Aegis offers product movement control and tracking across the entire shop floor from assembly through test/repair/diagnostics and out through packout. The system enables detailed, real-time WIP monitoring via the web, route sequence validation, route logic, and product movement control based on quality trend, SPC, machine, or operator alarms.

WIP TRACKING

• Track and monitor pallet, panel, image, and unit movement throughout the process, test, repair, and packout in real-time.

• Track serialized products, batch processing, or a hybrid of batch in which units from a batch are found to have defects, and then are serialized for tracking through rework and onward.

• First Article Mode: Automate and failsafe the first-article test of a process before full production.

PAPERLESS VISUAL AID DELIVERY

• Deliver interactive, drill-down operator visuals, customized to each station in the Product and Process Definition Modules. Assure the proper revision is displayed at every station based only on serialization scan of the product.

• Issue instantaneous process deviations and document overrides to the factory from any web browser and target to specific revision jobs automatically.

ROUTE SEQUENCE ENFORCEMENT

• Alarm operators and stop process flow when a product has not followed the designated route sequence or skipped a route point.

• Guide and/or require re-routing based on quality conditions, machine alarms, operator alarms, trends, or process deviations.

MATERIALS SETUP VALIDITY ENFORCEMENT

• Alarm operators and/or halt conveyorized line movement into machines when the Aegis Materials Control System indicates an improper setup.

FULL PANEL AND PALLET SUPPORT

• Guide operators through the ID mapping of panel images to the panel ID for full traceability to a circuit level.

• Optional vision system integration for higher volume applications automates the mapping of relational IDs on a panelized product.

• Track the ID of  pallets of any kind as well as the product they carry.

PACKOUT SUPPORT

• Guide operators through the placement of appropriate units into shipping boxes to the appropriate customers and check validity.

• Preclude the packing of any units with outstanding defects or incomplete routes.

• Manage nested box scenarios.

• Complete jobs and print shipping labels.

100% ASSURED SERIALIZATION SCAN TECHNOLOGY

• Optional conveyor and machine integration hardware assures barcode acquisition at every critical point by stopping line flow until scan is confirmed as acquired.

CONVEYORIZED LINE CONTROL TECHNOLOGY

• Optional conveyor and machine integration hardware enables the Aegis systems to physically halt and release product flow based on the quality, route, and alarm environment of the product and process.
