SMT Reels Issues.

Hello Technet,

I need some advice from the SMT experts. The issue is around the placement of wrong SMT reel components on boards due to vendor or process issues (errors in labelling, parenting the reel to the wrong feeder, etc). Any suggestions on best practices for incoming material quality processes and/or suggestions on the most effective ways to verify that the right components have been placed on the line before populating the boards?

Thank you!
