KIC’s Fully Automatic Profiling Solutions provide LIVE reflow process data offering huge savings in terms of Production Engineering Time and Production Down Time compared to running manual profiles.
Imagine recording a reflow profile for every board leaving your oven, automatically checked and verified as “GOOD”, just as with AOI.
Now when issues arise you can see the reflow oven process is not the cause and look elsewhere – no need to run a profile to check first.
And if it is a problem with the Reflow Process we can STOP the infeed conveyor automatically, restricting the issue to just the boards in the oven at that time.
Even before the FIRST board enters the oven KIC Automated Profiling is already working, if it’s not a “GOOD” process, we can stop PCBs from entering the oven.
If the WRONG RECIPE is loaded we can stop even the first board from entering the oven – Eliminating Reflow Oven Recipe Changeover Errors completely.
KIC Automatic Profiling solutions automatically evidences your reflow profile Audit Process so there’s no need to search for the “Last Known Profile”, you have it LIVE on the screen at all times and Automatically recorded for future reference.
ELIMINATES Daily, Weekly, Batch and Ad-Hoc Profiling Checks completely.
With Barcode Traceability we can read and log the boards’ serial number to the profile, providing Full Automatic Production Traceability for EVERY board.

Saving process engineering time, INCREASING your production up-time and exponentially increasing your reflow data collection and historical product traceability.
And for users with connected ovens and barcoded products, KIC’s AUTO-VP (optional) Feature can be enabled to Automatically change the oven recipe when a board reaches the oven.
This oven recipe checker reads the product barcode, checks for a match with the existing recipe and if it’s correct it is allowed into the oven.
If it doesn’t match the correct oven recipe for that product is automatically loaded via the 2-way oven-KIC communication and the board is held until the oven is stable (it can take up to 20-30 minutes for an oven to stabilise after changing a recipe).
Fully and Automatically eliminates products being run on the “wrong oven recipe” and removes this manual step from the operators “Product Change-Over” schedule.
Smart Factory Ready – Link to KIC’s Vantage Smart Factory System and now all your oven and profiling data can be accessible anywhere in your factory, not just at the oven.
This solution offers comparison of the same products run on different lines (same or different ovens), allowing for process and equipment improvements to further optimise your production and increase your yields.
