Key Values

Increase operator's efficiency

Get the assembly more reliable

Improve product quality by higher yield

Traceability

Material Management

Features


Central storage of work flows and instructions

Sharing and accumulate knowledge & know-how

Avoid errors and increase motivation

Cost saving by reducing error factor 

Connection to MES and/or ERP system

Provide "just-in-time" required materials automatically

Manual assembly included in the reporting loop

Cost saving by more efficient production  and material planning

Typical use-cases for PGMA to guide & enhance are:

  • Manual THT insertion
  • Manual mechanical assembly
  • Semiautomatic screw & nut mounting with and without torque control
  • Manual visual inspection
  • Semiautomatic testing and/or measurement
  • Manual product packing and labelling incl. weight control (optional)
  • Training for any manual assembly & activity

The ROI (return of invest) period for PGMA implementation is typically much less than one year due to reduction of failures and mistakes, speeding up the assembly process and finally increase of user‘s motivation.
