GullySystem
Manufacturing · Electronic Product Manufacturer Management Software

One system for models, SMT runs, test yield, cartons and returns.

Each consumer model is held once, with its colour, plug and carton variants, panelised board bill, SMT runs, moisture-sensitive reel control, ICT and ageing results, and warranty returns. Planners see what the line can build. Operators key counts at the station, and when a unit comes back, the service desk traces its date code to the run that made it.

  • Models, variants and carton rules entered the way your line builds them
  • Part lists, stock lots and open dealer orders migrated
  • Changes to line stations and forms made by GullySystem staff on request

A speaker, router or charger is followed from the reel store to the retail carton. The system holds bills with colour and plug variants, stencil and reflow records, floor-life clocks for moisture-sensitive chips, ICT and ageing results, carton labels, dealer orders and returns. One date code leads back to its run.

Where it breaks today

What goes wrong before the software.

Yield figures arrive after the loss

Rejects are tallied by hand at each station on a clipboard, so the manager sees the figure days later. By then a worn stencil aperture or a drifting nozzle has printed several more shifts of boards. Bad boards are already in cartons.

Floor life of opened parts is unwatched

Wi-Fi modules, eMMC memory and fine-pitch BGAs arrive in dry bags with a humidity indicator card. Once the bag is cut, the floor-life clock runs. Without a record, exposed parts reach the reflow oven and pop or crack, then fail in the customer’s home.

Variants multiply the part list

A Bluetooth speaker in four colours with two plug types becomes eight bills, the copies drift apart, and the floor fits a black bezel into a grey order for a retail chain. Rework follows, with fresh stickers.

A returned carton leads nowhere

The date code is inked on the box flap, yet no sheet ties it to the panel lot, the housing moulder or the ageing rack. The service desk swaps the unit. The cause stays open.

Packed quantity is counted twice

Inner cartons, master cartons and pallets are each counted by eye, so the dispatch note and the retailer’s purchase order disagree. A short shipment is found at the distributor’s receiving bay, after the truck has left.

Cost per unit is a guess

Memory and regulator prices move between quotation and purchase, yet the cost sheet is seldom touched, so the true margin on a charger or smart plug is learned from the ledger. Too late to reprice.

How it runs

How the work flows through it, step by step.

  1. 1

    Order and plan

    A brand, retailer or distributor orders models in set colours and quantities; the planner checks stock of PCBs, housings, adaptors and cartons, then fixes a run date. Shortages of a single connector or cell show early.

  2. 2

    Kit and reel issue

    Storekeepers issue reels, trays and PCB panels to the line against the run, and each dry bag cut open is logged with a time. Any chip past its floor life is held for the baking oven.

  3. 3

    SMT and inspection

    The run records stencil, solder paste lot, feeder setup and reflow profile, while AOI rejects are counted and sent to rework with a fault code such as tombstone or bridge. Each setting is read off the record.

  4. 4

    Assembly and test

    Boards are fitted into housings with batteries, cables and antennas. Jig and ICT results are logged per unit or per batch; rejects go to the repair bench with the fault written beside the serial.

  5. 5

    Ageing and final check

    Units sit on ageing racks for the burn-in hours the plan sets, and a final functional check is signed by name before the batch is released to the packing hall. No signature, no release.

  6. 6

    Packing and dispatch

    Units are scanned into inner and master cartons while labels print with the date code, and the dispatch note matches the order line. A dead-on-arrival return later is booked against the same codes.

Modules

What is inside.

Every module can be switched on, left out or changed to match how your team already works.

Models and variants

Hold each model once, with colour, plug, battery and carton variants beneath it, so a change to the parent PCB reaches every variant while a new bezel colour touches only that colour.

Bills of materials and costing

Cost each model from the latest purchase rate of every chip, cell and housing, and see the margin on a dealer price before the order is accepted.

SMT run records

Capture stencil, paste lot, feeder setup and reflow profile for every run, with boards in, boards out and AOI rejects counted at pick-and-place, reflow and inspection. Operators key counts as they go.

Reel and floor-life control

Log receipt of reels and trays, the moment a dry bag is cut, and the floor-life hours left against the limit for that chip. Parts due for baking are held back from the kit.

Test, ageing and repair bench

Record jig results, burn-in hours and fault codes by unit or batch. Failed boards go to the repair bench, and the cause is kept for the yield report by line, jig and model.

Carton and pallet packing

Scan units into inner and master cartons, print labels with model and date code, and build pallets whose contents are known down to the unit.

Brand and dealer orders

Capture orders by model and variant with delivery dates and retailer-specific packing, and show dispatches against each order line with the balance quantities.

