Placement
The placer puts dozens of parts from dozens of reels on every board. The station records which program ran and which reel lot went into which position.
Where the data comes from
- Reels and feeders
- Each reel lot is tied to its slot and to the parts placed from it.
- Placement head
- Parts placed and pick rejects, per board.
- Operator screen
- Shows the running program and the reel lots in use.
What we record at PP-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.
- The right program
- The program the placer reports is compared with the work order; a mismatch can stop the line.
- Rejects by slot
- Pick rejects are counted per feeder slot, so a failing feeder shows up before it costs a shift.
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.
