AOI Inspection

Define the visual features, exception review and records needed at the AOI checkpoint.

Review AOI requirementsView the SMT process
VISIBLE FEATURES

Focus the inspection reference.

Presence
Identify populated positions and intentional exclusions in the released assembly definition.
Position & orientation
Supply references for placement and orientation where these are relevant to the inspection.
Visible condition
Agree which accessible assembly features are within the inspection scope.

A flagged observation needs a review path.

Automated inspection output is part of the review process. Define how an observation is evaluated, resolved and recorded.

  1. 01

    Identify

    Connect the observation to a board revision and inspected feature.

  2. 02

    Evaluate

    Compare the observation with the agreed reference and acceptance criteria.

  3. 03

    Close the action

    Record the disposition and any required rework or follow-up verification.

Keep the reference and the result connected.

Discuss the level of inspection recording the project requires, including the information needed to revisit an exception.

  • Assembly revision and inspection reference.
  • Applicable criteria and scope of the review.
  • Observation, disposition and follow-up action where required.

COVERAGE BOUNDARY

Visible inspection is not functional proof.

Hidden connections and electrical behavior may require other methods. Confirm the combination against your design.
