| Do anyone know of any feeder maintenance programs, | software, etc.? We carry over 1000 Fuji feeders and | would like know what the standard is to maintain these. | Any suggestions would be helpful. | Thanks, | Reggie Aquino *** Warning Blatant Vendor Advertising Follows *** Just thought I'd let you that Panasonic offers an automated system for tracking, maintenance logging, inventory management, and automatic flagging of feeders requiring maintenance. When the operator loads/mounts the feeder onto the machine or removes it during an exhaust/new setup using the PanaCIM CVT barcode scanner they are informed that the feeder should be taken to maintenance. Maintenance can be automatically scheduled based on the number of components fed from each feeder. SPC charts of the pickup errors from each feeder can also be created and updated automatically. Each feeder is automatically tracked throughout the facility and spot inventory reports can be run at anytime. This product was announced at Nepcon West last year and is installed and operational in factories world-wide. Please visit our WEB site and/or feel free to contact me directly for more information. Thanks Steve Schwarz PanaCIM Software Development Manager p.s. Our Training Group also offers courses, manuals, video tapes and CD-ROM instruction of feeder maintenance operations for Panasert feeders.
