Change the Way You Think About Changeover Efficiency! Want to boost production and meet growing customer demands? Reducing changeover time could be the game-changer you need. Changeover—switching from one product to another—can cost anywhere from minutes to hours, and every hour of changeover is an hour of lost revenue. If you’re doing 8-10 changeovers weekly, that’s nearly a full day of production lost! Here’s why Changeover Matters and how our FuzionXC2-37™ platform helps minimize downtime. #FUZIONXC #PCBAASSEMBLY #CHANGEOVER #OEE #MANUFACTURING   Changeover is a multi-step process:   1️⃣ Teardown clears out materials from the previous product to prep the line. 2️⃣ Setup configures equipment for the new product, often involving adjustments and parts replacements. 3️⃣ First Article Build tests the first production run to ensure quality and achieve 100% FPY before ramping up.   This isn’t just a time-saver—it’s a revenue booster. Saving time with faster changeovers directly increases output and profitability, keeping your production line lean, flexible, and responsive. Why Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) Matters for Changeover Efficiency: OEE is a powerful metric that shows how well your production is running by evaluating Availability (minimizing downtime), Performance (reducing speed losses), and Quality Rate (minimizing defects). If your line’s OEE is low—say 55.2%—you have significant opportunities to improve by addressing machine downtime, defect rates, and changeover efficiency.   3 Strategies to Boost Changeover Efficiency: 🔹 Feeder Bank Exchange: Preload and swap feeder banks to save setup time. 🔹 Fixed Family Setups: Use commonly used setups to reduce changeover work. 🔹 Auto Validation: Automate part validation for quick, seamless setup verification. Hybrid methods can further tailor changeover efficiency based on product complexity and production needs.   Meet the FuzionXC2-37: Your Changeover Optimization Partner!   The FuzionXC2-37 is a single-machine powerhouse built for high-mix, low/medium volume requirements. With advanced NPI software, edit-on-the-fly features, and an impressive PCB and component support range, FuzionXC helps keep your line running efficiently and redefines capacity. 🚀 Key Features • 272 8mm inputs, 29 random access tray inputs, strip tape, and track feeder support • Actual throughput of 20-25K cph • PCB size up to 508 x 1300 mm (24" x 51") • Supports components from 01005 up to 150mm square x 25mm tall Ready to optimize your changeover and unlock more revenue?
