Well its time that Bob Willis went interactive. The following briefly illustrates the type of CD ROM I will be producing in the near future. Any input on the content would be of value to me. Please just Email your suggestions. The CD would have a short introduction providing a list of hot spots for the surface mount assembly process. (A hot Spot is where you click on to move to the next screen) The hot spot would take the engineer to a text screen explaining that process stage and listing the most common process defects seen at that part of the process. From there the engineer would select the process problem he currently has in manufacture. This would then direct him to another text screen explaining the cause of the defect. Each SMT defect type would be illustrated with a photograph of the problem. With some of the defects we could have a video sequence lasting less than 10 second showing the defect occurring, taken from the vast Bob Willis video defect archives. I could also suggest to the engineer why the problem exists on video or just a voice response. If I use different responses on some of the defect types it will make the CD more interesting. I would like the ability on the CD to fill in a form to comment on what the next CD should be and ask for free consultancy with a problem solving form or fax. Engineers could also list the type of defects not covered on the CD so that we can update them. It is planned to have the CD ready for the Irish Electronics Show and to have it on the SMART Group stand at a new London Electronics show both at the end of the year Thanks for any comments or suggestions.
