Component mounting method

A component mounting method for at least one processing device, the at least one processing device being at least one of a solder printing device, an inspection device, a component mounting device;

• and a reflow device in a component mounting system, wherein the at least one processing device is connected to a remote computer via a communication network;
• the component mounting method comprising:
• allowing a remote operation of the at least one processing device for a remote response error, wherein the remote operation can be performed via an input unit of the remote computer;
• and
• prohibiting the remote operation when a predetermined operation of the at least one processing device is performed.

A method for managing a processing device in a component mounting system, the method comprising:

• detecting an error occurring in the processing device;
• determining a remote response error;
• updating an operation setting in at least one of a remote computer and the processing device based on the remote response error,
• wherein the processing device is one of a solder printing device, an inspection device, a component mounting device, and a reflow device, and
• wherein the operation setting includes information on whether the remote computer is set for remote operation or whether the processing device is set for on-site operation.
