Easy setup. Low Maintenance.
Consumer demand is driving automakers to continuously produce safer and more efficient
products. As a result of this automakers are constantly striving to achieve a target of
zero defective parts in every batch produced. This goal can only be achieved by putting
in place a system capable of total traceability, a system capable of back tracing every
step of the manufacturing process, specifically the quality assurance and specification
data.
Currently, computers are key for transferring data from the manufacturing site to the
main server. This requires a major investment of time, effort and resources to implement
as they need to integrate various quality inspection devices such as Vision, Profile and
Measurement Sensor’s data as well as RFID information. For this, they need an IT
specialist to work on the required software and an instrumentation specialist to oversee
the necessary equipment. The biggest challenge is not just the in-depth understanding
required for integration and maintenance, but also the cooperation needed between the
two departments. Other elements which must be considered are software upgrades,
antivirus and developments in hardware.

With the Omron SYSMAC platform, we offer seamless integration with your main server
without needing to worry about the various points of integration with computers. SYSMAC
can enable the easy integration, control of Vision and Smart Measuring Sensors along
with Temperature Controllers, RFID code readers and 3rd-party devices such as Nut
Runners. All of this results in easier and lower maintenance which can be done remotely,
ultimately reducing the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
Improved Quality & Parts Tracking
SYSMAC allows seamless integration with Vision Measuring Systems, enabling the user to
save not only inspection results but also images of each component to the main database
server without any additional hardware or software.

Meeting Industry Needs for SECS/GEM Protocol & Serial
Number Verification
Semi-conductor manufacturers are required to meet the standards set by the SEMI
(Semiconductor Equipment and Materials International) organisation, and those standards
are known as SECS (SEMI Equipment Communications Standard) /GEM (Generic Equipment
Model).
The Omron NJ series MAC is the first in the market to support the SECS/GEM protocol, this
creates the opportunity for manufacturers and OEMs alike, to design new machines based
on Omron's SYSMAC solution to conform to industry standards. The Omron SYSMAC solution
allows easy integration with motion control, HMI, safety, sensors, quality inspection
(vision system) while also implementing traceability and serial number verification with
the machine.
The diagram below shows a typical example of how the SYSMAC solution, using NJ with an FH
Series Vision System performing an inspection with traceability without the need for a
PC.

Complete Dataset for Seamless Tracking
With increasing demands on food safety and 'track and trace' in pharmaceutical products,
traceability combined with big data is becoming an important function in modern
production today. Quality improvements to products through vision inspection and expiry
date extraction verification with database can also be achieved with the use of
traceability. Improvements on productivity can also be made by monitoring production
status and data via mobile devices from anywhere in the world with database
connectivity. Downtime can be reduced while troubleshooting and simple production
analysis can be made on the database server instead of a gateway PC.
With Omron's traceability solutions you can achieve quality improvements and enjoy a
peace of mind for you and your customers.
