Manufacturing Execution System
With experience in electronics manufacturing based on the Japanese methodology of Kanban and JIT production, MQuest has developed the AUTOMOUNT MACHINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (AMMS) for the electronics PCBA industry. The system has helped global manufacturers like Sony, Panasonic, and Philips manufacture their PCB boards. Major PCBA vendors in Asia have also relied on the technology to meet the high mix, low volume production requirements prevalent today. The system has built in intelligence to learn and adapt the manufacturing parameters with actual production data.
AMMS is a powerful real time management system for the electronics manufacturing operation. It gives a strong advantage with online information, real time accuracy, transparency and flexibility of operation over the competitors.

AMMS is a powerful real time management system for the electronics manufacturing operation. It gives a strong advantage with online information, real time accuracy, transparency and flexibility of operation over the competitors.
The AMMS software suite of programs manages the production floor right from production planning, material control to machine monitoring. It features Production Scheduling, Parts Control, Machine Monitoring and Production Planning as the core modules.
Structured to adapt to the traditional line and cell concept of equipment on the production floor, the system supports multiple equipment lines utilizing numerous placement machines from various OEM vendors.
Maximizes equipment utilization, tracking and traceability, improves process throughput, reduces defects, scrap and rework of boards and procurement of excess materials.
Benefits of AMMS
Increases Production Planning Efficiency
Increases Productivity and Quality
Decreases Manpower Cost
Decreases Material and Preparation Cost
This system has four major operations such as
Parts control System
We also design and provide immigration gates that give maximum convenience and security. These automated gates are used to verify the passport holder’s identity by biometric and face recognition which are taken at the time of entry.Â
Advanced Production Scheduler
The Advanced Production Scheduler enables production planner to accurately allocate jobs to the production lines easily. With the actual production status of each production lines visible at the click of a mouse, planners will be able to optimize every resource, and thereby reducing idling time. At the same time, it will now be possible to inform customers of the delivery date almost instantly and with confidence of accuracy.
Benefits
Production schedule and capacity reports
Efficient job allocation method to maximize machine time
Manufacturing lead time reduction
Real time production status feedback
Easy drag and drop planning with high planning accuracy
Optimize throughput and production planning
Flexible job adjustments
1 day lot production
Accuracy of schedule planning
Visible schedule display
Material / Parts Control
With material control, the manufacturers are able to track and trace every single component used during manufacturing. It will be able to locate every single reel of component in the manufacturing floor and also linked to the production lot it has been used on.
When receiving parts from suppliers, each reel is uniquely tracked. This allow a full visibility of the parts origin.
Benefits
Reduce part searching time to maximize productivity
Reduce excess material on the production floor
Real time inventory, possible to achieve at least 98% accuracy
Advance alert of parts exhaust to reduce machine down time
Able to forecast and recommend safety stock to minimize line material shortage
Parts traceability
Machine Monitoring
Machine Monitoring help production improve quality and machine utilization rate. The early part exhaust warning system set alert timing so that parts can be prepared before part exhaust. This ensure that production information are collected from each machine. Maintenance can be planned as each parts on the machine is tracked. Tool life can be tracked via running hours, or the number of parts placed.
Benefits
Real time machine communication
Standard procedure for model change and part exhaust
Eliminate parts mis mount
Accurate job finish time
Early part exhaust warning
Detailed machine stop history
Detailed pickup error history
Tool life usage monitoring
Production / Monitoring Control
Production Management module enables the management team to have an overview of the entire manufacturing plant with the click of a mouse. Productivity information are consolidate and displayed in real time. Detailed information of each process can be monitored by drilling down. Information is available online and therefore, managers can also viewed them over the internet.
Benefits
Online monitoring of total SMT production facilities by production lines and machines
Simple drill down to view detailed machine performance and job status
Can be viewed from remote site, facilitates multi plant and subcon operation
Consolidated capacity and machine availability information
Graphical display and ease of use
