EFA Smart Suite - production
All ways of an EMS order lead to production! Regardless of whether the production of a printed circuit board is carried out by hand or by machine, the essential prerequisites for production are always correctly prepared data.
If the production takes place with the help of machines, then this data must be further processed depending on the machine type. For this step, more extensive machine knowledge is required and the necessary programming stations must be available. In particular, the programming of the placement machines is one of the tasks high error potential. Because this is where the assignment takes place between the alignment of the customer's components and the alignment of the components in the assembler’s own library.
To a particularly high degree prone to failure is of course that too manual assembly! Even if the first printed circuit board has been correctly assembled, the second can already be faulty. This is where people who are inferior to a machine for repetitive tasks are equipped. Nevertheless, manual assembly is the first choice for prototypes or small series.
Test procedure
Errors can occur in every step of production! When first manufacturing (Initial sample inspection) on a printed circuit board, the expected error rate is of course particularly high. But even with repeated production (Setup inspection, Small batch testing) the same printed circuit board, even with machine production, a large number of problems can arise.
Therefore, there are different test procedures that differ in the scope and procedure of the objects to be tested.

Statements of our customers ..
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.
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.
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.
Daniel Hornischer
Compared to a system with a scanner, the EFA device saves time when setting up and taking pictures.
Daniel Hornischer
The functions for work preparation convinced us. Our processes are noticeably optimized.
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.
Employees from the test field
Working with EFA Inspection saves a lot of time. In addition, we have all information ready immediately.
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.
Reto Lempen
First of all, we were impressed by the simple handling.
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.
Waltraud Aumüller
This type of control (Augmented Reality Inspection) reduces our downtime of the production lines!
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 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.
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.
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.
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
Klaus Gassen
Durch den Einsatz der EFA können wir SMT-Linienfreigaben viel schneller erreichen.
Volker Linde
EFA Inspection is indispensable as a sales argument for EMS service providers in the small and medium-sized quantities segment.
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.
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!
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.
Sabrina Frühinsfeld
The flexibility with which we can adapt EFA Inspection to our process is an important factor for us.
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.
Reto Lempen
With EFA Inspection, we were able to achieve significant time savings together with a significant increase in quality and process reliability.
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.
