KIC Introduces "Energy-Saving" Software

KIC announces that its Energy Wizard products can reduce wasted energy in the production process.

According to the company, reflow ovens consume much electricity as a result of the tremendous amount of heat required to process PCB assemblies. Nearly all reflow ovens worldwide consume far more energy than required. This is because oven recipes are selected based on profile and throughput requirements with no consideration of electricity consumption. As a result, there is a significant amount of wasted electricity in factories everywhere.

To help remedy this waste of electricity, KIC has introduced its Energy Wizard software that allows technicians to identify the best oven setup that yields an in-spec process at the required throughput, while simultaneously optimizing for low electricity use. The company said several case studies indicate a typical electricity reduction of 15 percent while actually improving the process.
