(ASM: Suwanee, GA) -- With its ASM Factory Equipment Center, ASM is now offering a powerful, integrated software-based solution for companywide asset and maintenance management. You can plan, control, execute, support, and document the maintenance and repairs of all ASM and non-ASM machines, feeders, production tools, and placement heads centrally, including equipment in areas that are not part of your SMT production.

Since you control the software via an approved browser, access is extremely easy and possible from most mobile devices. ASM is also forging new paths in terms of licensing with a demand-based rental model instead of having to purchase the software. Since the rental fee for ASM Factory Equipment Center is based on the number of assets being managed, transparent operating expenses replace investments and their complex depreciation calculations.
