The pain points
And how Tathven answers each one
Components
1
A build stops for one missing part
The pain
Hundreds of components go into one board. One is short, and the line stops.
How Tathven solves it
Material planning explodes open orders through their bills of materials, nets every component against stock and open purchases, and proposes purchase and production orders for you to confirm. Components are kitted against the job order before the build starts.
✨ How the agentic ERP helps
Ask “which components are short for next week’s builds?” and the assistant prepares the purchase order for you to confirm.
2
The wrong part, or a part from a bad lot
The pain
A reel with the wrong part number, or packing that has taken in moisture, reaches the line.
How Tathven solves it
Components can be held on receipt until a person with the clearance right releases them. A ready receipt specification checks the part number and manufacturer against the order, the date code, the moisture-barrier packing, the measured value and solderability. Lots are traced from receipt to the boards they went into, and items are scanned by barcode on receipt and issue.
The line
3
The SMT line on a whiteboard
The pain
Lines are booked by memory, feeder setups eat the day, and nobody sees which order slips.
How Tathven solves it
Pick-and-place machines, reflow ovens, wave soldering, solder paste printers and optical inspection come as ready machine types, each with its own fields. Each machine sits in a work centre with its calendar and machine-hour rate. Production orders are scheduled on a board against what each machine can do, and auto-schedule places open orders by due date.
✨ How the agentic ERP helps
Ask “which builds are running late, and why?” The assistant prepares a reschedule or extra overtime for you to confirm.
4
Downtime nobody writes down
The pain
The line stops for a reflow fault, a feeder setup or a missing component, and the reason is never recorded.
How Tathven solves it
The shop floor screen records each run with good and rejected quantities and the reason for every stop. Downtime reasons come ready for electronics: SMT line breakdown, reflow oven fault, feeder setup, component shortage, stencil cleaning and ESD audit hold. Utilisation and OEE show how much of the line’s time made good boards.
5
Solder defects that keep coming back
The pain
Dry joints and bridges are reworked at the bench, and nobody knows which board or line causes them.
How Tathven solves it
Rejects on a run name their defect: dry or cold solder joint, solder bridge, missing component, wrong polarity, wrong component fitted or functional test failure. A defect report raised from the run carries the root cause and corrective and preventive actions, and a Pareto view shows which defects, items and work centres lead. A complaint from a customer can raise a defect report too.
Testing and release
6
Test results on paper
The pain
In-circuit and functional test results are written on sheets, and a unit leaves without its hi-pot test.
How Tathven solves it
Ready specifications check an assembled board (workmanship to IPC-A-610 class 2, in-circuit test, supply current, firmware version, coating thickness) and a finished product (functional test, hi-pot, insulation resistance, serial number range, rating plate and burn-in hours). Each operation can also carry its own in-process checks, and a run cannot be stopped while a required check is outstanding.
7
Which serial went to which customer?
The pain
A unit fails in the field and nobody can say when it was made or what went into it.
How Tathven solves it
Items can be serial-tracked, one serial per unit, and duplicates are refused. Finished lots are linked to the component lots they used, and the recall view traces a lot to every customer and parcel.
Costs, job work and sales
8
Quoting a build without knowing its cost
The pain
A customer wants a price for a new board today.
How Tathven solves it
A costing order works out the cost from components, machine hours, job rates, wastage and overhead, and suggests a sale price. The cost-drift view shows which products have moved away from their standard.
9
Coating and testing sent outside
The pain
Boards go out for coating or testing, and what came back lives in challans.
How Tathven solves it
A job order sends the work to a contractor with material issued against it and a due-back date, unused material comes back to stores, and GST’s ITC-04 return is built from the same records.
10
Customers on credit, GST on every part
The pain
Goods leave before anyone checks the money, and returns are typed by hand.
How Tathven solves it
Every buyer has its own credit days and limit, and an order is cleared for dispatch only when it is paid or within credit terms. An HSN catalogue for printed circuits, integrated circuits, LEDs, switches, cable, converters and control panels comes ready. GST returns are built from the tax ledger.
