Product catalog summary
Introduction
Ersa addresses the high demands for quality in electronics manufacturing by providing a traceability solution. This ensures that each assembly is identifiable by its origin, manufacturing time, and process conditions, allowing for efficient defect identification and recall management.

Traceability Solution
Ersa, in collaboration with the ZVEI association, has developed guidelines for implementing traceability in manufacturing. The Ersa trace interface complies with the ZVEI standard, providing an XML protocol file with essential process parameters to systems like Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES).

XML Protocol File Structure
The XML file includes:
  • Unique product ID (e.g., bar code)
  • Production equipment or workstation
  • Date and time stamps
  • Processing status (e.g., OK or NOK)
Optional data includes processing parameters, measuring data, library name, and soldering program name.

Process Control
Process control is managed by the MES, ensuring defective products are not processed further and maintaining the correct process sequence. Customers can customize the Ersa trace interface for specific needs, documented in a system specification.

Customer-Specific Solutions
Ersa offers customization options for the trace interface, based on successful projects with international clients. This ensures traceability and quality assurance through documented process parameters and optional MES process control.

Contact Information
Ersa has a global presence with contact details provided for locations in America, Asia, and Europe.
