1.1.3 Support with Active Feeder Pool (AFP)

Support with Active Feeder Pool (AFP)

The Active Feeder Pool (AFP) serves as a temporary warehouse for parking feeders in the presetup area

for reuse later on. Feeder racks are used as AFP hardware. In addition, docking stations with changeo

ver table can be used as AFP hardware.

AFP Hardware

▪ Feeder Racks

– The individual feeders are taken off the changeover table and parked in this feeder rack. Com

munication between the feeders and the system is established in the feeder rack. These feeder

racks are configured in ASM Setup Center in the Material reuse mode.

▪ Docking station

– If the docking station is operated in Signal material reuse mode, feeders can be parked on a

docked changeover table and the material reuse can be handled like in a feeder rack. The dock

ing station is switched into the appropriate mode via the Signal material reuse control barcode

in ASM Setup Center.

The feeder LED shows the status of reuse for the feeders parked in the AFP hardware.

Handling reusable materials

The user is well supported by the status LEDs on the feeders, the extensions in ASM Setup Center and

the combination with AFP hardware (feeder racks and docking stations).

The feeders with their LED shining green will be placed in the feeder rack for later use. See also "1.1.1

Material Reuse in Presetup Area" [ ➙ 128].

Feeder racks for setup preparation

If the changeover tables are to be prepared for a setup, SIPLACE Material Setup Assistant supports the

setup preparation through the feeder rack and the status LEDs of the feeders. When a setup and a lo

cation have been chosen, the status LEDs of the required feeders flash green. The status LEDs on all

not required feeders switch into the OFF state. Thus, the correct feeders can be easily found. The feed

ers that are flashing green can be set up on the relevant changeover table.

NOTICE

Available docking stations and feeder racks

For an optimum SIPLACE Material Setup Assistant workflow, there should be one to two dock

ing stations per presetup area and several feeder racks available.

NOTICE

Target track view

The Target track view dialog that is called via the menu bar Extras => Target track view shows

the track on the table to be set up onto which the just picked feeder needs to be placed.

1.2 Scope of Functions with Fixed Setup and Constant Tables

Scope of Functions with Fixed Setup and Constant Tables

SIPLACE Material Setup Assistant (MSA) with fixed setups and constant tables is supported; however,

the workflow needs to be adapted and the scope of functions of SIPLACE Material Setup Assistant

(MSA) is different. See chapter "6 Workflow with Fixed Setup and Constant Tables" [ ➙ 225] for a de

scription of the deviations in the workflow and the scope of functions.

Overview

In contrast to flexible family setups, fixed setups are installed once and reused several times without be

ing torn down in the meantime. Changeover tables for a fixed setup are usually "parked" near the line as

long as they are not in use. The material on these tables is not used elsewhere apart from a few excep

tions (e.g. the last present reel). As soon as the fixed setup is no longer in use, all changeover tables are

torn down and the material is returned to the warehouse.

Constant tables function in a similar way, with the additional option of combining flexible and constant

tables at the relevant locations. A constant table is installed once and reused several times. Usually, the

constant table is used in different setups. In a typical scenario, e.g., one side of the line is set up with

constant tables and the other side with flexible tables. As soon as the constant table is no longer in use,

it is torn down and the material is returned to the warehouse.

Features

▪ Changeover tables for fixed setups and constant tables are always linked to a line. They cannot be

used on a different line.

▪ Reusing material in the presetup area is not relevant as the constant tables are usually parked near

the line.

▪ Material for fixed setups and constant tables is usually not stored on the AFP hardware (feeder racks

or docking stations). After the production, these changeover tables are simply "parked" near the line

without being torn down.

▪ Planned fixed setups and constant tables cannot be used in the next but one setup (n+2 rule in flex

ible family setups). These changeover tables can only be used in directly successive setups; in most

cases, they are kept near the respective station.

1.3 Scope of Functions With ASM Material Manager

Scope of Functions With ASM Material Manager

ASM Material Manager is available in two versions.

ASM Material Manager - Full Version

With the full version, you perform the storage management with the ASM Material Manager. The material

flow in the factory is controlled totally and completely automatic.

▪ Material order via material demand lists.

▪ Automatic pick-up from the relevant storage equipment (e. g. SIPLACE Material Tower).

▪ Controlled transport of the material (via PDAs) into the pre-setup area and back.

ASM Material Manager for MSA

With the ASM Material Manager for MSA, you control the material flow in the factory yourself. Based on

the setup lists from ASM Setup Center, you trigger the order, the transport, and the handover of the ma

terial into the setup area. You can use the scan procedures Sort material and Record material to enter

the material in ASM Setup Center.

1.4 SIPLACE Material Setup Assistant Benefits

SIPLACE Material Setup Assistant Benefits

Reduction of material movement between warehouse and presetup area

Material demand lists are created in the Order Manager. These are automatically sent to the ASM Ma

terial Manager, in accordance with the production order. Warehouse picking is performed with the ASM

Material Manager.

▪ Only the material which is not already in the presetup area or at the relevant line will be picked from

the warehouse.

▪ Only the material which is not required anymore in the production schedule will be placed back in

the warehouse.

Reduction of presetup work due to reuse of materials

Material reuse in the presetup area reduces the setup work considerably. The setup work in the pre-set

up area and in the warehouse is reduced by each individual reuse of a material.

Efficient user guidance with status LED display on the feeders

The status LEDs of the SIPLACE Material Setup Assistant indicate the most important information for

the operator.

Fewer materials opened or sent back to warehouse

The reuse of materials means that material often remain in the presetup areas of the lines. This reduces

the number of opened materials in the warehouse.