Warranty and returns desk

Book a returned unit by date code, record the fault and the action, and raise a credit note or a replacement. Faults grouped by run go to the quality team for a corrective note.

Outside assembly and subcontract

Send kits for contract SMT, plastic injection or cable assembly to an outside party under a dispatch note, receive the product against it, and match defects and charges.

Purchasing and approved parts

Compare chip and connector quotes, order from approved distributors, and plan buys against the run schedule. Reels land before the planned date, and a late crystal oscillator is seen weeks ahead.

Invoices and accounts export

Dealers abroad are billed in their own money and tax rules; the entries then pass into the accounts package you already use.

Solutions inside

The business modules it is built from.

Each one is also available on its own, or inside a system built for you.

  • Bill of Materials

    Every chip and housing carries its latest purchase rate, so a model’s cost, with colour and plug variants included, is visible before any dealer price is agreed with the buyer.

  • Production Planning

    Brand orders by model and colour are set against stock of PCBs, housings and cartons, and the planner fixes the sequence of runs by line.

  • Work Order Management

    A run order opens with its stencil, paste lot and feeder setup, and boards in, out and rejected are counted at pick-and-place, reflow and AOI.

  • Batch and Serial Tracking

    The date code on a returned carton opens the production lot behind it, with panel lot, housing moulder and ageing rack recorded beside it.

  • Quality Control

    Jig results, burn-in hours and a signed functional check are held per batch, and fault codes send rejected boards to the repair bench.

  • Barcodes and Labels

    Inner and master carton labels print with model, colour and date code, and scanning each unit into its carton keeps the count exact all the way up to the pallet.

  • Job Work Management

    Kits sent for contract SMT or moulding leave on a dispatch note, and returned product is matched to it with defects and charges recorded.

  • Sales Returns and Credit Notes

    A dead-on-arrival unit is booked in with its fault, and the action taken becomes a credit note or a replacement order.

Services

How we would put it in.

Setup, data migration, integrations and anything built on top.

Who uses it

One system, each person sees their part.

For owners and plant managers

Watch runs, yield by model, orders due and returns by lot from a phone. No calls to three supervisors.

For production planners

Match brand orders against stock of PCBs, housings and cartons, then set the order of runs line by line so that one changeover serves two similar models.

For line supervisors and operators

Record counts and rejects at the station, scan cartons, and see the model now on the line, using three screens that cover the whole job without a manual.

For the quality and service teams

Trace a returned date code to its run, read the ICT and ageing results, and group faults by supplier lot or by solder paste batch. Patterns appear quickly.

For purchasing and stores

Receive reels, log the cut of every dry bag, issue kits, and see which connectors or lithium cells will fall short for the next run before the buyer is asked.

Common questions

Questions owners ask before a demo.

How do colour and plug variants work?

A model has one parent bill, and colour, plug and market variants sit beneath it and change only the parts that differ. Orders pick the variant, and the line is told which housing, adaptor and carton to pull. Nothing is copied by hand.

Is the floor life of opened moisture-sensitive parts tracked?

Yes. Cutting a dry bag is logged with its time, and the hours left count down against the limit for that part. A chip past its limit is held and marked for baking before it can be kitted.

How does a return lead back to a production run?

The date code printed on the carton opens the run record. From it you read the panel lot, ICT results, ageing rack and housing moulder for that batch, which narrows a field failure to one cause.

Can it print carton labels with barcodes?

Yes. Labels carry model, colour, date code and barcode, and print at the packing table. Scanning every unit into its carton keeps the packed count exact, from the inner box up through the master carton to the pallet.

Does it work with an outside SMT assembler?

Yes. Kits go out under a dispatch note and boards come back against it with defects and charges recorded. Your own line and the contract assembler then sit side by side in the first-pass yield report.

What about brand-specific packing instructions?

Each brand or retailer can carry its own carton artwork, manual and label layout, and the packing screen shows the instruction that belongs to the order being packed. A white-label pack is checked against its own box before it leaves.

Is a model costed before an order is accepted?

The bill uses the latest purchase rate of each part, so a model’s cost is visible while the quotation is still being typed. Rates move as new purchase invoices are recorded against reels and housings.

How long does it take to learn on the line?

Operators use three screens: count, reject, scan. Supervisors and planners get fuller views, and floor staff learn at their own workstation during normal shifts, so the SMT line never stops for a class.

What happens to our records if we leave?

Models, bills, run history and returns can be exported as spreadsheets; the handover format, including date code and serial columns, is agreed in the written proposal.
