PanaCIM-EE Gen2: Smart Factory Software Suite

Panasonic’s manufacturing operations optimizer automatically draws up production plans to reduce man-hours and enhancing production efficiency.

Featuressmart-factory-solutions software panacim-logo-02In order to make electronics manufacturing more efficient, digital planning tools and reliable data management are becoming increasingly important. This applies not only to individual systems, but to entire production lines, in which the data of each individual machine is included in the analysis. To achieve this, Panasonic developed the line management system PanaCIM-EE. With PanaCIM-EE, higher production rates and reduced cycle times can be achieved to make electronics production even more efficient and reliable. The PanaCIM-EE provides an integrated management of an entire SMT floor and achieves enhanced quality, reduced costs and increased floor productivity. This includes 8 functions, like traceability, production analysis plus monitoring and dispatching, material control and verification, maintenance management and the handling of production changeovers, linked to the customer system.

FeaturesThe revolutionary integrated  line  management  system  is  the basis for  controlling the  entire  production line. It  is  not limited  to  Panasonic machines but  also  integrates  third-party  equipment such as PCB transfer systems, laser markers, AOI, SPI and ovens. Conventional systems require a number of PCs to control different machine types from different suppliers. The iLNB controls the entire line with only one PC.  iLNB  significantly improves overall  productivity.  Production  data  and  production  changeover  of  all equipment, such as Panasonic’s placement machines as well as non-Panasonic machines including AOI, SPI, reflow  ovens  and  others,  can  be  controlled.  All  collected  data  are  transferred  to  a remote central computer. Small  errors such  as pick-up  errors  can  be recovered from  that  central  point.  Automatic production changeover is also possible. With the iLNB, users can manage automatic product changeovers and have an E-Link which provides an interface for information input and output, for machine control, management of components per feeder, and communication with a GEM/PLC. iLNB provides total control of the production line by interfacing between Panasonic and non-Panasonic machines, acting as one-stop channel. With the iLNB Users can manage automatic product changeovers and have an E-Link which provides an interface for information in- and output, for machine control, management of component per feeder and a communication to GEM/PLC. Automatic changeover Registration of automatic changeover recipeLine automatic changeoverAutomatic changeover monitoringLine operation monitoringE-Link interface for Information inputDownload / edit of scheduleE-Link interface for Information outputOperational information outputTrace information outputMachine status outputE-Link interface for machine controlMachine interlock; production start controlE-Link interface for feeder writeWriting of component data by an external systemCommunications to GEM/PLCSECS2/GEM communicationOPC communicationIO/RS-232C communication
