End-to-end SMT placement / PCBA assembly / final assembly, purpose-built for the electronics industry's traits: high mix, low volume, frequent changeovers. Placement programs auto-link to BOMs, AOI / X-Ray defect data flows back to SPC, and SMT feeder kitting (SET) cuts changeover time by 50%.
In high-mix low-volume scenarios, balancing efficiency and quality is hard
30+ model changeovers a day cause big time losses → SET-kitted feeders + SMED projects + smart scheduling
After a BOM change, an out-of-sync placement program causes missing parts → placement program bidirectionally bound to the BOM, prompting an update the moment the BOM changes
AOI inspection data doesn't enter the main system, making reviews hard → AOI / X-Ray defect data flows back into SPC and the defect workflow
200 materials per work order, missing one halts the line → operation-level readiness checks + PDA picking guidance
Feeders lose accuracy after repeated use, causing wrong parts → log each feeder's usage count and proactively verify at end of life
Consumer electronics require scan-to-query of the full chain → DataMatrix QR codes bind PCB / unit SNs for full-operation traceability
Pre-SET progress
SMT changeover time goes mainly into loading feeders and switching programs. SBK MES uses the SET-kitting approach: feeders are pre-SET off-line, an AGV delivers the whole set to the line side, and during changeover you just lift the whole feeder set onto the machine — time drops from 30 minutes to 10.
In the past, AOI was a silo — defects detected lived only on the AOI machine, and reviews meant exporting to Excel. SBK MES integrates AOI / X-Ray / ICT inspection data, standardizes defect codes, and feeds them back into SPC, the defect workflow, and responsible-operation and equipment analysis.

For electronics work orders with 200 materials each, readiness checks must be granular. SBK MES checks at the operation level: whether the materials each operation needs are in the line-side warehouse and whether the quantity is enough, validated in one click before starting — shortages trigger a replenishment task.
30+ customers, 200+ models/month — SET-kitted feeding + APS scheduling sharply reduces changeover loss
Low-volume high-mix + high reliability, with AOI + X-Ray + ICT three-check data fully archived
SMT + assembly + burn-in + packaging across operations, with unit SNs linked to PCB sub-SNs for traceability
Meets both consumer-electronics flexibility and automotive strong traceability, with dual IATF + AEC-Q compliance
