The Industry Bottleneck

The Hidden Tax on High-Mix Production

In High-Mix electronics manufacturing, every new PCB product requires a completely new depaneling setup. Operators spend 20–45 minutes waiting for CAM engineers and manually defining bridge locations for each product changeover. This is recoverable setup waste — while the production line idles.

As electronics manufacturing shifts toward smaller batches, faster product turnover, and higher customization, traditional manual depaneling workflows become a critical operational bottleneck.

The cascading consequences

All manual setup time is unrecoverable setup waste — line idles for 20–45 minutes
Critical dependency on a few specialist CAM engineers for repetitive programming
Elevated changeover frequency drastically reduces actual spindle uptime, starving downstream SMT machines and risking on-time delivery
High scrap risk: manual setup errors lead to defect rates vs. deterministic software generation
New Product Introduction (NPI) delayed by days due to engineering queue times
Developed by Spadana AI Solutions

From DXF File to CNC-Ready Pathin Under 60 Seconds

SpadanaDepanelVision developed by Spadana AI Solutions replaces the physical teach-mode loop with a computational one. The machine is no longer the primary interface — the software is. What previously required 20–30 minutes of repetitive manual programming is reduced to under one minute.
