Essemtec has released the new user interface ePlace together with the Paraquda SMD pick and place system. ePlace defines a new standard: The software turns the operation of a complex machine into a positive experience.
Essemtec ‘s Paraquda pick and place machine is the first machine to be equiped with ePlace, the new intuitive, graphical operation and programming software. It provides a level of comfort heretofore unseen on a pick-and-place machine. ePlace makes operation secure, offers tool-tips and context-sensitive help, completes entries automatically, searches intelligently, and sorts lists usefully. In short, ePlace always reacts the way the user expects it to and provides help when needed.
Above all, ePlace makes controlling a complex machine an easy task. Because not every operator speaks English and a staff with language skills is expensive, the software uses graphical representations to create clarity, and when text is unavoidable, the support for multiple languages is prepared. Education lessons are integrated as well, allowing new staff to be trained quickly.
Working with ePlace on the Paraquda requires neither mouse nor keyboard-the software is directly controlled via a 19 ” wide ergonomic touch screen. The screen can be adjusted vertically and angled into a position that is most convenient for the user. ePlace also supports users with unlimited zooming functionality and optimizes views for less scrolling and clicking.
For development of the new ePlace software, state-of-the-art .Net technologies were used.
