Abstract
A method and apparatus for mounting a component onto a substrate of an electrical assembly that utilizes a transponder unit. The transponder unit is attached to the substrate for storing mounting process data, such as, the component manufacturer identification code, the number of missing components, and the number of faulty substrate position, before, during or after the mounting process. The stored process data can then be transmitted to a control unit that controls the component mounting apparatus wherein the data is processed and utilized during the mounting operation to enhance process quality control.
