• SMT stencil printer: this machine applies solder paste to the printed circuit board (PCB) using a screen printing process. This is usually done fully automatically at high speed and precision. 
• SMT placement machine: This machine uses advanced robotics to place individual SMD components onto the PCB. It usually has a high-resolution vision system that can accurately identify and locate the components on the PCB.
• Reflow soldering oven: This machine uses heat to melt and fuse the solder paste used to attach the components to the PCB to make an electrical connection The oven is usually equipped with advanced temperature control to ensure that the solder is heated to the correct temperature for the correct time.
  
• Automatic Optical Inspection (AOI) Machine: This machine uses advanced cameras and software to inspect the PCB for defects or errors in component placement.
  
• Cleaning machine: This machine removes excess flux and debris from the PCB and ensures that the PCB is clean and ready for final assembly.
• PCB transport systems: When SMT production lines are operated inline (interlinked), this is possible with special modules such as PCB transport systems (PCB handling): These devices ensure the process-safe transport of PCBs between the individual machines. The PCBs are automatically placed on a conveyor belt by a destacker and moved to a subsequent module. At the end of production, the PCBs are stacked in a magazine and can be further processed.
• Software MES - Traceability: State-of-the-art SMT manufacturing companies (EMS - service providers) use software to control and monitor the SMT production line. It usually includes real-time monitoring and control of the machines, as well as advanced data analysis tools that can help optimise the production process and provide traceability.
• Innovative AI Production Optimization: The latest innovation in the manufacturing industry is our AI-driven production optimization software. This patented platform revolutionizes the way production data is captured and analyzed by monitoring the activities of both machines and operators in real-time. By integrating AI and sensor fusion, this software provides deeper insights into production processes and offers unprecedented opportunities for optimization and efficiency improvement.
