## What it does

- **Loads and unloads** PostPro SF100 systems automatically.
- **Recognizes each tray,** and the tray selects the recipe for that batch.
- **Runs unattended:** AMT describes 24/7 unattended production, or lights-out vapor smoothing.
- **Works with existing machines:** DMS is for PostPro SF100 systems, including existing installs.
- **Connects:** the SF50 and SF100 support MES/ERP connectivity.

## Questions to think about before automating

- How many runs a day do you need, and how many shifts are staffed today?
- Which parts and materials would share a cell, and how are trays prepared upstream?
- Where would a cell sit in your floor plan, and how would trays reach it?
