Solution

Material and defect control in SMT production

paste has limited life; defect is not reliably linked to paste batch, print, profile, and specific panel.

← Back to solutions

Sector

C26 electronic components and board manufacturing.

INDICATIVE NACE CODE

Process

solder paste printing → placement → reflow → automatic optical inspection → test → repair.

Problem

paste has limited life; defect is not reliably linked to paste batch, print, profile, and specific panel.

What the solution includes

paste QR identity; cameras; printer, pick-and-place, reflow and AOI data; panel–paste–profile–defect; QMS and ERP material report.

What changes

fewer scrapped boards, paste and electronic components.

How the result is measured

What we measure
% panels scrapped after AOI and test
Baseline
AOI/QMS records
Target
AFTER DIAGNOSTICafter cause analysis
Evidence
panel ID, machine profile, defect code.

Business effect

early detection of unstable process and fewer lost high-value components.

Component parts

Physical assets

ДМА — SMT and inspection equipment

Software and integration

ДНА — batch traceability and defect analysis.

Indicative investment

The concrete value is set per client after technical design and current quotations.

Who does what

PixelAutomate

EvroPixel builds the material–process–defect link.

Required partners

SMT technologist, line supplier, machine-vision integrator.

What to keep in mind

machine data access; defect class reliability; electronic scrap must be reported as material result, not only OEE.

Link to a funding programme

There is no open funding programme linked to this solution. When a new procedure opens, we check its conditions against your company and project.

Scope and clarifications

The intended result is verified with data from your process rather than assumed in advance. For a funded project, your SME is the beneficiary. PixelAutomate is the brand under which we work. The contracting company is identified in the quotation, contract, and invoice.
