The new functionality increases production efficiency and allows each shift to achieve consistent productivity by alleviating reliance on the diagnostic skills of the production team.
The self-analytical function, which operates continuously throughout the assembly process, uses data from online inspection systems and generates clear instructions for operators to take corrective action. The system also displays the effects of improvements on the YSUP Dashboard monitor to keep production teams informed of progress. The underlying platform is based on statistical techniques and can be expanded with other analytical tools.
Forum attendees learned how the software identifies the likely causes of logged exceptions in near real-time using analytical methods that include flow analysis, error code diagnostics, status check data diagnostics, and image recognition diagnostics. Its features include automatic placement error analysis, which allows production staff to see the time and circumstances of any placement error, view its exact location, and visualize corrective actions.
The new Dashboard is fully integrated with Yamaha's YSUP smart factory software, which provides production support tools for planning, implementing, measuring, and improving manufacturing on surface-mount assembly lines. These tools include applications for scheduling production, creating work orders, scheduling online equipment, managing components, monitoring production status, ensuring traceability, predicting outcomes, and reviewing workflows.
Among the new features added in the latest software versions, YSUP-MI improves material management on assembly lines, and YSUP-LINK connects production equipment to company systems using industry-standard protocols. Additionally, the YSUP-OC operations control system generates work instructions, manages warnings and error notifications, and helps operators classify and prioritize their tasks.
The integrated graphical user interface (GUI) ensures intuitive operation with easy access to settings and production status information presented in clear tables and graphs. The YSUP Dashboard, now with automatic analysis as explained in detail at the Productronica Forum, also includes placement analysis, accuracy analysis, print analysis, and real-time production monitoring.
The new YSUP Dashboard with automatic analytics takes users directly to the root causes of defects identified by online inspection.
