TTC Applications
Our Tower Solution is a flexible system that enables complete integration between storage towers and placement machines. It simplifies the kitting of large work orders, dispensing required reels with a single click of a button. The automatic low-level alert system also ensures that your placement machines will never run out of components.

Key Features
Automate and error-proof the picking process with real-time inventory adjustments
- Creates a kit list from various sources (work order data, placement program data, MES, ERP, MRP, etc.)
- Sends information directly to your storage tower for the production setup process.
Our system can also track things like MSD properties using our MSD control module
The system will know how long a given MSD part has been outside of storage, exposed to ambient moisture, and when its due to expire based on it’s MSL level. In other words, our system knows when a component has exceeded its allowable floor life before it needs to be taken off the floor – guaranteeing expired MSDs are not used in production.
Includes the option to integrate with other enterprise systems such as your ERP/MRP/MES to share material movement including location and quantity information.
With this information in real-time, these systems can have a much more accurate and up-to-date picture of consumption and inventory on the shop floor, and can stock and procure material more effectively.
Our solution uses M2M communication to seamlessly integrate data between placement machines and SMD storage towers
With this integration, the system automatically sends a request for components to the storage system based on low-level warnings from the placement machines, therefore minimizing machine downtime and increasing overall line efficiency.
AGV Destination Info
With our solution, automated guided vehicles (AGVs) will receive direct requests for replenishment to transport materials from storage tower to the line.
Real-Time Data Synchronization
With real-time data synchronization, you'll always have the latest material data at your fingertips. No more running the SMT line blind.
Optimized SMT Line Efficiency
Automatically sends a request for components to the storage system based on low-level warnings from the placement machines.
Automatic Material Reservation
Automatically request material from the towers for multiple jobs to seamlessly build kits without accidentally pulling material reserved for other work orders.

Visibility
Quantity and location of components can be tracked at all times throughout the factory.
Does it work in a mixed-vendor environment?
There are countless integration scenarios possible depending on the manufacturing ecosystem of the end customer as the models for placement machine models and ERP/MES systems will vary widely. Our solution is ideal for customers with mixed-vendor manufacturing ecosystems with placement machines from different brands.
What the pros say:
" By collaborating with Cogiscan we are able to implement their robust off-the-shelf Co-NECT interfaces for all major brands of SMT equipment, so our customers can easily integrate our solutions within any production environment. "
