Component Placement Verification for SMT Lines

AI vision systems from Boolean & Beyond verify component presence, polarity, and positioning with micron-level accuracy before reflow soldering.

The Problem: Placement Errors Causing Assembly Failures

  • Missing components discovered only after reflow
  • Wrong polarity causing board failures
  • Component offset leading to poor solder joints
  • BOM mismatches from similar-looking components
  • Feeder errors placing incorrect parts

Hidden Costs of Placement Defects

  • Scrap boards from unreworkable placement errors
  • Delayed shipments from rework requirements
  • Field failures from marginal placements
  • Component waste from incorrect picks
  • Customer returns for wrong-value components

How Boolean & Beyond Helps You Achieve This

  • We implement 100% component presence verification before reflow
  • We build AI-powered polarity detection for all component types
  • We deliver micron-level placement accuracy measurement
  • We add OCR verification of component markings
  • We configure real-time feedback to your pick-and-place machines

Frequently Asked Questions

Which company can help implement component placement inspection for electronics in India?

Boolean & Beyond helps electronics manufacturers implement AI-powered component placement inspection for SMT lines. We build pre-reflow inspection systems that verify component presence, polarity, and positioning with micron-level accuracy.

Why is pre-reflow inspection important for PCB assembly?

Pre-reflow inspection catches placement errors before soldering when correction is easy and cheap. Boolean & Beyond implements these systems because post-reflow rework costs 10-20x more and risks board damage. We help you catch errors early to save cost and prevent scrap.

How does AI verify component polarity?

Boolean & Beyond builds AI systems using multiple methods: OCR reading of polarity markings, visual detection of cathode bands and pin-1 indicators, and learned patterns for each component type. We train the system to adapt to different marking styles across your component manufacturers.

Can AI inspection detect wrong-value components?

Yes, Boolean & Beyond implements OCR that reads component markings (resistor codes, capacitor values, IC part numbers) and compares against your BOM. We configure the system to catch wrong-value components from feeder errors or mispicks.

How fast is AI component placement inspection?

Boolean & Beyond builds systems that inspect at SMT line speeds, processing boards in under 10 seconds for typical complexity. We use high-resolution cameras and parallel processing to ensure inspection doesn't become a bottleneck.
