How On-Track Technology advances SMT manufacturing with Siemens Process Preparation

By Joshua Lawson - On Track Technology

In today’s electronics industry, achieving reliable and scalable SMT manufacturing requires more than advanced equipment, it demands intelligent, connected process preparation.

Many manufacturers still rely on manual workflows for SMT programming and PCB programming, including time‑consuming PCB layer identification and disconnected engineering data. These inefficiencies slow production and introduce risk.

On-Track Technology continues to take a different approach, leveraging Siemens Process Preparation to modernize and scale operations.

From manual to intelligent PCB process engineering

A key challenge in surface mount technology (SMT) is handling complex PCB data quickly and accurately. With Siemens, On-Track Technologies benefits from AI-driven capabilities such as:

Automated PCB layer identification
Intelligent PCB layer classification
Streamlined process engineering workflows

This reduces manual effort and enables engineers to focus on optimizing production.

Enabling First-Time-Right production

With a centralized Process Preparation platform, On-Track Technology can standardize and validate workflows before production begins, reducing errors, improving consistency, and accelerating new product introduction.

Scaling with confidence

By reusing manufacturing knowledge and standardizing processes across lines, On-Track Technology ensures consistent, high-quality output while supporting scalable growth.
