Process 1: PCB and Button Check
The AOI inspection is done by scanning the surface of the PCB board. The AOI
machine fitted with HD color cameras that scans the surface with high magnification
clearly showing on larger monitor screen the details of each section of PCB and
each component of each section. The camera captures the image of the PCB
surface through light source such as fluorescent or LED lights pcb or UV or infra-red
light.
The image is then compared with the pre-programmed data and fed in the memory
of AOI processing system. The final decision to declare the board to be faulty and
hence stop process depends on various algorithms running on AOI machine
depending on pixel counts and NCC values.
The operator of AOI machine also visually checks the images captured by AOI
machine on screen and hence can manually stop process as found necessary.
The AOI can be done before reflow to check for component placement, location and
status for example defects not related to soldering. The post reflow AOI identifies
defects in soldering joints, components and PCB board itself that may have caused
due to thermal dynamics of reflow oven

After the manufacturing process is completed, the packaging needs to be filled and
assembled. All good items will be identified by barcode. The function of barcode is to makes
the tracking of parts, equipment and finished products more transparent from the store to
line-side, assembly, production and out to market
