Assembly inspection can verify visible part presence, orientation, placement and surface condition. Images do not directly prove internal connections, tightening torque or function. Robot picking supports handling and must not be presented as an AOI inspection capability or accuracy specification.
How to validate
Define what each station can see, decide and reject along the assembly sequence. Test occlusion, reflection, colour variants and fixture repeatability, then combine results with functional tests.
This is a general industrial-vision evaluation guide, not a delivered IRIS ANT PCBA AOI case study or a standard machine configuration. The station must be qualified for the parts, optics and automation requirements.
Project evaluation checklist
- Define the item, visible inspection surfaces and minimum defects; separate appearance, internal structure and electrical or functional checks.
- Prepare verified good, defective and borderline samples across lots; separate training and acceptance sets.
- Report escapes and false calls by defect class, with review workload, complete cycle time and repeatability.
- Confirm program versions, permissions, retention and traceability fields; approve production only after trials pass.
