Below is a demonstration of a few of the eFlex Assembly capabilities. With the eFlex Assembly Process Configuration Tool, it is possible to perform all of the functions described below within a few hours (offline) without shutting down the current assembly production. Once you are satisfied with your assembly process changes, you can stop your assembly process and send the configuration changes to the affected stations and make the required mechanical changes. The eFlex Assembly Process Configuration Tool provides all the functionality you will need to complete this ‘time and money consuming task’ within hours using your skilled tradesmen and engineers. Please note, the information provided below is not a complete demo. You can request a live demo to see all of the capabilities and features by completing this form.

Real-Time Tracking & Reporting

We achieve real-time agility for your assembly system. With just a few clicks, you can get the most accurate real-time assembly process analysis done for you, while also being able to change or rearrange the manufacturing process without recoding the controls system or temporarily idling assembly production. It even performs the statistical process improvement and engineering analysis for you.

New Model Introduction

With the eFlex Assembly Model Assembly Management Tool, you can program and re-program up to 200 models of your product. Using the eFlex Assembly’s Task Configuration Tool you can automatically change the manufacturing process depending on which model is in production, all without reprogramming the control system or halting production.

Managing model variation in production operations presents a significant challenge, adding new models to a assembly process is made easy with this tool. eFlex Assembly’s Model Assembly Management Tool allows you to copy an existing similar model with all of its attributes, rename it and then change the attributes that are different for that new model, saving you significant time and reducing assembly process errors associated with new model introductions.

Re-programming the numerous programmable logic controllers used on an assembly line is a tedious job requiring a specific skill set that is not always available at the production site when it’s needed. An activity like a new model introduction or a production line optimization can take man-months of re-programming and testing all of the PLCs in the assembly line, along with several man-days to re-validate the process changes. 

Assembly Task Configuration

The eFlex Assembly process management toolkit for assembly operations is designed for stakeholders and managers of production operations to help them quickly and accurately balance their manufacturing assembly lines with full line Error Proofing as well as the ability to easily add, delete, move and assign assembly tasks to any station in the production line.

The eFlex Assembly Process Configuration Tool provides a tree view of the task configuration for the PLC-controlled stations in your production assembly line, along with model and management of all production assembly line activities. You can use the Task Configuration Tool for more than one type of model of your product, management of production line activities including Takt time changes, tool bypassing and manufacturing line balancing.
