  • Feeder Setup Navigator

Main Features

  • Off-Line Setup Instructions
  • In-Line Setup Instructions
  • Production Planning Coordination
With limited cart and human resources, it is difficult to determine each time which slot of which cart should be moved where and in what order to perform setup work efficiently.
Feeder Setup Navigator provides instructions on where to move feeders from and to, and in what sequence they need to be replaced, inserted, or removed for the next setup, while grasping feeder arrangement information on equipment and carts in real-time, based on production plans and component arrangement information.

Feeder Setup Navigator

Strengths and Features

This software solves the following issues.


  • Setup operations are complicated, time-consuming, and labor-intensive
  • Operation efficiency varies from operator to operator
  • Setup operations cause stoppage of equipment, due to which productivity does not improve
  • Setup takes a large number of man-hours, requiring many operators

   Feeder Setup Navigator is the solution.

Introducing Panasonic's SMT Software: The Role of Feeder Setup Navigator

Feeder Setup Navi is a mounting software that realizes efficient setup work that does not depend on the operator and contributes to reducing production lead time and setup man-hours.


The Role of Feeder Setup Navigator

Contributing to productivity improvement with high-precision production time estimation and feeder replacement order indication

The total production time can be estimated considering the setup time and the number of workers. In addition, the amount of setup work and half-used components can be reduced by efficient setup instructions that do not require operators to think. The production results for the estimated production time are displayed, and the plan can be easily revised.

Reduction of changeover time

Visualization of which components/feeders are to be removed or installed during production setup makes it possible to clarify work and perform work without experience. In addition, since the production of the next model can be set up during production, changeover time can be shortened.

Features Overview

  • Automatic work order calculation: Optimal setup work order is automatically calculated and precise instructions are provided to operators.
  • Partial feeder replacement: Replacing only necessary feeders reduces work waste and improves efficiency.
  • Setup support during production: Setup work can be performed during production, reducing the time required to changeovers.
  • Visualization of work instructions: Work instructions are visually displayed on a tablet, etc., to help anyone perform work efficiently.
