The growth demand can be seen more prevalent in the aerospace, telecommunications anddefense industries. The quality of the electromechanical components is a stringent factor which drivesup costs and ultimately increases delivery time due to the need to meet regulations. Theseelectromechanical components include but are not limited to terminal connectors, fuse panels,peripheral component interconnect (PCI) board, power distribution boards (PDB), and printed circuitboard (PCB).Purpose: This paper aims to study how a
