Total Traceability

In 2003, traceability might have been considered a WIP history report of a unit and 'time-based' traceability of the component lots believed to be used on that unit. Today, the regulatory requirements for traceability, as well as the internal requirements of world-class OEMs, are far more comprehensive and detailed. Concepts such as "traceability in SMT placement" or "lots believed to be on the unit" or "time based traceability" no longer overcome the traceability challenge. Precise traceability of components and materials and traceability across the lines and out through test and inspection is the challenge today.

Today, traceability requires total integration to the product design, process design, materials information, and the real-time data streams across the route from start to test to packout. It requires the total product experience, contents, and all the variables from the surrounding processes involved in its manufacture, test, and shipment. Aegis solutions deliver such "Total Traceability".

UNIQUE TRACEABILITY ADVANTAGES
YOU CAN DELIVER TO CUSTOMERS

  • Data Scope: Only Aegis provides a single, out-of-the-box solution that extends the concept of traceability across process, assembly, placement, reflow, dispensing, inspection, repair, test, diagnostics, insertion, wave, hand operations, box build, final integration and packout.

  • Data Precision: Aegis provides precise component-to-lot traceability on more makes and models of assembly machines than any other software vendor--and it is achieved without invasive hardware technologies.

  • Data Depth: Aegis traceability includes not only the movement and experience of the product through the route, but all materials used either on the product or in its processing, as well as the process variables that emerge from all machines involved in its manufacture or test.

THE OUTPUTS OF TOTAL TRACEABILITY
YOU CAN DELIVER TO CUSTOMERS

Reverse Traceability Report:

  • All units containing a particular lot and part number component, or units processed with a particular lot consumable or tool.

Product and Process Traceability Report:

  • BOM and Process revision records.

  • Electronic approval records of BOM and Process reviews with feedback notes and reviewer authentication.

  • Process deviations released during the production of that unit.

  • WIP history complete with logged operator at each station.

  • Panel to image ID map records.

  • Pallet to panel or image ID map records.

  • Component part number and lot records of reference designator to image to lot.

  • 'From-To' Lot records for components removed and replaced in-process.

  • Part number and lot records for all tools, chemicals, and consumables used in the processing of the unit.

  • Pre-production operator checklist confirmation per station.

  • False positive inspections records and station.

  • Rework and repair to connection level records.

  • Unresolved defects at time of report generation.

  • Measurement data records for all measurements derived from any process or test equipment in the route.

  • Symptom/Defect records from ICT and functional test results and diagnostics.

  • Parametric operator data collection (such as trim settings, adjustments, specially serialized components, etc.) from each station applicable in the route.

  • Process alarms emerging from any machine in the route while the unit was within it's transfer zones.

  • Process events emerging from any machine in the route while the unit was within it's transfer zones.

  • Assembly children unit numbers and serial numbers.

  • SPC metrics of any measurement data in-process such as reflow oven or thermal profiling data sets such as maximum zone temperature, soak duration, oxygen levels, etc.
