Action Manager - Machine Types on Quality Modules

Product Version History

Purpose of this Feature

This enhancement adds support for backend inspection stations in Action Manager's quality modules, allowing users to configure yield alerts for backend machines.

Problems it solves:

• Previously, SPY and FPY modules only supported frontend inspection stations (AOI, SPI, Pre-AOI, AXI)
• Users could not configure yield alerts for backend inspection machines like ICT

Who benefits:

• Quality engineers monitoring backend inspection processes
• Operations teams needing alerts for yield issues at backend stations

• Anyone managing end-to-end quality across frontend and backend inspection

   

Key Functionalities and Workflows

New Module:

A new Quality - Yield Backend module has been added to Action Manager with the following machine types:

Updated Existing Modules:

The following machine types are now available in the Quality - SPY and Quality - FPY modules: AOI, Pre-AOI, AXI, SPI, ICT

Step-by-Step Usage Instructions

Create a Backend Yield Alert

1. Navigate to Action Manager → Trigger Management
2. Select Quality - Yield Backend
3. Click Create Profile
4. Configure the profile:
   • Set the Scope (Site, Area, or Line)
   • Enter a Description
5. In the Configuration section:
   • Set the Yield Threshold (percentage)
   • Set the Minimum Board Count

   • Select a Machine Type (ICT, Generic Manual Inspection, or Generic Automated Inspection)

     

   • Configure Time Frame Parameters (Check Every, Window)
6. Click Save
7. Configure routing as needed in the Routing tab

Create an SPY or FPY Alert for ICT

1. Navigate to Action Manager → Trigger Management
2. Select Quality - SPY or Quality - FPY
3. Click Create Profile

4. In the Configuration section, select ICT from the Machine Type dropdown

   

5. Configure threshold and other settings as usual
6. Click Save

Configuration or Setup Requirements

Prerequisites:

• The relevant React metrics must be enabled for your scope:
  • For SPY: spy-per-machine metrics
  • For FPY: fpy-per-machine metrics
• Backend inspection machines must be configured in your Factory Map

Module Selection:

• Use Quality - Yield Backend for backend-specific yield monitoring with additional options (Minimum Board Count, Window)

  

• Use Quality - SPY or Quality - FPY with ICT machine type for standard SPY/FPY alerts on ICT machines

Expected Outputs or Reports

Alerts trigger when:

• Quality - Yield Backend: Yield for the latest product inspected per machine is at or below the threshold, and inspection count meets the minimum board count
• Quality - SPY / FPY with ICT: Second Pass Yield or First Pass Yield for ICT machines falls below the configured threshold

Alert behavior:

• Alerts are routed according to the profile's Routing configuration
• Actions appear in Action Manager for assignment and resolution

FAQ

Q: What's the difference between Quality - Yield Backend and Quality - SPY? A: Quality - Yield Backend is designed specifically for backend inspection with additional configuration options like Minimum Board Count and a configurable time Window. Quality - SPY is focused on Second Pass Yield for inspection machines.

Q: Can I use ICT in both SPY and Yield Backend modules? A: Yes. ICT is available in Quality - SPY, Quality - FPY, and Quality - Yield Backend. Choose the module based on the metric and configuration options you need.

Q: What machine types are considered "frontend" vs "backend"? A: Frontend typically includes AOI, Pre-AOI, AXI, and SPI. Backend includes ICT, Generic Manual Inspection, and Generic Automated Inspection.
