Description

Automatic comparison system and its operation method

The present invention relates to an automatic alignment system and method thereof, and more particularly to an automatic alignment system and method for Surface Mount Technology (SMT).

In the surface adhesion technology process, it is generally necessary to make a process program according to the bill of materials a few days before the trial production or mass production, and the process data of the process program (for example: material number and bit number) must match the bill of materials. .

Therefore, in order to ensure that the production process is foolproof, the bill of materials and process data need to be compared. At present, the method adopted is manual comparison, that is, the material list and the process data are first printed separately, and then the alignment is marked one by one by the color pen. This manual comparison method is not only slow and inefficient, but also has a high rate of error.

In addition, on the day of trial production or mass production, temporary changes to the bill of materials are often made. Therefore, before the process, it is still necessary to compare the bill of materials with the process data again to eliminate any negligence and avoid errors in the process and flaws in the product.

However, if the method of manual comparison is used, it will not be possible to complete the comparison action in one and a half minutes, delaying the operation of the production line and increasing the production cost.

One aspect of the present invention provides an automatic comparison system for surface adhesion technology processes that automatically compares bill of materials to process data.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, an automatic comparison system for a surface adhesion technology process includes a database, a user interface, an analysis module, and an output module. The database is used to store at least one bill of materials and at least one process data of the surface adhesion technology process. The user interface is used to retrieve the bill of materials and process data from the database. A display device for displaying the user interface. The analysis module is used to compare the selected bill of materials with the process data to confirm whether they match each other. The output module is used to output an abnormality message when a mismatch occurs in the comparison process.

Another aspect of the present invention provides a method of operating an automatic comparison system for surface mount technology processes that automatically compares a bill of materials to process data.

According to another embodiment of the present invention, a method of operating an automatic comparison system includes the following steps. First, a material list and a process data of the surface adhesion technology process are taken from the database, wherein the database stores at least one material list and at least one process data. Then, based on the selected bill of materials and the process data, it is confirmed whether they match each other. Finally, an error message is output when a mismatch occurs during the comparison process.

In order to make the description of the present invention more complete and complete, reference is made to the accompanying drawings and the accompanying drawings. On the other hand, well-known elements and steps are not described in the embodiments to avoid unnecessarily limiting the invention.
