Stencil Management
Managing stencils is a critical part of solder paste printing (SPP) in electronics manufacturing—yet it often involves complicated manual steps, unstructured communication, and missed cleaning intervals. The tool management app streamlines this process: from notifying operators when a stencil needs cleaning, to ensuring the right stencils are at the right place at the right time, to verifying compatibility for washing and inspection.

Why use the Stencil Management App?
How our Stencil Management App streamlines your manufacturing operations
Existing Processes
- Manual stencil usage tracking prone to errors
- Unclear cleaning coordination leading to missed or overdue cleanings
- Extended machine downtimes while searching for the right tools and personnel
- Minimal documentation on inspection results and cleaning history
With Workerbase
- Real-time automatic tracking of tool usage ensures only the right tools are used
- Automatic notifications and tasks triggered when cleaning is due
- Pro-active notifications to have the right tool ready before changeover
- Digital records of cleaning cycles, inspection outcomes, and readiness status
Identify and tag your stencils
Label each tool with a scannable code (e.g., QR code) so the app can track and store usage and cleaning data.
Configure usage thresholds
Define the usage parameters (e.g., number of units produced, time intervals) at which stencils must be cleaned or inspected
