A system for identifying accurate assembly of a component to a workpiece is disclosed. The system includes a light source for projecting light indicia onto the component assembled to the workpiece. A controller includes an artificial intelligence (AI) element defining a machine learning model that establishes a convoluted neural network trained by stored images of light indicia projected onto the component assembled to the workpiece. An imager includes an image sensor system for imaging the workpiece and signaling a current image of the workpiece to the controller. The machine learning model directs inspection of the workpiece to the light indicia imaged by said imager. The AI element determines disposition of the component disposed upon the workpiece through the neural network identifying distortions of the light indicia in the current image.

A method for identifying accurate assembly of a component to a workpiece, comprising:
The method set forth in claim 15, further including a step of training a convoluted neural network (CNN).
The method set forth in claim 1, further including a step of providing a processor for generating a database populated with said stored images.
The method set forth in claim 1, wherein said machine learning model is trained by stored images of the light indicia projected onto the component thereby enabling said AI element to improve accuracy of the inspection.
The method set forth in claim 1, further including a step of said laser source being signaled by said controller disposition of the components and said laser source scanning a laser icon onto the workpiece adjacent the component being indicative of the disposition of the component.
The system set forth in claim 1, further including a step of a reference target being registered to the workpiece by the imager and a location of the reference target being correlated to features defined by the workpiece.
