Data-analysis-based feedback of component positioning within an electronic assembly

A computer system for providing component positioning feedback within an electronic assembly, the computer system comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• at least one processor in communication with the memory, wherein the computer system is configured to perform a method, the method comprising:
• sensing, via a plurality of multi-position sensors, component position relative to a surface of an other component, the component and the other component being part of an electronic assembly, and the plurality of multi-position sensors being disposed at respective corners of the component, in between the component and the other component, and the sensing by the plurality of multi-position sensors generating component position data for the corners of the component relative to the surface of the other component at different component positions, wherein the component position data includes dynamic position-change data obtained during insertion of the component into operative position within the electronic assembly to facilitate dynamic evaluation of tilt and coplanarity of the component within the electronic assembly during the insertion of the component into operative position within the electronic assembly, and wherein at least one of the component and the other component comprises a circuit board of the electronic assembly;
• determining, via data analysis of the component position data, a current positioning of the component of the electronic assembly relative to the surface of the other component of the electronic assembly;
• and
• generating a position feedback signal based on the determined current positioning of the component of the electronic assembly relative to the surface of other component of the electronic assembly to facilitate the dynamic evaluation of the tilt and coplanarity of the component within the electronic assembly.
