Abstract
A pick and place nozzle performance analytics system streams production data from pick and place machines used in electronic assembly to a cloud platform as torrential data streams, and performs analytics on the production data to track, visualize, and predict performance of individual nozzles in terms of rejects or miss-picks. The analytics system generates a performance vector for each nozzle based on the collected production data, the performance vector tracking both the accumulated rejects and the percentage of rejects as respective dimensions of an x-y plane. The system monitors and analyzes the trajectory of this vector in the x-y plane to predict when performance degradation of the nozzle will reach a critical threshold. In response to predicting that nozzle performance degradation will exceed a threshold at a future time, the system can generate and deliver notifications to appropriate client devices.
