Case Study: CYAN Intelligent achieves automated, optimized PCB baking with Advantech's WebAccess/SCADA

CYAN Intelligent makes good use of WebAccess/SCADA solution to optimize the PCB baking operation for the electronic factory

CYAN Intelligent, a system integrator for SCADA solutions, faced quality-control challenges in a high-mix, low-volume PCB factory where oven baking was manually set by operators and errors (wrong oven settings or doors opened during baking) risked producing low-quality boards. To bridge the equipment and IT layers and eliminate manual intervention, CYAN Intelligent partnered with Advantech and used Advantech’s WebAccess/SCADA platform and industrial hardware to link ovens, thermostats, barcode scanners, and the MES.

Advantech’s solution—WebAccess/SCADA running on IPC-7132 with EKI-1222 gateways and ADAM-6200 I/O modules—automatically imports work-order parameters from the MES to the ovens via barcode scan, records baking data to an SQL Server, and issues alerts for abnormal temperature or opened oven doors. The implementation reduced human error, produced production-history records for process optimization, and has been deployed in two PCB factories with plans to expand monitoring by adding more WebAccess I/O tags.
