Electronics and appliance assembly

Nisthora for electronics and appliance assembly.

SMT lines and final assembly run fast and produce a lot of data. Nisthora turns it into live OEE per line and per station, with every stop and its reason.

The challenge

What gets in the way.

Fast lines, short stops

Feeder errors and nozzle changes stop a line for seconds at a time, many times a shift.

Many product variants

Model changes are frequent on mixed lines.

Test failures

Rejects at test need to be traced back to the step that caused them.

On your shop floor

What Nisthora connects to and measures.

Machines

  • Pick-and-place machines
  • Reflow ovens
  • Screen printers
  • AOI and test stations
  • Assembly and screwing stations
  • Packing

Readings

  • Boards or units completed
  • Run / stop signal
  • Test pass and fail
  • Oven zone temperatures
  • Feeder errors
  • Station cycle time

Typical stop reasons

  • Feeder change
  • Model changeover
  • Component shortage
  • Test failure
  • Nozzle or head fault
  • Waiting for kit

These are common examples. Each plant names its own machines and lines, and sets up its own stop reasons, in the words its team uses.

Traceability

Serial for finished units

Finished units carry serial numbers, and component lots matter for recalls. Nisthora traces production by batch; talk to us about per-unit serial tracking for your line.

A day with Nisthora

An appliance assembly line shows each station's cycle time live. The slowest station, the bottleneck, is visible on the board, and the line's OEE shows the effect of every fix the team makes to it.

Example for illustration.

How Nisthora helps

Built for plants like yours.

Live OEE per line

Availability, performance and quality for every line, live.

Tap-only machine panel

Operators press Start and Stop, and tap a picture for the stop reason.

Downtime Pareto

The few stop reasons that cost the most, sorted for you.

Maintenance forecast

Which line needs maintenance in the next 30 days, and why.

Anomaly detection

Flags readings that look unusual for that line.

Alerts

Limits on any reading, sent in-app, by email, SMS, push or webhook.

Root cause and fishbone

Find why a problem keeps coming back, and prove the fix.

Works with your PLCs

OPC UA, Modbus, Siemens S7, EtherNet/IP, MQTT and HTTP.
