Electrical and electronic fields require elaborate and complex work, yet a high percentage of tasks are still performed manually. A major issue faced is how to automate the processes of part loading, surface implementation, PCB assembly, unit assembly and shipment in order to reduce human error. e-F@ctory helps provide a solution to this issue by providing robots equipped with force sensors and work support systems.

ANDON
Issues
Visualization of production status is time-consuming and cumbersome
Can’t install status indicators for the sake of visualization alone
Solution
Able to efficiently build and operate systems not only capable of status visualization on large screens, but also tablets and computers. Features a signage function to improve the added-value of the visualization system
