In April 2026, I.C.T successfully delivered a complete SMT production line for a customer in Germany, focused on LED lighting products.
After the equipment arrived on site, our experienced engineer was dispatched to the customer’s factory to provide full installation support, commissioning, and hands-on training. The goal was simple: not just to install machines, but to help the customer achieve stable, real production as quickly as possible.
The customer operates in the LED lighting industry, mainly producing LED control boards and lighting modules. Their products require:
Stable soldering quality
Consistent placement accuracy
Efficient production changeover
Reliable long-term operation
Based on these requirements, I.C.T provided a complete SMT solution tailored to their production needs.
The solution includes:
High-speed Pick and Place Machine
This configuration ensures a smooth production flow from solder paste printing to final inspection, with a focus on stability and repeatability rather than just speed.
Once our engineer arrived at the customer’s factory, the work was carried out step by step, following a structured process to ensure nothing was missed.
The first step was to complete the full SMT line installation, including:
Machine positioning and line alignment
Electrical connection and system checks
Conveyor communication (SMEMA) setup
Initial machine power-on and safety inspection
This ensures the entire line is correctly integrated before moving into production-related work.
After installation, the focus shifted to training the customer’s engineers on each piece of equipment.
Training covered:
Machine structure and key components
Software interface and operation logic
Start-up and shutdown procedures
Safety operation standards
Daily maintenance and basic troubleshooting
Rather than just explaining theory, all training was combined with real machine operation to help the customer’s team build confidence quickly.
Next came the core part of SMT production — programming and process tuning.
Our engineer guided the customer team through:
Stencil printer program setup and alignment
Pick and place programming and component library configuration
Feeder setup and pick position optimization
Reflow oven temperature profiling
AOI inspection parameter setup
This step is critical because it directly affects product quality and production stability.
Once programming was completed, the line moved into trial production.
During this phase, the engineer worked closely with the customer to:
Run pilot production batches
Monitor printing quality and solder paste behavior
Adjust placement accuracy and offsets
Identify and resolve common defects such as:
Missing components
Misalignment
Soldering defects
Optimize process parameters for better yield
This stage turns a “working line” into a “stable production line.”
To ensure long-term independence, the training also focused on real production scenarios.
The customer’s engineers were trained on:
Product changeover procedures
Handling common production issues
Feeder replacement and material setup
Basic equipment maintenance
Process optimization during mass production
By the end of this stage, the team was able to operate the line independently.
With the support of the I.C.T engineer, the SMT production line was successfully installed, commissioned, and put into operation.
More importantly:
The customer’s engineering team gained hands-on operational capability
The production process became stable and repeatable
Initial trial production was completed smoothly
The line is now ready for continuous mass production
This project once again shows that successful delivery is not just about shipping equipment — it is about ensuring the customer can actually run and benefit from the system.
For many manufacturers, the biggest challenge is not buying equipment — it’s making everything work together in real production.
That’s why I.C.T focuses on complete solutions, including:
Equipment integration
On-site installation
Practical training
Process support
Because in the end, a stable production line is built on real experience, not just specifications.
