In this paper, we present a general description of a new Automated Visual Inspection system designed with a mechatronic approach, to address the problem of quality control in a SMT assembly process line. The system provides hardware and software facilities to be used as a test bench for new algorithms related to inspection and decision making, and it allows for remote access. We include a description of our first application to detect presence/absence or misplace of Surface Mounted Devices using 2D analysis and 3D reconstruction. Also, we describe the remote access package developed with Jini technologies to integrate our system to the Jini Virtual Manufacturing Lab. This AVI system was created as a part of the Mexico-USA project in manufacturing research, MANET.
