Another software provider for MSL/MSD Management is Valor's vManage Software MES system.... is scalable so can implement just MSD Management if this is all you need. Can be implemented to even stop SMT equipment and warn operators in real time when

MSL is used for components (and possibly bare pcbs) that are going to go through a reflow oven process in the future. In most cases, populated pcb assemblies will not be going through the reflow oven process again. Therefore, it is not necessary to

Another software solution for auto tracking is Humitel made by a company called Accuassembly. Our company has used them for years with success. It is now a company wide standard. http://www.accuassembly.com/humitel/index.shtml

We have used the Cogiscan system successfully here for 3 years or so now I think its been. I couldn't possibly imagine tracking MSL's on a lot of parts by hand... and being able to trust your numbers. This software will track everything for you and a

When considering MSD issues two factors really need to be focused on; first, environmental control of the individual subject component/s during storage and second, monitoring of the packages out of the controlled environment. It's important that eac

We have seen this same defect. Led's not blinking during test and some tops popping off. Ended up being an msd problem. most of the lite-on components are msl level 4-6. We now bake and track them no problems seen in a while.

The 2 most common approaches for MSD Tracking and Control on the factory floor are: 1) Manual paper-based procedures (Example: Log Sheet or Label that the operator must fill out and pay attention to) - or - 2) Software-based tracking system (Example

Thank you all for your feedback. While the new smart reel towers are the ideal, we simply cannot afford them or better pnp equipment at this time. However for the short term, probably putting colored stickers on the reel edge folded over so it is vis
