Final Assembly Automation and Optimization
SOW Review
Project Scope
• Problem Statement – When automation or semi-automation of final assembly has been chosen, there are concerns
with cost, lead time and quality. There is a need to develop and understand best practices
that lead to an optimization of the final assembly process.
• Scope Statement– Develop a uniform set of guidelines, practices and recommendations for automation and
main/final assembly
• Flexibility is needed in reusability, redeployability and reconfigurability which are
potentially driven by shorter product lifecycles
– Definition of communication and interfaces among equipment is needed
• Between equipment and equipment
• Between equipment and its ancillary systems
• Description of Objective (What are the objectives that the project will cover)
– Investigate needed flexibility that minimizes cost and identify best practices
– Best Practices for design for automation = maximize continuous flow (where possible)
– Best Practices for design for building via assembly lines
– Best Practices for design for moving from one sub-assembly line to another as you build to
a final product
– Design guidelines for parts and their packaging

Project IS Project IS NOT
To ID/Develop Best Practices on assembly Development of a standard
Planning to share results via a white paper which may
lead to a standard developed by another organization
Circuit board assembly
Minimize custom development; choose off the shelf
solutions.
Only automated assembly
Industry agnostic Development of a universal automated cell
Consideration of Automated, Semi-automated final
assembly
Cost Benefit Analysis
Standard Final Assembly Processes: Pick and Place;
Parts Packaging; Parts Presentation; Dispensing;
Fastening; Press operations; Material Handling;
Marking and Labeling; Handling for Test;
Standard Final Assembly Processes: Testing and
Inspection; Surface Treatment/Preparation (includes
cleaning)
Manufacturing Volume/Mix Best Practices Environmental/Facility Considerations
Intelligent Sensing and Vision
Define communication and interfaces among
equipment
• Between equipment and equipment
• Between equipment and its ancillary systems

Notes/Comments
Pick and Place H, H, H, M, H
Dispensing H, H, M, H, H Our Automation team is working on the generic platform.
Fastening M, H, H, H, M Primarily screw driving and nut running; Our Automation team is working on the
generic platform.
Parts Presentation M, H, M, H, M
Press Operations M, L, H, L, H
Curing H, L, M, L, L
Material Handling L, H, L, H, M How a customers part is handled is sometimes a challenge due to lack of surfaces
that can be used to ride on a conveyor. Other times a pallet is used to lay out all
parts of the assembly (manually) and the equipment assembles on the board itself;
Method of handling, i.e. AGV, RFID
Test and Inspection L, L, L, M, H While the process itself is self contained entity, automating it as part of a line, at
times, is more a challenge; No standard of the material packaging
Surface Treatment/Prep L, L, L, L, M The requirement itself imposes an additional process step. It could perhaps be
avoided by alternate approaches to mating.
Marking and labeling M

Task List
Task 1 – Prioritize final assembly processes
Task 2 – Define common terms; examples of each assembly processes
Task 3 – Identify key metrics to standard assembly processes
Task 4a – Identify best practices for flexibility of the equipment that minimizes cost
Task 4b – Identify best practices for design for automation and building of final assembly
Task 5 – Design guidelines for parts and their packaging
Task 6 – Definition of communication and interfaces among equipment is needed
Task 7 – Socialize, gather feedback on draft findings
Task 8 – Develop a uniform set of guidelines, practices and recommendations for automation
and main/final assembly (Team output)

Key Project Considerations
• Who do we need to be participating to be successful? Companies, skills, industry
– Minimum required to be successful is a combination of OEM, EMS and ODM, totaling at least 6 member companies; testing companies would be a nice to have
– Who is the audience for the results? • Identified best practices should be for all iNEMI members.
• Developed recommendations for packaging are made public and will be shared with IPC or others to form the basis of a standard
• What costs might we incur – access to tools, standards?
– For the first phase of the project monetary contribution is not expected to be required.
– 1 hour meetings will take place every other week via webex
• What do we want to share (data wise)?
– We should be prepared to develop (at least) a white paper and presentation for iNEMImembers. Presenting at conferences, publications in magazines or online articles should also be considered.
– Identify aspects of final assembly that may lead to establishing guides/best practices that could become an aspect of future standards.
• What would the ideal outcome of the project be?
– A thorough understanding of best practices to facilitate the final assembly of electronics products documented in such a form that member companies can use it for training and reference. Also a published list of standard preferred packaging formats for the main categories of odd form components.
