Essemtec says about us
Essemtec, a Swiss company involved in the production of P&P machines, discusses Arcadia and the collaboration between the two companies in an article published on its website.
The article details the background of the agreement, specifically highlighting the company's needs and how Arcadia successfully met them.
Below is an excerpt from the article.
Under the motto "the right material, in the right quantity, at the right time, in the right place," the project was defined. The following key needs were recorded as specifications:
-
Requirements
a. The system must manage and intelligently store 3000-4000 SMD packages.
b. The system must fit into the existing premises and be located as close as possible to the production line.
c. The system must be able to track items from the reception of the goods through their storage and to the setup at production line.
d. Large range of storage type such as drying cabinets must be integrable, and the integration with the existing ERP system is a must.
e. Using one source of data for material handling
f. The Return on Investment should not exceed 2 years.
g. The system should be expandable in the future. -
Solution Implemented at Hardmeier Electronics AG.
Essemtec then concluded the article with words from the Head of Production and Purchasing, Mr. Hary Kündig, who expressed the company's satisfaction with purchasing Arcadia's products.
"A key aspect of the material management system is that SMD reels are tracked from reception to final consumption across all systems such as storage, production machines, etc. Every warehouse movement is tracked in real-time. The storage system, the machines, all databases, and the ERP system are now interconnected and synchronized thanks to Essemtec Falcon Software."
"We are now about 5 times faster in setting up a new job and also during retrofitting in production. Our line downtimes have significantly decreased, and the operators work more relaxed. The tedious and time-consuming search for reels no longer exists, and the Return on Investment will be in the expected range. Our high expectations for the system and Essemtec Solution have been more than fulfilled."
In conclusion, the Arcadia team takes this opportunity to thank Essemtec for the article dedicated to us, which offers an interesting and insightful perspective on our work. We appreciate the attention and shared observations, which highlight our ongoing commitment in the SMT field. We recognize the importance of such external reflections, which motivate us to continuously improve and innovate to maintain the high quality of our products. We are excited to continue this conversation and work side by side with Essemtec, as we strive to satisfy more companies in our industry.
