The machine itself does the verification, eliminating the need to select separate setup data. - Interlock function
Any problems or lapses in verification will stop the machine. - Navigation function
A navigation function to make the verification process more readily understandable.
With the support stations, offline feeder cart setup is possible even outside of the manufacturing floor.
- Two types of Support Stations are available.

Changeover ability - Feeder setup navigator option
It is a support tool to navigate efficient setup procedure. The tool factors in the amount of time it takes to perform and complete setup operations when estimating the time required for production and providing the operator with setup instructions.
This will visualize and streamline setup operations during setup for a production line.

Operating rate improvement - Parts supply navigator option
A component supply support tool that navigates efficient component supply priorities. It considers the time left until component run-out and efficient path of operator movement to send component supply instructions to each operator. This achieves more efficient component supply.

*PanaCIM is required to have operators in charge of supplying components to multiple production lines.
PCB information communication function
Information of mark recognitions done on first NPM machine in line is passed on to downstream NPM machines.
Which can reduce cycle time utilizing the transferred information.

Data Creation System - NPM-DGS (Model No.NM-EJS9A)
This is a software package that provides integrated management of component library and PCB data, as well as production data that maximizes mounting lines with high-performance and optimization algorithms.
*1:A computer must be purchased separately.
*2:NPM-DGS has two management functions of floor and line level.

Data Creation System - Offline Camera (option)
Component data can be created offline even while the machine is in operation.
Use the line camera to create component data.
Lighting conditions and recognition speed can be confirmed in advance, so it contributes to the improvement of productivity and quality.
Offline Camera Unit
Data Creation System - DGS Automation (option)
Automated manual routine tasks reduce operation errors and data creation time.
Manual routine tasks can be automated.
By collaborating with the customer system, the routine tasks for creating data can be reduced, so it contributes to a significant reduction in production preparation time.
It also includes the function to automatically correct the coordinates and angle of the mounting point (Virtual AOI).

Data Creation System - Optimization of setup (option)
In production involving multiple models, setup workloads are taken into account and optimized.
For more than one PCB sharing common component placement, multiple setups may be required due to a shortage of suppy units.
In order to reduce the required setup workloads in such a case, this option divides PCBs into similar component placement groups, selects a table (s) for setup and thus automates component placement operation.
It contributes to improving setup performance and reducing production preparation time for customer manufacturing various kinds of products in small quantities.

Quality improvement - Quality information viewer
This is software designed to support a grasp of changing points and analysis of defect factors through the display of quality-related information (e.g., feeder positions used, recognition offset values and parts data) per PCB or placement point. In case of our inspection head introduced, the defect locations can be displayed in association with quality-related information
![Quality information viewer](/content/data/FA/pictures/npm_d3_soft16_e.jpg)
Quality information viewer window
Example of use of quality information viewer
Identifies a feeder used for mounting of defect circuit boards. And if, for example, you have many misalignments after splicing, the defect factors can be assumed to be due to;- splicing errors (pitch deviation is revealed by recognition offset values)
- changes in component shape (wrong reel lots or venders)
