At Cogiscan, it’s our goal to
make collecting traceability data as quick, easy, and painless as possible by utilizing automation and machine communication. Each manufacturer has their own unique processes and machine sets – and we leverage the
industry’s largest collection of Co-NECT machine interfaces, including hardware and software flexible enough to adapt to almost any electronics assembly environment, so we can customize the best way to capture data to feed your traceability system.
