Lorraine,
We have found Mydata to be useful in the Low Volume Hi Mix environment.
But, strips of components will still be a challenge as some amount of leader
will be needed.

Subject: [TN] Low Volume High Mix


I've been asked to look at options for Surface Mount Placement equipment
which is geared towards low-volume, high-mix.  In common with a lot of
companies, we are seeing a shift in our market towards high tech, low
volume work and we need to assess how best to meet that requirement.
The ability to use strips of components, and/or loose components as well
as the more traditional reels is essential.  Most of the SMT equipment
in the market is targeted towards high volume, so I would welcome any
suggestions.

Thanks in advance,

Lorraine
