Micro Project Report
“Automatic Electronic Components Assembly Machines”
1.0 Rationale:
The electronic assembly process, a critical stage in bringing electronic devices to life,
demands careful orchestration of various components and technologies. Whether you're a
seasoned professional or a newcomer to the field, mastering the fundamental steps in
electronic assembly is essential for producing reliable and high-performance electronic
devices. From the initial stages of circuit board assembly to the meticulous application of
solder paste, we explore the intricate landscape of PCB assembly, ensuring that each
electronic component seamlessly integrates into the final product. This article will guide
you through five straightforward yet crucial steps in the electronic assembly process.
From component placement to quality control, each stage plays a pivotal role in ensuring
the seamless integration of electronic elements.
2.0 Aims of the Micro-project:
The aim is to provide insights into how electronic systems can be optimally utilized to
improve the overall efficiency and effectiveness of disaster management strategies.
10
automation factors need to be merged to design responsive and efficient assembly systems. In
this field, Krüger et al. [34] stress as changeability and flexibility of modern assembly
processes ask for strong cooperation between the human operator and the automated
assembly system. They propose a survey about human-machine cooperation in assembly
systems, mapping the available technologies supporting the cooperation. Fast-Berglund et al.
[35] explore the relevant features of Industry 4.0 in the assembly field and perform a
literature review of the most relevant research contributions. The selected papers are
classified according to the topic they address is relevant to the human perspective, the
automation perspective or the integrated human-automation perspective. The findings of this
survey show the need to better understanding the requirements of the human and technology
components to best design, manage and spread into the industry, such as future assembly
systems. The studies proposed by Bortolini et al. [9] and Cohen et al. [36] study the impact of
Industry 4.0 elements on the design and management of advanced assembly systems.
Bortolini et al. [9] explore the evolution of the industrial scenario during the last three
centuries and describe the main technological innovations that enable the digitalization of the
assembly process. Cohen et al. [36] introduce a methodological framework to apply Industry
4.0 technologies and the reconfigurability attribute in existing production, i.e., manufacturing
and assembly, systems as well as in designing novel systems presenting an industrial case of
a refrigerator manufacturer. Sanderson et al. [25] stress the need for the definition of
behavioral approaches supporting the design of evolvable assembly systems, which rise as a
particular type of self-adaptive reconfigurable assembly systems. In particular, the Authors
propose an innovative design process for such systems, exploring how the system hardware
structure and its behavior are related to the system functions and demonstrate the validity of
their methodology through a real case study in the aerospace industry. Fletcher et al. [12]
state that future manufacturing and assembly systems should be designed and realized to
reach economic and social sustainability within volatile and dynamic conditions and for
adaptive utilization of human workers’ personal skills to guarantee high productivity targets
and job satisfaction. To reach this goal, the Authors perform a deep survey to determine the
main requirements needed to create this design framework for next-generation integrated
human-automation assembly systems. Faccio et al. [23] stress the crucial role of collaboration
in modern assembly, comparing the performances of traditional assembly systems with that
of collaborative systems. Results prove that collaboration acts as a relevant means to reduce
the assembly cycle time, increasing productivity.
The literature review shows the existence of a relevant number of theoretical studies on A3Ss
but a lack of design methodologies supporting their introduction in the industry. To fill this
gap, this study introduces a methodological framework supporting the design and validation
of A3Ss as innovative solutions joining the main benefits of both automated and manual
systems. Therefore, the engineering and testing of a prototypal full-scale A3S is proposed,
highlighting its benefits compared to traditional solutions.
11
of three main sections: (1) automated assembly systems, on the left, (2) MASs, on the right,
and (3) A3Ss, in the central part, as a joint paradigm.
