The integrated intelligence concept is based on intelligent feeder and intelligent machine. The feeder records component identity, inventory count and pickup correction so the machine can confirm that it picks the correct component reliably. The machine must be able to enable high throughput when feeders are not in optimized positions. The turret head and machine architecture are reportedly critical to enabling this potential. Said to cope with feeders in any position with limited reduction in placement rate. Every feeder is said to be fully programmable with component and inventory data. Once the feeders are loaded, the machine automatically recognizes the information.
