Smart Electronics Manufacturing
Smart manufacturing for electronics transforms your factory, streamlining operations to tackle supply chain uncertainties and resource constraints. Boost efficiency, improve quality, and enhance predictability to reduce costs and lead times while ensuring on-time delivery.
What is smart manufacturing for electronics?
Smart manufacturing digitally integrates electronics production by connecting design, factory processes, and material flow to streamline operations. This boosts efficiency, reduces costs, and improves quality throughout the production lifecycle. Stay agile and competitive in the fast-paced electronics industry by quickly adapting to market shifts.
Accelerate electronics manufacturing
Manufacturers must adapt quickly to market and consumer demands. Digital solutions and low-code platforms help streamline processes, reduce time-to-market and cut costs. Learn how these technologies enable agile responses to industry trends and drive innovation in the fast-paced electronics sector.
Quality delivery performance and more
"Our mission is 100% quality, 100% delivery performance and 100% waste-free," says Bernd Schmid, plant manager at Siemens MF-K. "That means we want to manufacture our products with as few resources as possible." (Siemens MF-K)
Trends reshape the industry
“The only solution was digitalization,” says Franco Oliaro, CEO of ROJ. “Quality and speed, that is the challenge. The world is moving to extreme customization. For mass customization, you definitely need digitalization.” (ROJ)
Saved in production costs

Streamline electronics manufacturing processes
From electronics (PCB) and mechanical design to advanced manufacturing flows, accelerate your operations by leveraging three paths of digital transformation.
Optimized product layout leverages digital modeling to design and refine factory environments, maximizing efficiency and resource utilization. This approach enables virtual testing of different configurations to:
- Optimize use of factory space
- Reduce manual operations
- Lower energy consumption
- Increase capital resource utilization
- Simulate new production conditions
Integrated processing plan is a comprehensive approach to manufacturing process management that streamlines the authoring, analysis and communication of assembly procedures across the entire enterprise. Key benefits include:
- Standardization of assembly processes across multiple plants
- Creation of detailed work instructions
- Performance of time analysis and production line balancing
- Programming of various production lines (SMT, THT, inspection, test)
- Efficient integration of planning and production phases
Real-time visibility provides comprehensive, instantaneous oversight and control of global manufacturing operations. This system integrates intelligent production technologies to:
- Track production in real-time across multiple facilities
- Deliver prompt notifications of arising issues
- Enhance planning and delivery of diverse products
- Identify and address problems, correlations and trends early
- Optimize material flow and reduce waste
Improve electronics manufacturing
Reduction new product introduction
Using Valor Process Preparation software and creating a comprehensive digital twin for each process step, ROJ reduced their new product introduction time by over 40 percent through fast setup and simple process preparation.

Accelerated stencil preparation
Using Valor Process Preparation software speed up your stencil data generation. This, coupled with a 10% faster SMT process and more accurate BOM quotes, enabled BMK to handle increased NPI/ECO projects efficiently. (BMK)
Reduced costs of defects
Implementing Opcenter and Valor software enables closed-loop quality control for Scanfil, improving productivity by over 10%, increasing speed by 40% and enhancing setup changeovers in high-mix, low-volume production. (Scanfil)
Siemens Rastatt
Using AOI false call reduction software increases first pass yield by 42 percent
Company:Siemens Rastatt
Industry:Electronics, Semiconductor devices
Location:Rastatt, Germany
Siemens Software:Opcenter APS, Opcenter Intelligence for On Premises
One of the big advantages of Opcenter AOI FCR is that it is a SaaS solution that significantly reduces the effort on our side. It was completely ready to be integrated into our AOI machines. It took less than 12 weeks to go from the first discussions to the start of commissioning. Twelve weeks later we started the operation phase successfully.
