With powerful software from the WORKS Software Suite, you get the most from your lines while reducing your employees’ workloads and controlling and optimizing your production and material flows.
WORKS Operations bundles requests from the shopfloor, prioritizes them, and assigns them proactively and skill-based with sufficient lead time. The assist requests of the lines then appear as tasks on the mobile device of an available operator or, if the task can be completed remotely, on a desktop at the workplace. The result is the efficient execution of assists across lines in flexible, smart operator pools.

With the enhancement of Automated Program Change in WORKS Operations, product changeovers in electronics manufacturing are now even more efficient. The latest version supports automatic program switching for family setups and cross-setup product changes. The program download occurs fully automatically with the first circuit board of the new batch, making the process faster and error-free. Automated Program Change is based on a network with IPC-HERMES-9852 interfaces, enabling seamless data transfers following the latest industry standard. This optional function offers key advantages for electronics manufacturers: fast product changeovers without line downtime, reduced operator workload, and less scrap from faulty manual downloads.

Siemens Smart Infrastructure develops pioneering building technologies at its global head quarters in Zug, Switzerland. The plant manufactures high-precision controllers for building automation as well as fire alarm panels and detectors for smoke, fire, and various gases. The production environment is demanding. Roughly 3,500 different components ranging from the tiniest 0201m parts to large and heavy OSCs are processed each day on four production lines. Product setups change six to eight times per day on each line. Despite the factory’s already high level of efficiency, Siemens constantly focuses on making further improvements in order to avoid downtimes and become even more productive. The primary goal is to keep shortening the setup times and minimize the fault rates.
"The Automated Program Change feature of ASMPT lines is a real highlight for us. Product changeovers can now be executed sequentially wwithout having to empty the line beforehand. Using the Hermes protocol, each machine loads the new program automatically. This function makes us pioneers in Europe and has enabled us to eliminate a potential scource of errors for good."
