Are the opened component reels piling up in the warehouse, but you are not sure whether the number of components on the reels is still sufficient for the next order? X-ray component counting provides clarity here and helps to make optimum use of existing resources.
SmartRep works together with the Korean X-ray expert Techvalley in the field of X-ray component counting.
According to the system, there should often be enough components for an order on a reel, but then it is suddenly empty during assembly. A replacement has to be found. Was the reel not delivered full? Were too many components discarded during assembly? Only a component count can provide the answer. Because if the production line stops due to missing components, it costs money.
During the inventory, dozens of opened reels are found and their expiration date is approaching: How many components are on them? A new reel is often simply started instead of using the expiration date as a decision criterion. Component counting not only minimizes the inventory effort, but also brings efficiency and cost savings to warehouse management.
Components or reels are not damaged during X-ray component counting. The materials can even be packed in dry packs and inserted into the X-ray component counting machine. The time required is minimal: four reels can be recorded and accounted for in 10 seconds. No tedious clamping - simply load quickly and start the X-ray process at the touch of a button.
In order to make optimum use of resources, the exact quantity of available resources must be known at all times. With an X-ray component count, the quantity of delivered components can be checked and recorded as soon as the goods are received. Counting all line returns provides information about the exact remaining stocks.
The HAWKEYE2000 is designed as a stand-alone solution, but can easily be connected to higher-level systems such as the ERP or MES system. This means that the component stocks recorded in the system are always up to date.
In combination with a unique ID, the material flow becomes transparent and traceable, and process data can be kept precisely in view.
The HAWKEYE2000 is characterized by its simple operating concept in addition to the exact and fast counting of up to four component reels: It only takes one click to start the counting process. The counting results are saved and a new label is issued completely automatically, without any further action by the operator being required.
