Siplace is the Siemens product family name for integrated hardware, software and services to support the entire SMT (surface mount technology) production facility. Factory Logic’s software is designed from the ground-up to support demand-driven production scheduling and pull-based supply synchronization using lean methods originally pioneered in the Toyota production system (TPS).

As part of the Siplace lean manufacturing tools, Factory Logic will enable electronics manufacturers to perform advanced production leveling and kanban/supermarket management functions in conjunction with Siplace SMT machines and other Siemens solution components.

Siemens will sell and support the Factory Logic software as an embedded component of Siplace applications globally.
