Abstract
A method and a system for providing operator information in an Surface Mount Technology (SMT) system comprising an SMT information database, a SMT pick and place machine and an identity tag scanner, the method comprising: receiving a bin in said SMT pick and place machine, wherein said bin is adapted to comprise vertically oriented bin load units, wherein said bin load unit has an pallet identity tag attached to the bin load units upwards facing surface; starting SMT production on said SMT pick and place machine; scanning individual identity tags attached to bin load units comprising component tape reels to obtain bin load units IDs.
Claims18
A method for changing operator information in a Surface Mount Technology (SMT) system including a SMT information database and a SMT pick and place machine, the method comprising:
- providing a container or a carrier configured to carry at least one of a plurality bin load units, component tape reels or electronic components in a plastic bag, wherein said container or said carrier is associated with or includes a display unit or an electronic label;
- receiving or retrieving, via a network, an input data related to said container or said carrier and an ongoing or upcoming SMT job;
- presenting a display data on said display unit or said electronic label based on said input data;
- and
- scanning, using a barcode scanner, at least one of
- said display unit or said electronic label of said container or said carrier, and
- at least one barcode associated with said container or said carrier,
- wherein said scanning triggers an action of changing information in said SMT information database with an updated information regarding said ongoing or upcoming SMT job.
A method for providing a Surface Mount Technology (SMT) job related information to an SMT information database in a SMT system including a SMT pick and place machine, the method comprising:
- providing a carrier configured to carry at least one of a plurality of bin load units, component tape reels or electronic components, wherein said carrier includes an electronic label or a display unit;
- receiving or retrieving, via a network, an input data related to an SMT job;
- presenting a display data on said electronic label or said display unit based on said input data;
- and
- scanning, using a barcode scanner, at least one of
- at least one electronic barcode associated with or located on said carrier, or
- said electronic label or said display unit,
- wherein said scanning triggers at least one of
- changing said display data on said electronic label or said display unit, or
- automatic sending of an uplink data to change said SMT job related information in said SMT information database.
