Quantity control is becoming an important issue in high-tech products manufacturing.

Optical Disc is no exception. The value of an Optical Disc not only is including cost of manufacturing, but also composing the wisdom of a lot of people devoted. Therefore quantity wrongly counted stands for the mistakes of quality control, a higher production cost. It will be directly treated by the customer as fraud.

We have found the optical disc producers always facing a serious problem of counting in its production line. Especially, it is more serious in counting the blue-color DVD-R and single-mould DVD recently.。

The optical disc industry is developing too faster than the disc counter. The market is full before the disc counter developing its technique well.

l  Defects of Micro-Image S-320！

The real experiences shows here-under, that might be our duty to tell you some, It should be helpful before your make up your mind.：

In a Disc factory located in Tao-Yuan, since the counter replaced by our S-320, the operators complained no time for break, because the counting speed is too fast.

In a factory in Hsin-Chu, in order to faster their productivity, the different departments are trying to get the good machine in advance for their own. They complained a lot when they are not able to get it earlier.

The manpower of packing was cut some off when the factory supervisor found the efficiency of counting is much better than the old days. This is an example for a foreign disc factory.

In a traditional production line with 10 sets of counter, normally it is backing up with some manpower to support the stabilization of counting. Since the counter changed into S-320, the counter is not only down to be 5 sets, but also it is operated without any maintenance or repairing. The department of repairing re-organized for such a benefit.
