Panasonic Upgrades Automation Solutions
A supplier of electronic assembly machinery, Panasonic Factory Automation (PFA, Elgin, IL) has introduced a new offering—Solutions. The primary goal of the program is to demonstrate the benefits of customers partnering with their original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).
"Solutions was developed to globally share methods to increase customer's profit, performance and possibilities," said John Worthylake, PFA solutions and development manager. "Insight from customer suggestions and challenges—coupled with Matsushita's own manufacturing experience—has successfully provided solutions that simultaneously increase throughput, decrease costs and maximize the full potential of PFA's products."
Specifically, Solutions offerings include enhancements (a white L.E.D. Fiducial Light kit and a wide angle PCB detection sensor upgrade); equipment maintenance; spare parts options (cost-saving reversible tape cutter blades, remanufactured placement head assemblies); tools and jigs and training.