Emerging factors such as variable market demand and batches, flexibility and increased
product customization and personalization characterize the upcoming Industry 4.0 era,
forcing industrial companies to reshape their practices in process and product design and
management [2]. In this context, production systems reaching significant levels of both
productivity and flexibility are a plus. A3Ss are an innovative class of MASs including higher
automation and collaboration levels to improve and increase the capabilities and skills of the
workers who perform the manual work [12]. Humans still represent one of the most flexible
components of assembly and manufacturing systems and new manufacturing and assembly
systems are designed not to remove but to support and guide them by implementing new
12
technologies, enhancing their skills and overcoming any limitation [40,41]. A3Ss rise as
integrated systems involving unheard requirements of socio-technical integration and
reconfigurability in which hardware, i.e., machines, controllers, sensors and actuators, and the
human contribution coexist to benefit of each other’s strengths. These goals are achieved
thanks to the adaptive and collaborative features of A3Ss, which allow the assembly system
to perform a real-time reconfiguration of its hardware structure, partially or totally in parallel
to the performance of the assembly tasks by the human worker, according to product input
data, e.g., work cycle, dimension, and human workers input data, e.g., anthropometric
measurements. Such a real-time reconfiguration together with the human contribution allows
reaching good performances in terms of productivity and flexibility as well as improvements
in the ergonomic work conditions. The next Section 4 exemplifies these concepts introducing
a prototypal full-scale A3S, i.e., SASAS.
Hardware Prototype
As stated in Section 2, the current literature is characterized by a lack of design
methodologies supporting the introduction of A3Ss in modern industrial companies. To fill
this gap, this section proposes a prototypal A3S, called SASAS, describing the main benefits,
i.e., increased flexibility and productivity standards, in comparison to the assembly
applications currently diffused and applied in industry. Next, Figure 2 and Figure 3 show the
Computer Aided Design (CAD) model, the 3D and the real image of the full-scale assembly
workstation.
13
Figure 2. Front and lateral Computer Aided Design (CAD) model of the Self-Adaptive Smart
Assembly System (SASAS) prototype [20].
Figure 3. 3D layout and real picture of the SASAS prototype: 1. Fast-picking zone for the
storage of the assembly parts; 2. Extendable supports of the main roller conveyor; 3. Lateral
roller conveyor; 4. Main roller conveyor (left), and a real image of the assembly prototype
(right). Motion axes: Lateral Extension (LE), Frontal Extension (FE), Vertical Extension
(VE).
The components required to assemble the product variants are located in a fast-picking zone
(1) composed of two main modules, which are able to flow along the two Cartesian axes,
performing symmetrical lateral extension (LE in Figure 3) and moving toward the human
worker (FE in Figure 3) to provide support and ease the picking phase. This element is a
relevant novelty because nowadays in industry, the assembly components are usually stored
behind the human worker, producing a significant walking time, repetitive movements and
uncomfortable postures, responsible for MSDs and stress. This design overcomes the
industrial practice allowing significantly reducing the movements made by the human
workers and, as consequence, reducing the overall picking time. In addition, the fast-picking
zone, together with its movements along the two Cartesian axes, i.e., LE and FE, avoid wrong
postures increasing the operator’s comfort and productivity.
Furthermore, the SASAS is characterized by three-roller conveyors, two lateral allowing the
product flow (3) and one centrally located devoted to the performance of the assembly tasks
by the human worker (4), which can translate vertically (VE in Figure 3). When the piece is
in (4), the central roller conveyor is locked by a set of spring-loaded components and an
intelligent mechanism allows its rotation. The prototype enables setting the height of the main
roller conveyor according to the anthropometric measurements of the worker, i.e., height, and
to the task to perform within the assembly process, e.g., in case of operations to perform on
the upper surface of a medium-large size product, the roller conveyor reaches an acceptable
position for the operator.
14
human workers to reconfigure in real-time the assembly system structure according to the
product characteristic, the work cycle and their anthropometric measurements, a GUI is
developed (Figure 4).
Figure 4. Graphic user interface (GUI) for the real-time control and reconfiguration.
In detail, the GUI is built through the Graphic User Interface Development Environment
(GUIDE) Matlab® toolbox and it guides the human workers in the real-time system self-
adaptability and reconfiguration, containing data and information about the work cycles of
the products realized by the industrial company and linking the assembly tasks to specific
reconfiguration movements of the assembly system structure. In this context, the SASAS acts
as a collaborative system: the reconfiguration of the hardware system structure is performed
partially or totally in parallel to the performance of the assembly tasks by the human worker,
guaranteeing savings in terms of reduced cycle time and increased productivity. In this way,
this paper overcomes the main limitations of the assembly prototype presented in [20], in
which the system reconfiguration was performed manually by the human operator,
necessarily increasing the product cycle time. Moreover, in the proposed GUI, the inclusion
of new products is possible guaranteeing flexibility. This feature is relevant because the
market asks for a wide number of customized variants. The developed GUI helps the workers
in managing modern variety allowing them to update or add easily new product work cycles,
choosing the right SASAS movements for reconfiguration.

