Vitesco Automotive Electronics, a leader in the modern automotive electronics industry, focuses on providing high-quality electronic components for global automakers. The company is committed to continuously improving product quality and production efficiency through advanced technology and processes. Against this backdrop, the transformation and upgrade of Vitesco''s SMT workshop has drawn particular attention.

Vitesco''s SMT workshop operates over ten efficient ASM placement lines. The company uses Setupcenter as error-proofing material software with the Siplace OIB SDK interface, combined with SAP for enterprise resource management, forming an efficient production management system.

This project introduced Hegong Software''s RockPlus MOM platform''s ECall system and SMT smart material racks, implementing JIT intelligent material distribution for placement lines:

Precise Material Management: Based on production plans and placement machine station tables, the system automatically calculates precise material requirements for each product.

Intelligent Material Preparation and Binding: The warehouse prepares materials according to station tables, binding smart racks, lines, and program names for precise execution.

AGV Automated Logistics: Automated Guided Vehicles deliver prepared racks to production lines based on consumption progress.

Real-Time Monitoring and Data Sync: Through OIB interface integration with Setupcenter, placement consumption is monitored in real-time with data synchronized to SAP.

Intelligent Warning and Replenishment: When materials approach warning thresholds, the system automatically identifies and guides operators for replenishment while displaying consumption and alerts on line dashboards.

Intelligent Pick Guidance: Smart racks automatically illuminate corresponding storage location indicators before operator picks, turning off after material removal, reducing operator time.

Through these intelligent upgrades, Vitesco''s SMT workshop achieved significant efficiency improvements and cost savings:

Improved Operational Efficiency: Smart racks dramatically reduced material search time, improving work efficiency.

JIT Distribution System: Just-in-time distribution reduced inventory costs and improved material utilization.

Seamless Data Integration: Connecting SAP with equipment data flows improved inventory accuracy and transparency.

Vitesco''s transformation and upgrade not only improved production efficiency but set a new benchmark for intelligent development across the automotive electronics industry. Through continuous technological innovation and process optimization, Vitesco is leading the industry toward a smarter, more efficient future.
