No Control Over Your Components? You’re Losing Time, Money, and Productivity.<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

For many EMS companies and OEMs, component management is still a necessary evil. Reels are scattered across storage locations, operators spend valuable time searching for components, and inventory accuracy often depends on time consuming stock counts. Meanwhile, the pressure to increase production speed, ensure full traceability, and efficiently handle smaller batch sizes continues to grow.<\/p>\n

Axtron, a specialist in electronics assembly for industries including medical devices, traffic technology, and the semiconductor sector, faced these exact challenges. By implementing an automated ESSEGI component storage and inventory management system<\/strong>, the company transformed its manual inventory process into a fully digital and integrated material flow.<\/p>\n

Managing Dozens of Production Changeovers Every Day<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Axtron manufactures electronic assemblies for a wide range of industries. That requires maximum flexibility.<\/p>\n

Every day, the company processes four to five new production projects, representing approximately 175 different component line items<\/strong>. In such an environment, reliable inventory management is not a luxury but a prerequisite for efficient production.<\/p>\n

Rather than relying on manual records or Excel spreadsheets, Axtron wanted greater inventory visibility while reducing dependence on manual processes.<\/p>\n

From Manual Records to Real Time Inventory Management<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

For years, inventory was managed using a simple manual system. Components were written off by hand, a process that was not only time consuming but also prone to errors.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, the initial request for a more professional inventory management solution came from the finance department.<\/p>\n

With ESSEGI, that uncertainty disappeared. Every component is automatically registered, ensuring inventory levels are always up to date while virtually eliminating manual stock counting.<\/p>\n

Compact Footprint, High Storage Capacity<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

One of the key reasons Axtron selected ESSEGI was the combination of high storage density and minimal floor space requirements.<\/p>\n

The automated storage system accommodates approximately 3,600 component reels<\/strong> within a single compact unit, freeing valuable production space for manufacturing activities.<\/p>\n

In addition, the system is climate controlled, allowing MSL (Moisture Sensitivity Level) components<\/strong> to be stored under carefully controlled environmental conditions. This helps maintain component quality and reduces the risk of production defects caused by moisture sensitive devices.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t
