AUSTIN, TX – Cetec ERP is pleased to announce that Genie Electronics, a subcontract manufacturing company with a diverse portfolio in the automotive, medical and commercial industries, has implemented the Cetec ERP comprehensive enterprise resource planning system. Since the implementation, Genie Electronics has significantly enhanced its operational efficiency and customer service capabilities.
Founded in 1972, Genie Electronics prides itself on its commitment to honesty, quality, and exceptional customer service. "We dot the i's and cross the t's," says Don Lookingbill, Planning Manager at Genie Electronics. "From the top of the quote, we ensure transparency and reliability, building to last with no substitutions without prior approval."
Genie Electronics was seeking a more cost-effective and functional ERP solution as its previous system's costs and lack of updates became prohibitive.

Key Benefits of Cetec ERP Implementation:
Genie Electronics plans to fully equip the shop floor with tablets, further integrating the CRM module, and exploring the ECO module. Additionally, the company aims to enhance quality control by diving deeper into non-conformance reports (NCRs) and corrective action reports (CARs), and recording inspection data.
Genie Electronics has praised the support provided by Cetec ERP. "We usually get a response within an hour, not just an automatic notification but someone actively looking into the issue," says Lookingbill. The forum and help system have also been valuable resources for the Genie team.

KREUZWERTHEIM, GERMANY – The most common soldering defects in wave soldering processes are errors due to poor wetting, especially if the assembly or the soldering mask layout is demanding. Depending on the mask thickness and size of the cut-outs, reliable wetting of all solder joints is not always guaranteed. In addition, small distances between the covered components and the pins of the components to be soldered can become a challenge.
Smart functions such as the automatic nozzle height adjustment of the SEHO MWS 2300 are an innovative solution for such applications. The height of the solder nozzles can be adjusted individually and software- controlled in order to always have the optimum distance between the PCB and the solder nozzle, depending on the product. Up to 16 different sections of an assembly can be processed with an individual nozzle height. This makes the entire process independent of the workpiece carrier or assembly design without affecting the cycle time. All solder joints can be reliably wetted, significantly reducing the risk of soldering defects.
As a result, the automatic nozzle height adjustment ensures additional process reliability and an improvement in product quality. At the same time, it offers maximum flexibility and thus ensures the future viability of the wave soldering system with regard to new applications.
