SEHO was awarded a 2021 GLOBAL Technology Award in the category of Selective Soldering for its new SmartSplit. The award was announced during a ceremony that took place Tuesday, Nov. 16, 2021 during productronica in Munich, Germany.

SEHO SmartSplit is an intelligent software that controls and coordinates the process sequence for different assemblies in mixed operation. This newly developed software component turns an efficient system for batch production into an innovative selective soldering system for high-mix-high-volume production, without retrofitting and without additional costs.

SmartSplit automatically distributes the various process tasks, such as flux deposition, soldering process with up to six soldering units and selective brushing process, to the available process stations that are integrated in the individual machine. As a result, SEHO SmartSplit allows high mix – high volume production in selective soldering processes by cutting the cycle times in half. This amazing new function can be integrated in the SelectLine-C machine platform as well as the new LeanSelect-plus.

The space-saving conception of the individual process stations minimizes floor space costs. In addition, several soldering units in a system can use one service station centrally. A further advantage of the SmartSplit software is its programming simplicity. Only the overall soldering task has to be programmed for an assembly.

The GLOBAL Technology Awards have recognized the very best new innovations in the printed circuit assembly and packaging industries since 2005. The prestigious awards contest has been bringing together the global SMT and advanced packaging industry in a celebration of the companies and people that are achieving the highest standards and driving our industry forward.
