BROMONT, CANADA, October 2014 — Cogiscan Inc., the leading Track, Trace and Control (TTC) solutions provider for the electronics manufacturing industry, together with Juki, has provided VIP-VIRANT Group with a complete TTC solution for its new assembly line.

VIP-VIRANT Group’s new fully integrated assembly line consists of JUKI loaders, transport systems and linked repairing stations. The JUKI GL printer together with the JUKI SPI/AOI system RV-1, a nitrogen reflow oven and two JUKI mounters also are included. The new line is complemented by a continuous traceability and quality management system from Cogiscan.

With Cogiscan’s TTC solutions, VIP-VIRANT Group has achieved complete traceability, from the laser marker up to the finished product.
