How Do We Prevent SMT Component Misplacement in PCBA Manufacturing?

Effective prevention of component misplacement minimizes the risk of defects in the final product.

For our overseas clients and customers, product managers and engineers, procurement and supply chain managers, we are here to share detailed information about our quality control measures in six steps to ensure quality and reliability:

1. First Article Inspection (FAI)

We check the first piece of each new batch to catch any issues early. We do this when:

1. We start a new product;
2. There’s a shift change;
3. We make a new version of the same product;
4. We adjust equipment settings;
5. For big batches, we inspect every 4 hours.

2. Strengthening IPQC Online Material Verification

We pay close attention to material changes to avoid errors:

1. We immediately record and notify IPQC when materials change;
2. We use special equipment to test electrical performance and ensure everything is up to spec;
3. We follow clear inspection steps, with experienced staff doing the checks.

3. Proper Material Storage and Management

We keep materials organized to prevent mistakes:

1. We make sure everything is properly packaged, labeled, and stored;
2. During clean-ups, IPQC verifies that all components are correctly replenished.

4. Personnel Training and Operating Standards

We train our staff thoroughly:

1. Training covers component identification, soldering, and how to operate machinery;
2. We improve teamwork and communication and have a system for handling errors.

5. Introduction of Automated Equipment and Visual Inspection Systems

We use advanced technology to get it right:

1. Automation reduces human errors and ensures consistent quality;
2. Visual inspection systems use cameras to spot and correct mistakes quickly.

6. Establishing a Quality Management System

We have a solid system to monitor and improve our process:

1. We have detailed quality control plans and keep thorough records;
2. We track critical details like material changes and first-piece inspections;
3. We constantly improve our system to keep misplacements to a minimum.

By implementing these six measures, we ensure stable and reliable SMT processing quality, maintain product quality and delivery timelines, and enhance customer satisfaction.

This openness strengthens your confidence in our ability to deliver quality products consistently.
