that the management of all SMD components is running smoothly at APR, the next step is the management of their THT components. The system they have invested in, is 100% suitable for this and knows the difference.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Benefits<\/strong><\/h2>\n

What benefits is APR experiencing as a result of this investment? \u201cWork efficiency has definitely improved. While the machine is picking our stock, our people can do other preparations. There are fewer errors when picking components. We know everything in advance, which means that we can always reliably complete a production. Finally, we save a lot of space compared to standard storage systems.\u201d<\/p>\n

Smans \u2013 Your full-service partner!<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Are you still looking for an\u00a0intelligent storage system<\/strong>\u00a0for your SMT \/ THT components? Do you want more\u00a0traceability<\/strong>\u00a0or MSL control? Are you looking for a solution for efficient\u00a0purchase and stock management<\/strong>, fully integrated with your current system? As full-service partner we would like to guide you in your search!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
