This solution brief introduces how ADLINK’s 6U CompactPCI solution helped a global assembly automation manufacturer develop its cutting-edge surface mount technology (SMT) machines. SMT has been the most important tool in modern printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing. In order to meet ever increasing requirements for accuracy, efficiency, and flexibility imposed on its next-generation assembly equipment, the leading SMT manufacturer needed to overcome a series of challenges for the underlying computer system by maximizing performance without sacrificing reliability, accommodating varying levels of customization, and equally importantly, securing broad, long-range support.
As the manufacturer’s trusted, long-standing partner with a stellar track record of providing solutions with field-proven performance and reliability, ADLINK took the fast-to-market and cost-effective modified commercial-off-the-shelf (MCOTS) approach to address the customer’s unique needs with a tailored variant based on its cPCI-6636 6U CompactPCI processor blade. The computing solution provided the required processing resources while simultaneously withstanding harsh environmental conditions in factories and fulfilling all demands for serviceability, scalability, and cost-effectiveness. With ADLINK’s best-of-class CompactPCI technology and superior local support, the SMT manufacturer realized its critical goals for this project, beginning with achieving a top-quality assembly and production solution for its clients worldwide.
