“Our team is especially proud of this award. It confirms that the SIPLACE SX is the right answer to the electronics manufacturing industry’s current and future requirements. The SIPLACE SX with its capacity-on-demand concept combines innovations in hardware, software and services and sets a major milestone on the path to high-mix build-to-order production in the electronics industry. The award confirms our strategy to focus our development activities on highly flexible BTO concepts,” said Ray Bruce, Vice President Customer Relationship Management on the global SIPLACE team. “We are one of very few equipment manufacturers who have won the Global Technology Award repeatedly. This is an impressive confirmation of our innovative strengths and our technological leadership in the placement solutions field.”
Interchangeable SX gantries make performance scaling easy. The SIPLACE SX, the SIPLACE MultiStar CPP head and flexible services such as SIPLACE Rent-a-Gantry, all of which are being premiered at this year’s Productronica, deliver unprecedented line scalability and offer electronics manufacturers an unprecedented amount of freedom to organize their production processes in an order-oriented manner. The SIPLACE SX features unique exchangeable gantries, which can be installed or uninstalled by a single person in less than 30 minutes. Thanks to these gantries, users can increase or decrease the placement capacity of their SMT lines and shift performance between lines in accordance with their specific order requirements. Since the SX gantries calibrate themselves and the software recognizes them automatically and adjusts the placement programs accordingly, adapting one's production to short term order fluctuations or introducing new products is now easier and faster than ever before.
