BTU’s to Discuss New Features of the WINCON Connected Factory Interface at Southern Manufacturing

NORTH BILLERICA, Mass., March 9, 2017 — BTU International, Inc., a leading supplier of advanced thermal processing equipment for the electronics manufacturing and alternative energy markets, today announced plans to exhibit in Booth H19 with Key Production Equipment Ltd. at the Southern Manufacturing & Electronics Exhibition. The event is scheduled to take place March 21-23, 2017 at FIVE in Farnbourough, UK. BTU representatives will showcase the PYRAMAX^™ reflow oven with the WINCON^™ connected factory interface.

WINCON is the industry’s most powerful oven control system, with custom MES solutions, true plug-and-play interoperability, and easy integration with OT/IT systems. Combining both the simplicity of a graphical user interface with powerful diagnostic and analytical tools, WINCON is used in conjunction with BTU’s proprietary INTELLIMAX™ control board on all BTU systems; including the PYRAMAX family of convection reflow ovens. The interface includes BTU’s RecipePro recipe generation tool and Energy Pilot Software.

The Energy Pilot software saves manufacturers money whenever the oven is idle.  Standby mode can save more than 25 percent. Sleep mode can be used for longer interruptions, saving more than 40 percent. Long idle periods fully shut down the oven using hibernate mode. Recovery times are minimized using remote product sensors and SMEMA. For RecipePro, the integration of ECD’s recipe generator technology into BTU’s advanced reflow systems offers manufacturers a streamlined and effective approach to initial recipe generation for higher yield results. The profiler will reduce non-productive time by streamlining the set-up process.
