Sat Nusapersada Chooses Siemens' Process Preparation Software to Boost NPI and SMT Line Efficiency

Siemens Digital Industries Software announced that Sat Nusapersada, one of the largest Electronics Manufacturing Services (EMS) providers in Indonesia, has adopted its Process Preparation software to reduce its timescale for New Product Introduction (NPI) of printed circuit board assemblies and improve the efficiency of its Surface Mount Technology production lines by 23%.
 
Founded in 1990, Sat Nusapersada is the first high-tech EMS listed on the Indonesia stock exchange and provides trusted services for large enterprise customers, including Asus, Xiaomi, Murata and Epson. Driven by customer demand and business growth, Sat Nusapersada has expanded its surface mount technology (SMT) lines to 24. With the increase of production capacity and RFQ per month, Nusapersada needed to reduce manual work, particularly during New Product Introduction (NPI).
 
Following an extensive evaluation, Sat Nusapersada implemented the Process Preparation software from Siemens, which enables customers to keep assembly, test and inspection data up to date in a single environment for all stages of the surface mount technology (SMT) manufacturing process–dramatically reducing the need for manual, error-prone updates, which can cause consistency and reliability issues.

“We have achieved significant increases to our production capacity with the introduction of Siemens’ Process Preparation which, when combined with decreases in manual rework, we’re able to better serve our customers and bring them their critical electronics in the timescales that today’s industry demand,” said Stanly Rocky, asst general manager of Public Relations, Sat Nusapersada.

After implementation, Sat Nusapersada has benefited from a decrease in time to gather all the incoming data for projects by 70% and has improved line efficiency by 23%. Use of Siemens Process Preparation has also helped Sat Nusapersada to reduce SMT programming task time by 21% (line configuration setup, common feeder, data output/transfer, move existing product between lines of different equipment brands). The design time for solder stencils was reduced by 30%, by leveraging the learning libraries that automatically set the correct aperture shape and size to new footprints.
 
“it’s great to see the benefits that Sat Nusapersada have gained from implementation of Siemens’ Process Preparation and how it is benefitting from improved efficiency in its SMT production lines,” said Alex Teo, managing director and vice president, South East Asia, Siemens Digital Industries Software. “Our success is the region is centered on enabling our customers to not only innovate their own products, but to scale up the production lines for an increased global demand for electronics.”
