Drill out or obliterate the local fiducials. Part of calibration will not complete so will not populate.

ERP systems and ISC only recognize 1. If 1 always equals 4, they can reconcile. If 1 equals 3 (1 bad image), they need to do a manual debit and edit function to the IH inventory. It is best to have all good panels be the standard (1=4)and the bad panels to have a QR designation to indicate a manual yield input.

That's a giant "it depends" (you owe Doug the royalty). Some are isolated date points, others are potential trend indicators.

Our winter is over too. We can say goodbye to those 75 degree days. You got humor weather you liked it or not.

Subject: [TN] NTC - (somewhat) regarding X-outs

Happy Spring, Technetters! Having enjoyed a very snowy winter here in PA I am now ready to enjoy some warmer weather.

I have a few question as to how others handle x-out boards in a panel, both from an assembly point of view, from a planning point of view, and from a quality point of view. 

Assembly - we are planning to run these boards on our Phillips / Assembleon equipment, and there should be a way to have the machine automatically detect an x-out panel and not populate it, or am I asking too much? We can't seem to figure out how to get this to work. 

Planning - there are n boards in a panel, but 1 is an x-out, and the planning / ERP system thinks there will be n boards, but you get 1 less, how do you tell the ERP system this? 

Quality - If there is a defect on 1 board in the panel, should there be concerns that the other boards may also have defects that weren't detected? 

Thanks!

Blair
