An ICT solution seems to be overkill for what you've described. What kind of volumes are you hand building? How many components are not marked? What is your current yield with the process you are using? What is/was your yield prior to implementing m

We are currently checking parts on our boards with a digital multimeter to make sure values are correct. This process takes a large amount of time and is very in accurate Can someone please recommend a low capital budget system that is good and repea

The process is currently being performed by hand. I am trying to automate the process by switching to pick and place equipment and using AOI. Problem number one is getting my customer to sign off on switching from hand assembly to machine assembly.

Reese, We would agree about the value of an ICT system, in a general manufacturing environment. However, a couple of notes apply: 1. ICT isn't a catch-all, either, and should be used to verify the process, not validate it. Quality should be buil

I need to clarify something for everyone. The end customer is the Military. Our customers are military suppliers who do in fact have quality systems in place. When we build the product we end up potting the unit so the customer never looks at the ele

We are not a contract manufacturer we are in fact a OEM. our product is used for military systems. The reason no values are on the parts is because the orginal owner of the product did not want anyone to steal the values and make their own version of
