Abstract
A method of monitoring electrical component moisture exposure includes calculating a remaining floor life value for a group of electrical component containers and a first container, based on an associated first moisture sensor's exposure to moisture; removing the first container from the group; creating an association between the removed first container and a second moisture sensor; and transferring the calculated remaining floor life value from the first moisture sensor for use with the second moisture sensor.
Claims24
A method of monitoring electrical component moisture exposure, the method comprising:
- calculating a remaining floor life value for a group of electrical component containers and a first container, based on an associated first moisture sensor's exposure to moisture;
- removing the first container from the group;
- creating an association between the removed first container and a second moisture sensor;
- and
- transferring the calculated remaining floor life value from the first moisture sensor for use with the second moisture sensor.
A system for monitoring electronic component moisture exposure, the system comprising:
- a first moisture sensor associated with a group of electrical component containers;
- and
- a second moisture sensor associated with an electrical component placement machine;
- wherein the first moisture sensors is adapted to:
- sense exposure to moisture over time;
- calculate, based on the sensed exposure, a remaining floor life value of the associated group of containers;
- and
- transfer an updated remaining floor life value of the associated group to the second moisture sensor upon removal of a first container from the associated group of containers.
