For the growing electronics and semiconductor industries, CTS GmbH has developed comprehensive automation solutions. The AutoBagging Tool (ABT) for the fully automatic packaging of FOSB significantly increases throughput and also offers a considerable increase in quality and safety during packaging. “The airtight packaging of products for transport to a processing plant is a complex process and is subject to the strictest criteria. CTS has been able to fully automate this packaging process,” reports authorized signatory Alfred Pammer proudly.
“With this innovative solution, we achieve a significant increase in quality and also relieve the employees enormously. Our goal is to develop high-tech solutions and set new standards with them.”
With the cts “Smart Factory”, the company is setting new standards in the field of automation in the electronics industry.
“Starting with goods-in, where the complete reel is recorded and stored in the Gigaflex Storage Center, to buffering the PCB magazines in the Smart Warehouse and Mini Smart Warehouse, cts also offers solutions,” explains Philipp Eberherr, responsible for intralogistics solutions at cts. ”We are experts in smart intralogistics and support our customers as a reliable partner in their transformation to a smart factory.”
With the Gigaflex Reel Storage, cts Smart Warehouse and Mini Smart Warehouse solutions, cts offers an intelligent, modular and highly effective way to store component reels and PCB magazines. By significantly reducing shop floor occupancy, these solutions save valuable space in the production area. The customized mini-buffer solutions (cts transfer stations) reliably compensate for minor asynchronies in the production process.
“With the automatic supply of the storage solutions and systems by AMRs of different sizes and load capacities, the material flow can be optimized. In addition, this makes the process more flexible and reliable, and enables traceability,” explains Alfred Pammer.
The use of different AMRs, sometimes from multiple manufacturers, is easily possible with the cts middleware sloXis®. sloXis® combines all the elements of a modern industrial plant: starting with the AMRs of different manufacturers with different functionalities, through small buffers, to the smart warehouse. The software forms the central interface to the MES/ERP. So there is nothing standing in the way of converting electronics production into a smart factory! (red./PR)
