The challenge from BMK Group, Augsburg, Germany

Doubling your placement performance with the capacity-on-demand gantry

SIPLACE Challenge

“Dr. Sigl, how do you react to fluctuating order volumes?”

“This is something we constantly have to struggle with: When our order volume goes up, our customers expect a flexible solution yesterday. We cannot afford to delay our customers until we have set up a new placement line. That’s why we want SIPLACE to help us find a solution.”

Our challenge: Can the SIPLACE team double the performance of a SIPLACE SX without having to reconfigure the line?

SIPLACE Solution

The SIPLACE SX is the only placement platform on the market that was designed for flexible performance adjustment capabilities. SIPLACE achieves this with the SX gantries, which can be installed or de-installed in just a few minutes. This lets you increase or decrease the performance of a line without having to reconfigure it or change its floor space requirements. And since SX gantries can also be rented from SIPLACE for short periods of time, electronics manufacturers can increase and again decrease their capacity at short notice. This provides them with additional liquidity, because they don’t have to invest in equipment that is unused for long periods of time.

In short: The SIPLACE SX with its capacity-on-demand capabilities is the first placement platform for a “breathing” electronics production.
