Siemens EDA (Siemens Digital Industries Software)

Companies around the globe are constantly striving to work more efficiently in order to bring their products to their customers more quickly. As a trusted service provider to large enterprise customers such as Asus, Xiaomi, Murata and Epsom, PT Sat Nusapersada Tbk (PTSN), one of Indonesia's largest providers of electronics manufacturing services (EMS) understands this imperative very well. ?? The company has recently expanded its surface mount technology lines to 24, and this increase of production capacity called for a need to reduce manual work, particularly during the process of new product introduction. To help with that, Sat Nusapersada implemented our Process Preparation software, to help them keep assembly, test and inspection data up to date in a single environment for all stages of the surface mount technology (SMT) manufacturing process. This dramatically reduces the need for manual, error-prone updates, which can cause consistency and reliability issues. What has been the impact? ?? After implementation, Sat Nusapersada has benefited from a 70% reduction in time needed to gather all the incoming data for projects while improving line efficiency by 23%. Use of Siemens Process Preparation has also helped Sat Nusapersada reduce SMT programming tasks by 21% (line configuration setup, common feeder, data output/transfer, move existing product between lines of different equipment brands). The design time needed for solder stencils was reduced by 30% by leveraging the learning libraries that automatically set the correct aperture shape and size to new footprints. “We have achieved significant increases to our production capacity with the introduction of Siemens’ Process Preparation which, when combined with decreases in manual rework, we’re able to better serve our customers and bring them their critical electronics in the timescales that today’s industry demand,” said Stanly Rocky, Asst General Manager of Public Relations, Sat Nusapersada. “it’s great to see the benefits that Sat Nusapersada have gained from implementation of Siemens’ Process Preparation and how it is benefitting from improved efficiency in its SMT production lines,” said Alex Teo, our managing director and vice president, South East Asia. “Our success is the region is centered on enabling our customers to not only innovate their own products, but to scale up the production lines for an increased global demand for electronics.” To learn more about this announcement, check the comments for the link to our newsroom. ?? #efficiency #manufacturing #software
