Integration made
easy, and Full
Connectivity
Introducing - The Hive - Fully integrated end-to-end storage solutions. Full traceability down to individual components. Helping users to expand system capacities at any time to suit individual and growing needs. Hive provides interfaces to our own and third party storage systems, as well as connections to ERP systems and forms the basis for a fully integrated material flow. From incoming goods, to the main warehouse, setup station, Essemtec production machines, to the finished product.
The heart of Essemtec`s Smart Material Management Solution - eStorage - has a user-friendly HMI that guarantees a fast learning curve and ensures optimal usage. It is just a few clicks to all standard operations including full traceability of consumed material and correct inventory status at all times. MSD control is also part of the system scope. eStorage guarantees that the right material is in the right place at the right time.
The eMIS Management Software Suite for SMT production includes functions for job planning, feeder setup optimization, stock management, traceability, operational data analysis, line management and much more. With eMIS, managers and operators can keep track of actual, future and past production. Flexible interfaces simplify integration into your existing ERP and MES environment.
At Hardmeier Electronics AG SMT production, there has been numerous efforts to find solutions to improve material management and component storage. Primarily, the aim was to make the costly setup of orders, the storage and retrieval of components significantly more cost-effective. A key aspect of the material management system is that SMD reels are tracked from reception to final consumption across all systems such as storage, production machines, etc.. Every warehouse movement is tracked in real-time. The storage system, the machines, all databases, and the ERP system are now interconnected and synchronized thanks to Essemtec Falcon Software.
Naturally adaptive
Hive is a fully integrated SMD warehouse management solution, suitable for small to medium sized manufacturing as well as high to ultra high speed lines. According to studies, over 60% of all machine downtimes are due to logistical problems, i.e. the right material is not in the right place at the right time. Hive reduces this downtime by 95%. The ROI of a Hive solution is typically less than one year.
