Frequent Product Changeovers
Prepare the next product while production continues
High-mix, low-volume production requires frequent product changes on the same line. If data preparation, accessory setup, and sequence checks only begin during changeover, preparation work becomes concentrated on site.
Does this situation sound familiar?
A line makes product A in the morning and B in the afternoon. While A is running, engineers can prepare B's plan offline for the corresponding insertion machine.
How MachinePilot helps
Using digital models and data for the actual equipment, MachinePilot supports checking product positions, tool selection, pickup poses, and operation sequence, with simulation to inspect motion and interference.
Keep the current product running
Prepare the next product offline
Review configuration and operation planning
Complete on-site checks at changeover
Expected benefits
Run offline preparation alongside production. Identify the next product's configuration and adjustment needs early, giving changeover checks a clearer basis.
What to prepare
The next product and component data, target machine model, available tools and feeders, and on-site configuration conditions.
Conditions and on-site handoff
This applies to the corresponding insertion station. Local process conditions, including vision and machining parameters, still need checking on the machine.
