Abstract

A Surface Mounted Technology (SMT) monitoring system and method includes setting an alarm threshold of an accident probability, and obtaining the output data from a monitor unit. The SMT monitoring method further includes calculating the accident probability according to the obtained output data, and sending an alarm command to trigger an alarm unit located at the SMT production lines to output an alarm signal if the calculated accident probability is greater than or equal to the set alarm threshold of the accident probability.
