Keys to Digitalisation
The connected and autonomous factory
In order to build up an autonomous factory, each process and production step needs to be automated and planned wisely. All layers of the factory need to be connected and harmonized to improve operational equipment efficiency, productivity, and achieve overall traceability across the supply chain. Production planning is the first step: From incoming material to SMT process management and process traceability the production process needs to be coordinated and analyzed. Enterprise integration plays an important role in the planning process. Last, maintenance management is an essential part of the connected factory.

Your SMT Manufacturing Q&A
In SMT (Surface Mount Technology) manufacturing, electronic components such as resistors, capacitors, integrated circuits are mounted directly onto the surface of the PCB, as opposed to older methods like THT (Through-hole technology) where components are not placed but inserted into holes on the board. Panasonic offers both SMT machines and THT machines for production.
Panasonic offers a wide range of SMT Equipment for electronics manufacturing, including SMT Manufacturing machines, SMT Pick and Place and SMT Assembly. In more detail, we offer:
Stencil Printing: Applying solder paste onto the PCB through a stencil, defining the areas where components will be placed.
Component Pick and Place: Automated machines pick up components from reels or trays and precisely place them onto the solder paste on the PCB according to the design.
Insertion Machines: Panasonic’s insertion platforms for radial and axial processes with high density and high speed. PTH / THT (Pin Through Hole / Through Hole Technology) solutions.
Final assembly, test & packaging (FATP): Panasonic Guided Manual Assembly supports production processes where manual placement is still in use to reduce errors and improve efficiency.
Software Solutions: Every production expansion or capacity adjustment should be based on data. For this purpose, it is not only necessary to gather data, but also to process it. To this end, we offer appropriate software solutions.
The NPM G Series is a new platform that brings together four technologies into a single offering that minimizes the reliance on the traditional 5M (Human, Machine, Material, Method, Measurement) method that many production sites still use. The NPM G Series incorporates:
NPM-GP/L screen printing machine with automatic printing process functions can automatically implement production line changes.
NPM-GH modular mounter with industry-leading mounting accuracy.
Auto Setting Feeder (ASF) for the automatic supply of mounting components, an industry first. The ASF can automatically peel back the cover on surface-mount component tape between 4mm and 104mm wide.
APC-5M system for Adaptive Process Control (APC) tracks the correct placement of components based on the solder printing position and transfers feedback to the stencil printer in case of misalignment.
