Minimum changeover on SMT, new-product ramp protected.

High SKU counts, sequence-dependent SMT setups and single-sourced parts that move to allocation between releases make every plan fragile. Zentio holds a live model of every line, feeder and approved alternate, sequencing for minimum changeover while it reschedules around shortages and protects the line slots each new-product ramp depends on.

[01] Impact
SMT line OEE
22%

Higher OEE on SMT lines from minimum-changeover batching that cuts feeder swaps and reflow setup time.

Unplanned changeovers
70%

Fewer unplanned changeovers as predictive sequencing replaces manual run ordering.

New-product ramp
25%

Faster new-product ramp through scheduling that reserves launch slots and rebalances mainstream load.

[02] Challenges & solutions
Challenges
Sequence-dependent SMT setups

High board mix drives constant feeder swaps and reflow setup changes, so hand-ordered runs lose hours of line time to changeover that a tighter sequence would recover.

Component availability swings

Single-sourced parts move to allocation without warning, stranding work orders that were schedulable a shift earlier.

New-product ramp under pressure

Each launch needs clean line slots and certified operators while mainstream volume still has to ship on time.

How Zentio helps
Changeover-minimised batching

Zentio groups runs by feeder load and setup similarity to recover hours of SMT line time every week.

Substitute-aware replanning

The twin holds every approved alternate and reschedules the moment a reel slips into allocation.

Launch-aware sequencing

Ramp slots and operator certifications are reserved up front, so new lines start on schedule and mainstream volume keeps shipping.
