Manufacturing · PCB Assembly Company Management Software

One system for bills of materials, reels, line runs, inspection and test.

Manage assembly enquiries, quotations, bills of materials, component purchase, reel receipts, kitting, paste printing, placement, reflow, optical inspection, test, rework and delivery in one system. Each lot keeps the reels, solder paste jar, stencil and pick-and-place program that built it. Stores, the line, quality and the office read one lot record. A field failure traces back through it.

Changes to lot reports and test fields handled by GullySystem staff on request

Surface mount and through-hole contract assemblers keep quotations, bills of materials, reel lots, kitting, line runs and test in one system, configured by GullySystem to their lines. Each lot carries the component reels, solder paste, stencil and program that built it. Test failures and rework stay on the lot, and shortages show before the line starts.

Where it breaks today

What goes wrong before the software.

Bills of materials arrive in many shapes

Customers send lists with shifting column orders, alternates hidden in a comment and reference designators merged into one cell, such as C1-C9, so the buyer retypes every line. Nobody trusts the result.

Reels cannot be followed to a lot

Partly used reels go back on shared shelves and onto feeders in whatever order the setup needs. After a field failure, nobody can say which reel and date code went into which board. The trail ends at the shelf.

Process materials expire quietly

Solder paste has a shelf life and an open time on the stencil, flux and adhesive have their own, and a stencil wears with every squeegee stroke. None of it appears on the lot that used it.

Moisture-sensitive parts outlast their floor life

Ball grid arrays and fine-pitch chips wait in open trays beside the line, and the clerk who kits them cannot see how many hours they have been out of the dry bag. Baking is decided by memory.

Quoted yield differs from actual yield

Estimators assume a first-pass rate per board type, while the real figure sits in the in-circuit test and optical inspection logs. Margin on repeat boards is a guess. Nobody reopens the quote after the lot ships.

Customer-supplied parts mix with owned stock

Consigned reels sit on the same shelf as bought ones, so counts at the end of a build do not match. The dispute begins with a missing 0402 resistor and a customer who counted differently.

How it runs

How the work flows through it, step by step.

1
Enquiry and quotation
The customer’s bill of materials is loaded and priced with component cost, stencil, line time and test. Alternates are flagged for the customer’s approval before the quote goes out.
2
Purchase and receipt
Missing parts are ordered. Reels are received with supplier lot, date code and moisture sensitivity level, and sensitive devices go to the bake queue before they reach a shelf or a feeder.
3
Kitting
A job kit is counted against the bill of materials, line by line, and shortages are listed by reference designator. The job is released only when the kit is complete or the customer approves it short.
4
Print, place and reflow
The stencil, paste jar, feeder setup, placement program and reflow profile are recorded for the lot. Boards pass solder paste inspection before placement. Automated optical inspection checks them again after the oven.
5
Through-hole, test and rework
Hand-inserted and wave-soldered parts are logged against the lot. In-circuit and functional tests record results by board serial, and failures go to the rework bench with a record of the fault.
6
Pack and deliver
Shipping paperwork states boards built, scrapped and shipped, and names the reel lots consumed. The certificate of conformance is printed from the same lot. Nothing is retyped.

Modules

What is inside.

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

Enquiries and quotations

Price an assembly from bill of materials cost, stencil, feeder setup, line time, test and assumed first-pass yield, and keep every revision of the quote for the next repeat order.

Bills of materials and alternates

Hold reference designators, quantity per board, approved alternates and revision letter, and flag a substitution that the customer has not approved before the kit is pulled.

Component purchase and receipt

Raise orders for shortages, record reels received with supplier lot, date code and moisture class, and send sensitive parts to the bake oven before they reach a shelf.

Reel and lot traceability

Link each reel to the assembly lot that consumed it, so a field return leads to the exact supplier lots and date codes on that board.

Kitting and shortages

Count a kit against the bill of materials, show which reference designators are short, and hold the job until parts arrive or the customer signs off a short kit.

Paste, stencil and bake logs

Record paste jar open life, stencil print count and the out-of-bag hours of moisture-sensitive devices against each lot, with a warning as a limit nears.

