Inspection
Optical inspection looks at every joint. The station records what the machine found, what the operator decided, and what happened to every defect.
Where the data comes from
- Camera head
- Every call is stored with its image, position and component reference.
- Review station
- The operator verdict is recorded with who made it and when.
What we record at AOI-1
Example values from the demo board KRZ-0917-00042. The source says where each fact comes from: the machine itself, a scan, an operator or the MES.

Checks at this station
Rules the station applies before a board moves on. Which ones run on your line is agreed with production and quality.
- Repeated defects stop the line
- A blocking rule can hold the line over SMEMA when the same defect repeats on consecutive boards.
- Repairs on record
- A repair is recorded with what was done and who did it, and the board’s next inspection follows it.
In the manufacturing record
This is the line the station adds to the record of the board, the same record that follows it through the whole line.
