What methods do you guys use for maintaining lot and/or board traceability? When I worked in med. products, we used travelers that we recorded everything on, then serialized them at the end of the build. Not as effective as up front serialization,

I�d appreciate assistance in trying to resolve a placement/soldering problem. My company has designed a board which uses a large number of 0402 LED�s that are .028� high. The LED�s need to be soldered so that they point straight up and are not til
