Abstract

The placement or insertion of surface mounted components is an essential stage in printed circuit board assembly (PCBA). A reduction in production time of placement through efficient process planning will significantly increase total yield of the whole line. CPS, a knowledge-based decision support system for component placement which incorporates optimisation algorithms, capable of the task, is presented. A case study is also presented