Line setup library

Store feeder positions, placement program and reflow profile for each board, so a repeat lot loads a proven setup instead of a fresh trial-and-error one.

Inspection, test and rework

Every AOI, X-ray and in-circuit result is filed under the board serial, next to the defect, the part swapped and the technician who reworked it.

Consigned stock

Keep customer-supplied reels apart from owned stock, with counts received, consumed and returned, and the overage left on the shelf after the build.

Lot reports and delivery

Print the lot report, packing list and delivery note, showing boards built, scrapped and shipped, with the reel lots behind each board.

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
Reference designators, quantity per board and approved alternates sit on a revisioned list, and an unapproved substitute is flagged at kitting.
Goods Receipt (GRN)
Reels are received with supplier lot, date code and moisture class, checked against the purchase order, and sensitive devices go to the bake queue.
Batch and Serial Tracking
Each reel links to the assembly lots that used it, so one returned board leads to the exact component lots and date codes on it.
Stock Tracking and Alerts
A kit is counted against the list, short reference designators are shown by line, and reorder alerts fire for passives like 0402 resistors that run out often.
Work Order Management
A lot opens on a line with its stored feeder positions, placement program and reflow profile, then moves on to inspection and test.
Quality Control
AOI and test outcomes are logged by board serial, with the defect, the part replaced and the operator who reworked it.
Estimate/Quotation Management
A quotation is priced from component cost, stencil, setup, line time and test, with an assumed yield and every revision kept.
Warehouse Management
Customer-supplied reels are held by location apart from owned stock, with counts received, consumed and returned for each customer.

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 estimators

Load a customer’s list, check alternates against the approved vendor list, and quote from the first-pass yield of earlier lots of the same board.

For stores and kitting

Book in incoming reels, work through the bake queue, pick kits to the bill of materials and raise any missing part before the job goes to the line. Counting happens once.

For line leaders

Open the proven setup for a board, log the paste jar and stencil, and see the job queue for each line and shift.

For inspection and test

Record AOI and test findings, route failed boards to rework and sign the lot for packing once the defect list is clear.

For the owner

Watch jobs held for parts, yield by board type and margin on repeat builds, without asking a supervisor for a sheet.

Reports

Made to fit

Adapted to your business before it goes live.

You are not handed a login and left to it. The product is set up around your records, your people and the tools you already use.

Bill of materials import

The layouts your customers send are mapped one by one, so a list with merged designators loads without being retyped.

Line and process fields

Your lines, reflow ovens, stencil types and paste brands are set as lists, and logs ask only for what you record.

Moisture classes and bake rules

Exposure hours out of the dry bag and oven bake times per moisture sensitivity level are entered to match your written handling procedure.

Stock and jobs migrated

Stock on the shelves, jobs in progress and customer part numbers are imported from the lists you keep today.

Common questions

Questions owners ask before a demo.

Can we load a customer’s list from a spreadsheet?

Yes. The columns are mapped once for each customer layout. After that a new list, even one with ranges like R10-R24 in a single cell, loads in one step with no retyping.

What does reel traceability store?

The supplier, supplier lot, date code and quantity of each reel, and the assembly lots that drew from it. A returned board leads straight to those reels and their paperwork.

Does it follow the moisture-sensitive part life?

It records when a bag was opened, the exposure hours and the bake. Limits come from the moisture sensitivity level you enter for each part, and your quality lead confirms them before use.

Can several customers’ parts sit in one stores?

Yes. Consigned parts carry the customer’s name and are kept apart from owned stock. Counts received, used and returned can be sent to the customer when the build closes.

Is machine program control included?

No. The pick-and-place machine and the reflow oven run their own programs. The system stores which program and profile ran for a lot and holds the files.

How does test failure analysis work?

Each failed board is logged with the fault, the reference designator and the repair. Repeated failures at one position show in the defect report, which points back to a feeder, a stencil aperture or a part lot.

Can past jobs be brought in?

Customers, part numbers and open jobs come from your sheets. Past lot histories can be loaded if they sit in a structured file, such as a test log export.

What does it cost?

Price follows lines, test stations and users. First we run a demonstration using one of your boards, and the quotation is sent in writing afterwards.
