Traceability and Compliance
X-Smart Light is an advanced component tracking system that digitizes material management in SMT production using Pick-by Light technology. It automatically enforces FIFO – FEFO rules and prevents material management error.
Traceability is provided by recording every material used, every step taken, and all data related to each operation.
The system enables manufacturers to increase operational speed, accuracy, and traceability, while supporting lean automation, maximizing space efficiency, and meeting strict industry-specific quality requirements.
In electronics manufacturing, compliance with aerospace, automotive, defence, and IPC standards is not just a requirement — it is a key factor that provides a competitive advantage.
