Automation in PCB inspection can produce worse results compared to manual inspection.

1. Functional testing verifies the circuit operation of the design.

2. Power-up testing can damage the PCB.

3. X-ray-based inspection is detrimental to PCB base material. 10. Surface Mount Technology facilitates the production of densely loaded complex PCBs
