Both automated and manual processes play an important role in modern electronics production, especially in soldering processes. Particularly in comparison to automated soldering, manual processes can have disadvantages that affect costs, quality and efficiency, as manual production steps have a number of disadvantages:
- Inconsistency & quality deviations – Human errors can lead to fluctuations in quality, as each work step can vary slightly. EUTECT control technology ensures reproducible soldering results in automated soldering processes.
- Higher costs – Manual work is generally more expensive than automated processes, as it requires more time and specialist personnel, if these are still available. With the EUTECT factor, we ensure that the running costs of an EUTECT soldering system are as low as possible.
- Lower efficiency – Manual processes often take longer than automated processes, which reduces the overall production speed. EUTECT systems are cycle time-optimized process solutions where efficiency and speed are clearly demonstrated to the customer in evaluations.
- Higher error rate – In contrast to machines, which work with high precision and high reproducibility, human error can lead to rejects or rework. With EUTECT kinematic solutions, manual activities can be kept out of the soldering process or reduced to a minimum.
- Limited scalability – Manual production is more difficult to scale as it requires more trained personnel and cannot be operated around the clock. With EUTECT's intuitive software environment, production can be scaled more efficiently without the need for hardware changes.
- Workload & ergonomics – Repetitive manual activities can lead to physical fatigue and therefore to avoidable errors. The possible high degree of automation of EUTECT systems, for example using robots, means that manual activities can be kept to a minimum.
- Documentation and traceability problems – Automated systems often record production data in more detail than manual processes, which facilitates traceability and quality assurance. EUTECT control technology ensures a reliable database here.
We therefore use our automated selective soldering processes to optimize electronics production processes in which either high-volume or very complex assemblies are manufactured. Through extensive evaluation, we work with customers to develop solutions that eliminate the disadvantages mentioned above.
