IPC CFX: enabling seamless
communication
IPC CFX (Connected Factory Exchange) is an open,
neutral, and secure standard designed to enable real
time, bidirectional communication between machines,
devices, and enterprise systems in a factory.
By integrating IPC CFX into the smart factory framework,
manufacturers can benefit from: enhanced visibility
of production processes; faster decision-making,
and better overall equipment effectiveness.
Our inspection-based process control tools,
coupled with IPC CFX, support the exchange of
critical data across the manufacturing floor. These
inspection systems generate real-time insights,
which are seamlessly communicated through the IPC
CFX standard to other machinery and systems. This
exchange of data ensures that the entire production
line operates in harmony. This, in turn, enables rapid
responses to deviations, which reduces downtime,
and optimizes production quality.
IPC HERMES:
facilitating intelligent logistics
IPC HERMES is another communication standard
that complements an Industry 4.0 transformation.
Focused on streamlining communication between
different machines in the electronics assembly line,
IPC HERMES ensures an efficient flow of production
materials and products, allowing for reduced lead
times, enhanced traceability, and minimal errors.
When integrated with our inspection-based process
control tools, IPC HERMES facilitates dynamic
adjustments to the assembly process based on inspection
results. For instance, if a Koh Young SPI or
AOI detects a defect, the information can be communicated
through IPC HERMES to other machines
downstream, triggering immediate adjustments to
rectify the issue. This level of intelligent communication
results in a production line that runs with
agility and adaptability, minimizing waste and maximizing
efficiency.
