Cogiscan Inc., the leading Track, Trace and Control (TTC) solutions provider for the electronics manufacturing industry, together with Juki, has provided VIP-VIRANT Group with a complete TTC solution for its new assembly line.
VIP-VIRANT Group’s new fully integrated assembly line consists of JUKI loaders, transport systems and linked repairing stations.