Figure 5. Motion analysis system: (a) architecture of the system with cameras positioned; (b)
3D digital environment with the human operator.
A Wi-Fi network characterized by four depth cameras connected to dedicated laptops, i.e., a
master and three slaves, makes the hardware. The depth cameras adopted to develop the
motion analysis system are Microsoft Kinect v.2™, already successfully employed to track
human workers in industrial applications, characterized by a color RGB sensor and an IR
depth sensor. The software architecture to drive the dynamic evaluation of the assembly
operator is designed to provide the human body digitalization by using the network of depth
cameras and it is developed in Matlab® environment through the Image Acquisition toolbox.
Body digitalization is based on recording the movements of the skeleton collecting the 3-D
position of the human body joints over time. The required information to evaluate the
assembly process is the set of body joints and their positions, which represent the base to
analyze the performances, i.e., productive and ergonomic, of the assembly worker as well as
to perform the dynamic space analysis. In particular, the productive perspective is evaluated
by performing a dynamic analysis of the human worker movements in the working area,
providing information as the task execution time, hands and full-body movements. The
ergonomic assessment is performed computing ergonomic indices internationally defined, as
the Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) index. REBA analyses the human worker
postures assessing the position of the main body parts and the angle of the joints representing
the human skeleton [45,46,47].
16
In electronic equipment, many small-size machining parts need pose adjustment or spatial
positioning. These parts are often not apparent in shape and, because of their small size, it is
not convenient to use cooperative targets for identification and positioning. Conventional
feature detection cannot meet the processing requirements, so template matching has become
a standard solution. Korman et al. [59] extended template matching to deal with arbitrary
two-dimensional affine transformations by discretizing the affine space and hierarchical
search strategy. Crispin et al. [60] proposed a general template method based on GA to solve
the inspection problem of multiple components on PCB. A generalized grayscale modal
template image was generated by extracting a set of template images of the same size for
each component to be located and identified. The average of the corresponding pixel values
in each template image was calculated. However, this approach presented the problem that all
components must be placed in the same direction. This meant that all components were
placed horizontally or vertically; otherwise, generalized templates were hardly helpful in
handling maximum likelihood searches. Multiple template matching was required when
various components were placed horizontally and vertically rather than a single generalized
template. To solve this problem, Wu et al. [61] proposed a normalized cross-correlation based
multi-template matching (MTM) method to solve the problem of multi-component PCB
detection. The MTM method only focused on the most likely template and component
placement direction did not affect identification and positioning. Experimental results showed
that the proposed algorithm successfully located all the components on the circuit board in all
operations and the calculation was more minor and had higher efficiency. Zhuang et al. [62]
proposed a micro rivet positioning method based on heterogeneous sensor data fusion to
identify and position scattered rivets in an automatic nailing system. The method realized
17
accurate measurements of the critical size of the micro rivet through template matching and
improved the efficiency and reliability of the nailing system. The composition of the system
is shown in Figure 7a and the recognition effect is shown in Figure 7b,c.

connectors, back panel connectors)
Pin Insertions into Housings
Semiconductor Wafer Assembly
• Ensure deep involvement from higher level management to improve coordination between
departments, ensure enough allocated resources and make tough decisions in due time.
Formalizing the DFAA process by integrating it in the company's formal development
processes is advised.
• Organize regular Design for Automated Assembly (DFAA) reviews, at least every month
throughout the project. These meetings are low cost and, from our experience, ensure to
significantly reduce manufacturability issues.
• Identify early at which point jig, griper design and manufacturing process development
can start, it must be long before design freeze, but after product geometries have started to
stabilize in order to reduce rework to adapt to product changes.
• During design reviews, use formal DFAA methods like DFA2 or make your own if you
have the necessary experience. It is important to combine formal methods with less formal
methods, such as brainstorming, to compensate for limitations in formal DFAA methods.
• Involve external specialists in DFAA, but ensure active involvement from internal
employees from e.g. product development, manufacturing and logistics, in order to increase
expertise within the organization.
