MSD Control Application
- Category: Material & Process Control
- Manufacturer: Cogiscan
Accurate tracking of the real-time location and remaining floor life of individual trays and reels containing MSDs.
From the time they are removed from their protective dry bag, through placement, and final reflow.
About the MSD Control Application
Ensures strict adherence to the complex rules surrounding MSD handling
Cogiscan deciphered the complex tables and rules in the JEDEC standards (J-STD-033D and J-STD-020E) and automated them in a comprehensive expert system. With our MSD Control solution, you'll no longer need to manually maintain complicated calculations, spreadsheets or written logs in order to ensure that your MSDs are placed safely on your PCBs.
YOUR CHALLENGE
Relying on manual calculations and controls is not sufficient to ensure that MSDs are handled properly to avoid quality issues. Whether you rely on home-grown tools and processes, or over-bake your MSDs to be safe, you're likely wasting time and money as well as exposing yourself to actual failures in the field!
SOLUTION
We've deciphered the complex tables and rules in the JEDEC standards (J-STD-033D and J-STD-020E) and automated them in a comprehensive expert system.

Benefits
- Improve both the quality and reliability of any product you assemble with MSDs
- Always guarantee full compliance to the latest IPC/JEDEC standards
- Save both time and money by leveraging a fully automated solution instead of disparate manual tools and calculations - Operators are given easy and simple instructions for MSD control
Features
Accurate tracking of the real-time location and remaining floor life of individual trays and reels containing MSDs – from the time they are removed from their protective dry bag, through placement, and final reflow.
Accurate calculations of
- exposure time
- bake / re-dry time
- dry storage time
- and the requirements for each based on the part characteristics (MSL part thickness, etc.)
Based on JEDEC standards
Color coded warnings and alarms to visually alert Operators of expired or soon-to-expire components.
Detailed reporting information available including the floor life status of both individual components and assemblies with MSDs, the list of MSDs that have expired or are about to expire, as well as inventory details about MSDs in dry storage.
Automated Solution - Assign floor life based on MSL, component type and body thickness, as well as factory ambient conditions, including temperature and humidity. Automatically manage remaining floor life clock based on whether MSDs are in dry storage or exposed to ambient moisture.
