"Real time metrics and OEE monitoring"

In business for more than 30 years, Nautech operates a high-tech, automated factory in East Tamaki, Auckland. Nautech manufactures electronic circuit boards for many international companies and sectors such as automotive, marine, emergency services, aviation and military.

Nautech offers automated multiple SMT lines, automated optical and X-ray inspection, selective soldering machines, automated testing and a range of assembly robots.

“We manufacture hi-tech and high value electronic products and electro-mechanical assemblies, with a zero-defect policy. Every board has an ID barcode and AspectPL tracks every board through the process, monitoring throughput, defects and efficiency in real time.

Before we implemented AspectPL we had manual tracking processes in place like charts and spreadsheets. The problem was that we could only easily refer to non-current information – last month’s data. Now with AspectPL we have real time metrics and OEE monitoring.”
