PGMA Guided Manual Assembly Machine
PGMA – Panasonic Guided Manual Assembly helps to enhance manual assembly
PGMA
GuidanceEnforcementKey Values Increase operator’s efficiencyGet the assembly more reliableImprove product quality by higher yield. TraceabilityMaterial ManagementFeaturesCentral storage of work flows and instructionsSharing and accumulate knowledge &
know-howAvoid errors and increase motivationCost saving by reducing error factor. Connection to MES and/or ERP systemProvide “just-in-time” required materials automaticallyManual assembly included in the reporting loopCost saving by more efficient production and material planning. Typical use-cases for PGMA to guide & enhance are: Manual THT insertionManual mechanical assemblySemiautomatic screw & nut mounting with and without torque control. Manual visual inspectionSemiautomatic testing and/or measurement. Manual product packing and labelling incl. weight control (optional)Training for any manual assembly & activityThe ROI (return of invest) period for PGMA implementation is typically much less than one year due to reduction of failures and mistakes, speeding up the assembly process and finally increase of user‘s motivation.
Key Features
ensure an effective “zero-defect strategy”
share knowhow by organizing work instruction and work flows
introduce full traceability
apply an effective end-to-end material management
