“West Instruments prides itself on having the industry’s shortest lead times,” said Jason Gross, Technical Director of MYDATA, “but, because there are thousands of possible variants of its instruments, every single one is built to order. That makes fast changeovers on its SMT line essential, and the company has found that MYDATA equipment offers the ideal solution.”

The MY9 pick-and-place machines at West Instruments form part of a completely integrated manufacturing solution. This also includes MYDATA’s MYPlan and MYLabel software products, to help maximise flexibility and productivity.
