MODI and DiVis revolutionise traceability: New TopScan Pro and PackTrace solutions
MODI unveils the WES V5 with groundbreaking TopScan Pro technology featuring autofocus capabilities and AI-powered reel measurement, while DiVis introduces PackTrace for optimized outbound packaging processes. These innovations deliver complete traceability from incoming goods to final shipment for electronics manufacturers.
Electronics manufacturers across the Nordic region are facing increasing demands for precision, efficiency, and complete traceability throughout their supply chains. There is less and less headroom for wasting money on traceability problems and manual processes.
MODI and DiVis have responded with significant innovations that address these challenges head-on, introducing advanced solutions that transform both incoming goods inspection and outbound packaging processes.
TopScan Pro: A New Standard in Component Inspection
The centrepiece of MODI’s latest innovation is the TopScan Pro, available as either an add-on to the WES V5 Standard or Compact systems, or as a flexible standalone solution. This advanced scanning unit represents a significant leap forward in component reel inspection technology, offering capabilities that were previously unavailable in the market.
The TopScan Pro’s autofocus functionality accommodates reels up to 20 centimetres in height, eliminating the manual adjustments and delays that have traditionally plagued incoming goods processes. This feature alone can save manufacturers significant time during high-volume receiving operations, where component reels of varying sizes arrive continuously throughout the day.
Incoming inspection is not limited to SMD reels; also, small boxes can be scanned without adjustments.
AI-powered reel measurement
One of the most significant innovations in the WES V5 system is its AI-powered reel measurement capability. The system now automatically determines both reel diameter and reel thickness during the scanning process, providing critical dimensional data that was previously collected manually or not at all.
Rather than discovering storage space issues later in the workflow, operators can identify the appropriate storage location for each reel based on its actual dimensions during the initial scan. This capability directly addresses one of the most common bottlenecks in electronics manufacturing warehouses: the inefficient use of storage space due to inadequate information about component dimensions.
The reel diameter measurement uses advanced algorithms to analyse the captured images and calculate dimensions with high accuracy. This data becomes part of the component’s digital record, available for warehouse management systems and ERP integration, ensuring that every downstream process has access to complete and accurate information.
Enhanced camera technology and label recognition
Through optimised calculation methods, the system identifies and reads labels automatically, significantly reducing setup time and eliminating the need for pre-configuration when new label formats are encountered. This “zero-training” approach means manufacturers can handle components from new suppliers without workflow interruptions or system modifications.
PackTrace: completing the traceability chain
PackTrace ensures 100% accuracy in outbound goods through real-time scanning and automated photo documentation. As operators pack items for shipment, the system captures every detail, creating a complete visual record of package contents layer by layer. This level of documentation proves invaluable when addressing customer queries, investigating shipping discrepancies, or negotiating with carriers regarding damaged shipments.
The system integrates seamlessly with ERP and warehouse management systems, automatically retrieving packing lists and verifying that the correct items are included in each shipment. Each package is recorded on the fly, significantly accelerating the entire outbound process while simultaneously improving accuracy.
Shipping registration can be performed automatically, eliminating another manual step that previously consumed time and introduced potential errors.
