iLNB: line management system

  • iLNB: line management system

Main Features

  • Automatic changeover
  • E-Link interface for Information input/input, machine control, and feeder write
  • Communications to GEM/PLC
In order to support productivity, quality control, and process methods in mounting production, it is necessary to control and manage the entire line as a whole, including not only Panasonic equipment but also equipment from other manufacturers.
iLNB achieves this through various communication methods with equipment from other manufacturers.

Automatic changeover

Enables recipe registration, changeover, and operational status display for the entire production line, including third-party equipment.

E-Link

Facilitates integration with external systems, including third-party products, and supports various communication protocols for data collection and input/output.

  • Data Input:Imports data from customer systems to modify or update production plans, production sequences, and other parameters related to machine changeovers. Also enables sharing of performance data.
  • Data Output:Collects operational data, traceability information, and status details for each PCB involved in production.
  • Line Control:Executes suppression commands from external systems to manage equipment production processes.

Cross-Model ID Verification Function

The mismatch detection function verifies the unique PCB ID assigned to each board against the pre-configured production program.

  • Preventing Mismatched Components and Enhancing Quality:Automatically detects production boards to prevent incorrect insertion, reducing defects and improving overall product quality.
  • Improving Traceability and Accelerating Root Cause Identification :Records errors and enables rapid identification of their causes, enhancing traceability across the production process.
  • Boosting Production Efficiency and Reducing Costs :Automates process stoppage tasks, minimizes waste, and increases operational efficiency, leading to cost savings.
