The Benefits of PCBA Automation
It is important for modern-day PCBAs to automate the assembly process as much as possible since it accelerates production and minimizes human error, resulting in faster product delivery to meet consumer demand. Automating SMT, soldering, and post-assembly inspections is easier than ever with the right equipment and software. Automation is also less expensive per piece and more consistent when successfully implemented.
Building at scale usually requires automation, especially when using small components like surface mount components. For smaller production runs, or for those with a significant number of components that need to be inserted by hand, it may not be the most economical option.
