- FOS® FANCORT OPERATING SYSTEM
What is FOS?
FOS® (Fancort Operating System)
Empowering Precision and Efficiency in Automation
The Fancort® Operating System (FOS) is the heart of Fancort Industries' cutting-edge automation technology. Designed with the user in mind, FOS leverages the power of Sequential Function Chart (SFC) technology, offering a highly intuitive interface for configuring and optimizing a wide range of automation applications. FOS is seamlessly integrated with Fancort’s advanced robotic soldering and dispensing equipment, making it the ideal choice for industries demanding precision and efficiency, such as electronics, aerospace, automotive, and medical manufacturing. What sets FOS apart is its compatibility with Japan Unix's soldering management software, elevating its capabilities in automated soldering processes. This powerful integration enables sophisticated automation in tasks like robotic soldering, dispensing, and inspection, driving productivity while ensuring consistent, high-quality results across your production line.
With FOS you can
• Real-time monitoring of the SFC's diagrams to trace the process.
• Interact with the I/O panel to manipulate digital/analog signals in real-time.
• Simplistic teaching mode - Effectively tackle high-mix manufacturing with the touch of a button.
• Customize user profiles with preset access levels such as Engineering, maintenance, and operators.
• Live Datalogging, the FOS® automatically creates text files that contain information about machine status, traceability features, process parameters, alarms, error codes, and failures.
POWER YOUR PROCESS
Power Your Process With Different App Views
Status
The main view of the modules, trace OEE, cycle time, OK/NOK statistics, process camera, inspection camera, scanner data, and any connected device overview.
Process
Sequential function chart view, real-time monitoring of the process. Parallel SFC execution allows running the sequences simultaneously with independent tracing.
I/O
View and interact with the digital/analog inputs and outputs of the application, which helps operate the machine manually and validate independent signal status..
Program
Create, configure, and set any programs as the process requires; you can easily manipulate settings, save the program, and load programs for "High Mix" processes.
Devices
Change the different settings of the machine's connected devices, similar to programs you can manipulate and store the settings at any time.
System
Manage users, change interface settings, configure the tower light behavior, and set the MES tracking parameters.
Logs
Logs and stores everything with date: Alarms, interface manipulation, MES data, vision results, production, exceptions. Quickly access the logs by date, then copy/paste them into a folder.
Help
Review machine documentation inside the app. Easily add yours; just add the files into the application's help folder.
What makes FOS better than our competitors?
Powerful Interface
.NET Development opens the door to limitless UI capabilities. Simplistic development vs. PLC technology. The FOS UI is scalable to fit a variety of displays and is fully integrated with touchscreen capabilities in mind.
Industry 4.0 - IIOT Powered by Fancort
The FOS® contains all essential technologies and properties for applications in the Industry 4.0 / IIOT environments. This makes the FOS® the ideal tool for an all-in-one automation solution. Seamless integration of IT, and Internet connectivity, allows FOS to be controlled from handheld devices such as a smartphone.
FOS Industrial Protocols
.NET software versatility allows devices to connect with industrial protocols; Fancort's software engineers connect and adapt different devices to integrate a complete automated solution selecting the best hardware for your process.
Production data storage – MES / ERP
Storing and processing Big Data is integrated into the FOS. Easily offload collected data acquired from the processes with minimal steps. FOS manages the communication and sends the selected data in multiple formats, including FTP, SAP, and JSON. Custom communication is available upon request.

Soldering Manager® synced with FOS®
The Soldering Manager Software from Japan Unix is a comprehensive tool designed for the management and automation of soldering robots. It facilitates real-time monitoring and data collection of soldering operations, making it easier to manage and optimize the soldering process. The software continuously monitors the status of soldering robots, collecting data on various parameters such as heater temperature, solder feed amount, and operation cycles. This data can be used to improve process efficiency and product quality. It automatically collects and stores operational data. This data can be visualized through graphs and charts, aiding in the analysis and identification of trends or issues. The software supports the integration of soldering operations with IoT systems, allowing for advanced automation and remote monitoring. It keeps track of alarm histories and maintenance records, helping managers to promptly address any issues and maintain optimal performance. The Soldering Manager is compatible with various types of robotic soldering systems, including contact, inline, laser, and gantry soldering robots. It can connect to factory networks and external devices, enhancing its versatility and functionality. Overall, the Soldering Manager Software helps streamline soldering operations, reduce downtime, and improve productivity by leveraging automation and real-time data analysis
