Assembly stations

ST offers manufacturing systems which help improve productivity, ensure product quality and traceability of lots and parts. Based on lean systems development philosophy; ST ensures on time delivery and effective performance to the agreed predefined specifications through modularity for ease of customization.

Automatic product inspection and testing cannot be seen as an isolated activity. At ST, these processes as part of advanced manufacturing. The sum of diverse skills allows ST's engineering team to cover more process areas, as a result, ST is well set to construct integrated assembly stations as we provide a larger pool of cross not only in applications, engineering and integration but also in low-level development activities which include electronic and mechanical design, wireless communications, PCB design, harness design, firmware, software, etc.

Additionally, ST makes use of its local partner's network within the parts fabrication and assembly areas under strict supplier's agreements under management supervision through the whole cycle.

Testing stations

ST integrates functional end-of-line testing systems which help electronics manufacturers improve productivity, have test repeatability and ensure product quality.

Systems may include not only electrical testing but also visual inspection when required.

Automatic serial/lot traceability

ST provides automated marking and tracking solutions for identification and traceability of parts and products. Traceability systems are oriented to enable greater customization in manufacturing and to help verifying warranties as well as reducing risk in the event of a product recall.

Depending on application characteristics, systems may be built either through the use of marking and vision technologies or through the use of RFID tags:

Vision:
The sum of advanced marking and vision give our customers more than the parts:

1. Direct Part Mark Identification (DPMI) using laser, inkjet, dot peen, or electro-chemical etch marking systems for 1D and 2D codes.

1. Machine vision for collecting all the needed information at check points.

RFID:
RFID-based systems (Radio Frequency Identification). This devices is used to interrogate parts carrying a microchip via electromagnetic waves.

Applications:

• Automotive part tracking
• Electronic component tracking
• Supply chain
• Aerospace part tracking
