KIC Navigator Power - Process Optimization Software Description:

Reflow Oven Set Up for Lower Electricity Use - Improve Production Quality

The One-Best Process Set Up -- Automatically

KIC’s powerful Navigator™ software is a system that automatically determines the single best oven recipe for every product. Once the initial profile is run, the Navigator evaluates billions of combinations of conveyor speeds and setpoint temperatures in less than a minute, so operators no longer need to set search parameters.

You give the Navigator your profile specs and the Navigator presents the process set up that will produce a profile centered in the process window, with the lowest Process Window Index™ (PWI). With the Navigator, an operator with limited process knowledge can find the optimal profile every time.

Technology for Lower Electricity Use

Navigator Power selects the best oven recipe based on user selected criteria:

• Minimum electricity use
• Deep in spec profile
• Maximized throughput
• Minimized oven changeover time

Where do the energy savings come from?

• Most reflow ovens are set up without considerations of electricity use
• Reflow ovens tend to run too hot and too fast
• Software simulation identifies the oven recipe that will yield the lowest electricity use based on the above criteria

When will the electricity savings be realized?
