The perfect line controller to control your production

Automotive industry

With the FabEagle®LC line controller, you can efficiently control your production line, avoid bottlenecks or delays in production. This ensures smooth integration of all processes and components in automotive manufacturing. Process-driven production control enables you to optimize material flows and simplify production processes to ensure that your deadlines are met.

Electronics assembly

In electronics assembly, short cycle times and high product variety are standard. The FabEagle®LC line controller provides process-oriented control of your lines and workflows, giving you the transparency you need for efficient production. You can track and analyze production data in real time. This eliminates bottlenecks, optimizes equipment utilization, and ensures smooth throughput of each product variant.

Pharmaceuticals and medical technology

Quality assurance and traceability are top priorities in pharmaceutical and medical technology production. With the FabEagle®LC line controller, you ensure GMP-compliant production control and management. You get complete batch tracking, and automatic data archiving serves as proof of the quality of your manufactured products in accordance with regulatory requirements.

Semiconductor production

Precision and efficiency are essential in the highly complex semiconductor backend. The FabEagle®LC line controller provides production control of all back-end processes for production lines and cluster systems – from loading and separation to bonding and packaging. This gives you full control over all process steps and creates optimal production conditions for the highest quality.

Altratec Automation: Clearly defined interfaces for a fast integration

“When carrying out large-scale projects, only close cooperation between all the companies involved can be economical. We know that a fair collaboration from the very beginning is the key to success. When choosing a suitable partner, we as machine manufacturer primarily rely on local companies such as Kontron AIS and their software solutions in the area of factory automation and production control systems. The Kontron AIS team was not only able to convince us on a technical level, through the use of clearly defined interfaces for a fast integration. The direct contact to the project team and the extensive support in all project phases is also a valuable quality.”

Rico Prüstel, Sales Management, Altratec Automation GmbH

Seamless traceability: Verify quality, trace material

From material feed to finished product, the FabEagle®LC line controller provides complete traceability of materials and products. Integrated Track & Trace capabilities automatically record and document every batch, component and process step. This allows you to immediately identify anomalies, reduce production errors, meet regulatory requirements, and create a data foundation for process optimization.
