Printed circuit boards (PCBs) are the heart of modern electronic devices. These sophisticated circuit boards support our current smart life. From smartphones and computers to cars and medical devices, PCBs enable these complex devices to have efficient electrical connections and functional implementations.
Because of its high integration and high precision requirements, accurate management of PCB production process becomes crucial in the field of electronic manufacturing.
Customer needs and challenges
A PCB manufacturer has proposed to use the recipe management system (RMS) as a centralized database to improve the PCB production process through real-time data collection and analysis.
Solution provider uses Moxa industrial computers as machine-to-machine (M2M) gateways to improve PCB production yields through efficient real-time M2M communication.
System Requirements
◎ Connect various devices to a centralized management system
◎ High-speed and low-power computing to achieve real-time data processing
◎ Compact appearance, easy to install, convenient storage upgrade
Moxa Solution
The PCB manufacturer wanted to build a system integrated with an edge gateway to enhance the industrial Internet capabilities of its factory. Due to the limited space in the existing control cabinet, the solution provider ultimately chose Moxa's DRP-A100-E4 compact DIN-rail computer to achieve efficient data collection and utilization, better coordinate different processes, and improve production efficiency.
Relying on Moxa's Configure-to-Order Service (CTOS), solution providers can quickly transform the DRP-A100-E4 DIN-rail computer into a machine equipped with versatile Linux system software, large-capacity DDR4 memory, and replaceable CFast storage card to serve as a machine-to-machine (M2M) gateway to establish efficient M2M communications.
