CoreGrit for PCB / PCBA / SMT

Connect SPI, AOI, ICT, FCT and MES around the board. See first-pass yield, defect and process drift as they develop, then act on the feeder, profile, component lot or inspection route.

The application

Connect SPI, AOI, ICT, FCT and MES around the board. See first-pass yield, defect and process drift as they develop, then act on the feeder, profile, component lot or inspection route.

CoreGrit for PCB / PCBA / SMT is the CoreGrit application for electronics assembly. Inspection, test, placement and MES records are brought together around the board and the panel, so first-pass yield loss is explained by the process condition, feeder or component lot that produced it — while the material is still in the line.

The problem

Where board value leaks

  1. First-pass yield loss with no traceable cause

    Yield is reported by line and shift, but the placement, profile or inspection condition behind the loss is argued from experience rather than read from the data.

  2. Defect and rework recorded but not correlated

    SPI, AOI, ICT and FCT each hold part of the defect story, and nothing joins them to the same board, feeder and period.

  3. Process drift across shifts and changeovers

    Paste, profile and placement conditions move slowly enough to pass each check and still cost yield by the end of the run.

  4. Component and supplier lot risk found after assembly

    A suspect lot becomes visible once the boards are built, so containment is broad instead of targeted.

The capability

What CoreGrit puts in their hands

Line and site view

Current state of every line, station and panel in one operating picture, across one site or several.

Defect and root-cause correlation

Defect and test results correlated with placement, profile, feeder and component lot for the same period.

Traceable action and rework closure

The response reaches the responsible role with a due time, and rework is closed against a verified yield result.

Connect → Contextualise → Detect → Decide → Improve

  1. ConnectSPI, AOI, ICT, FCT and MES, with controlled manual inputs where a check is still on paper.
  2. ContextualiseRecords mapped to the board, panel, feeder, station, shift and component lot.
  3. DetectFirst-pass yield, DPMO, defect Pareto and rework calculated against the configured control logic.
  4. DecideFeeder, profile, component lot or inspection route action assigned, escalated and verified.

Inside PCB / PCBA / SMT

Four capability areas, deployed together or one at a time

Start with the module that covers your biggest gap and extend across the layer as the pilot proves out.

  1. Line and Site Visibility

    Line, station and panel state with the process context attached.

  2. Yield and Defect Intelligence

    First-pass yield, DPMO, defect Pareto and rework on trusted source data.

  3. Root-Cause Correlation

    Inspection and test results correlated with process and material conditions.

  4. Action and Rework Closure

    Owner, due time, escalation and verified before-and-after yield.

Before you ask

Common questions

Anything else is a good use of the 30-minute operational diagnostic.

Does this replace our MES or inspection systems?

No. CoreGrit works above SPI, AOI, ICT, FCT, MES and ERP and adds the context, calculation and workflow layer between them and the operating decision.

Is this a separate platform from CoreGrit?

No. This is CoreGrit configured for PCB, PCBA and SMT assembly. The platform, connectivity and workflow foundation are the same across every sector.

What if some inspection data is still manual?

Controlled manual inputs are part of the connectivity layer, so a check that is still on paper can be captured in the same process context as the automated sources.

How do we start?

With one process, one problem and the data already available — most often a single line and its first-pass yield loss. The diagnostic maps the decision gap and the value case.

What are hidden operational losses costing you?

Start with one process, one problem and the data already available. We will help map the decision gaps and the value case.
