Stop Waiting for Parts.
What if your SMT line could continue production even when a feeder is running out of material?
In high-mix manufacturing, maintaining component availability is a constant challenge. Operators must react quickly to low component levels, prepare replacement feeders, and avoid unexpected production interruptions.
💡 Yamaha's Alternate Parts Free Set helps automate this process.
When a component reaches a predefined warning level, the system can automatically create an alternate parts setting for a compatible feeder installed in an available position. When the original feeder becomes empty, the machine can continue picking from the alternate feeder, helping to maintain production continuity. The purpose of the function is to allow parts supply without stopping the machine.
Why does it matter?
✅ Reduced production interruptions
✅ Improved feeder management
✅ Faster operator response
✅ Better material availability
✅ Greater manufacturing flexibility
Smart factories are not only about speed.
They are about keeping production moving when unexpected situations occur.
