EFA Manufacturing
The production of printed circuit boards has always been characterized by constant challenges. The components are steadily smaller, the component density larger and the production lots shrink continuously. These circumstances favored the outsourcing towards electronic Manufacturing Services have always been.
But in addition to the demands on man and machine, the competition in the EMS market is constantly growing. Customer requests for a cost-effective and fastest possible production in the best quality from lot size 1 are no longer the exception - they are the rule!
The demands for a sQuick quotation preparation, error-free work preparation and short delivery times for ever smaller batches offer management, work preparation and production always facing new challenges. UAs if that were not enough, the variety and volume of electronic components is steadily increasing!
That these Expectations of the EMS industry are not just wishful thinking, that's what makes the call for Industry 4.0 clear!
Electronics production is changing again!
EFA SmartSuite
To meet these ever-growing demands on the EMS industry with smart software solutions, the development of EFA Inspection took place in 2009® started to fast initial sample inspection.
Over the next 8 years, EFA Inspection became® then further developed in close cooperation with our customers to a whole suite of smart software solutions. This is how the industry software emerged from this intense and strongly feedback-driven collaboration EFA SmartSuite!
EFA SmartSuite can provide a variety of efficient solutions in the areas quoting, work preparation and PCB production come up!

These solutions are based on the Experience of a large number of printed circuit board manufacturers in dealing with customer-specific data and requirements. All PCB manufacturers whose know-how has been incorporated into the development are today our customers and use EFA SmartSuite at several workstations on average.
Statements of our customers ..
Volker Linde
With the camera system, the system is in a technically better state than comparable solutions, is user-friendly and offers a wide range of uses.
Marco Schoenefeld
With EFA Inspection in combination with the EFA Inline device, we can easily inspect batch sizes from 0 to 1000 with EFA Inspection.
Daniel Hornischer
Compared to a system with a scanner, the EFA device saves time when setting up and taking pictures.
Klaus Gassen
Die EFA bietet das beste Preis-Leistungsverhältnis. Der sehr gute Service und die Betreuung durch die Firma Lebert runden das System für uns ab!
Employees from the test field
Working with EFA Inspection saves a lot of time. In addition, we have all information ready immediately.
Theo Schelasni
In no time it is clear which components are already in stock.
Reto Lempen
With EFA Inspection, we were able to achieve significant time savings together with a significant increase in quality and process reliability.
Daniel Hornischer
The link to our component database enables the creation of parts lists much faster. With this step we can save at least 50% time.
Roland Holderried
This system has been shown to reduce the time spent on revisions and initial sample inspections by up to 80%. The production has not only gained valuable production time, but also secures the quality of the products through a predefined process.
Klaus Gassen
Durch den Einsatz der EFA können wir SMT-Linienfreigaben viel schneller erreichen.
Sabrina Frühinsfeld
The flexibility with which we can tailor EFA Inspection to our process is an important factor for us. The saved time savings directly affect the quality of our products.
Marco Schoenefeld
The different formats of customer data can be converted into a standard format for production with EFA.
Reto Lempen
First of all, we were impressed by the simple handling.
Florian Berzl
We can also incorporate persons into the operation, who usually do not carry out an optical inspection. This means that each shift can easily monitor its own process steps
Timo Stöhr
Overall, an improvement in affected processes was achieved through significant time savings. In addition, the system enables faulty placement to be found reliably and thus contributes to general process optimization.
Rolf-Dieter Haake
In addition to the enormous time savings, we have also achieved standardization of the production documents. As a side effect, the work processes are of course also standardized. This has a direct influence on the further production steps in the company.
Rolf-Dieter Haake
In addition to the time savings of more than 50% in the work preparation, this process offers additional security when comparing the customer data, which very much meets our high quality standards. In addition to the enormous time savings, we have also achieved a standardization of the production documents.
Timo Stöhr
In EFA Inspection we have been able to import all different customer formats. The purely digital preparation for production and testing has become significantly more reliable and enables a completely new view of the customer's product.
Florian Berzl
We were also able to train people who usually do not carry out an optical inspection. This means that each shift can easily monitor its own process steps.
Volker Linde
EFA Inspection is indispensable as a sales argument for EMS service providers in the small and medium-sized quantities segment.
Sabrina Frühinsfeld
The flexibility with which we can adapt EFA Inspection to our process is an important factor for us.
Daniel Hornischer
The functions for work preparation convinced us. Our processes are noticeably optimized.
Thorsten Libera
By linking with our component database, the creation of parts lists is much faster. At this step we can save at least 50% time!
Klaus Gassen
Ein weiterer Vorteil von EFA ist, dass wir die qualitativ sehr hochwertigen Fotos in SAP abspeichern und somit den Freigabeprozess archivieren und nachvollziehbar machen.
Reto Lempen
This guided inspection gives us the assurance that the inspector has inspected and evaluated each component. There are no items to forget. With EFA Inspection, we were able to achieve significant time savings along with a significant increase in quality and process reliability.
Waltraud Aumüller
This type of control (Augmented Reality Inspection) reduces our downtime of the production lines!
Waltraud Aumüller
Since we insist on an initial inspection prior to SMD soldering, we are now using the EFA inspection system there specifically so that consequential errors can be excluded in advance. In addition, this type of control reduces our downtimes of the production lines.
Marco Schoenefeld
The EFA inline solution convinced us with the automatic image creation. We can easily inspect batch sizes from 0 to 1000 with EFA Inspection.
Thorsten Libera
Assembly changes are now easier to integrate into the current module data.
Volker Linde
Our wide range of components, designs and assemblies can be covered with the camera system in good resolution.
Rolf-Dieter Haake
In addition to the time saving of more than 50% in the work preparation, this process offers additional security when comparing customer data, which is very good for our high quality standards.
Volker Linde
The time required for the optical inspection went down landslide! This significant change in the optical inspection process had an impact on the entire production throughput process.
