Introducing Panasonic's SMT Software: The Role of iLNB

iLNB is a line management software that manages automatic changeovers on the SMT production floor.

Features Overview

"iLNB", the integrated line management system from Panasonic, connects Panasonic equipment, third-party devices,and upper systems to solve your problems and enhance operational efficiency.

Before/After Integrated Line Management System

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.

Customer Case Study

Streamlining Model Changeover Operations

ALPS ALPINE has significantly improved the hectic production environment that occurred with each model changeover since implementing iLNB. We present a case study showing how this created leeway for floor workers and reduced human errors.
