This bachelor's thesis concerns a PCB handler software productization project. The objectives set at the beginning of the project included the update of a PCB handler’s HMI and PLC programs along with the review and revision of associated documentation.

The purpose of the HMI update was to enhance the machine’s GUI usability, further develop its HMI software based on development done on a more advanced M-series machine’s HMI and enable the future integration of a HMI with a larger screen size to the PCB handler. The updates were carried out in the Beijer iX Developer development environment.

The aim of the PLC program update was to further develop the software based on work done on a more advanced M-series PCB handler, previously made development notes and things noted during testing and development of the program. Software development was done using Omron CX-Programmer.

The machine’s flowcharts and the operator level user manual were updated to match current machine functionality.

The bachelor’s thesis report contains details on the project’s definition, planning, execution and results alongside the theory, equipment and tools used to carry it out.

As a result of the software productization project the machine’s PLC and HMI software were updated to match the latest functionalities according to defined references, the machine’s flowcharts now match its functionality and the user manual is ready to be updated based on the compilation document.
