Quality Control Sample Retention

A printed circuit board manufacturer needs to have a better control of their QC sample retention process. The proposed management system enables QC operators and supervisors to be able to use a website (silverlight web app) to control the whole process. It also has a simple yet effective user authentication/authorization system built in.

Technical Details:

  • Lightswitch, a data-centric business RAD (Rapid Application Development) framework based on Silverlight
  • Data model created from the back end SQL server database automatically got reflected to the user interface layer and business logic layer. It includes field name, foreign key constraints, table relationship, etc.
  • XAML user interface design
  • Customer PrintDocument silverlight user control
  • Silverlight Runtime is required, download it from Microsoft website if it’s not installed in your computer
  • Test user name: Supervisor; password: 1234
    Test user name MS Operator; password 123

Process Environment Monitor

A company making printed circuit board needs to have a better control of their process environment ie, temperature, humidity. Currently the frontend of the system is in Excel chart. The issues with this approach is that end user has to have same version of Excel installed, the deployment/maintenance is further complicated by the fact that database connection string is somewhere outside the Excel file.

The proposed plan is to use website to present the data/charts. It can not only delivery a better user experience but also make maintenance and further improvement much easier.

Technical Details:

  • Silverlight and WCF web service
  • MVVM design pattern, clear separation of presentation and business logic.
  • XAML user interface design;
  • Customer PrintDocument control; Chart control; Calendar control
  • Silverlight Navigation Application
  • Silverlight Runtime is required, download it from Microsoft website if it’s not installed in your computer
