A method for populating a mounting board with assembly components of a switchgear and/or control system, the method comprising the steps of: - reading planning data of a switchgear and/or control system into an assembly machine comprising an assembly robot; - extracting position data of at least one assembly component to be mounted on the mounting board and/or at least one processing position of the mounting board from the planning data; - detecting a spatial orientation and/or a position of the mounting board with an image processing system of the assembly robot; - assigning the position data to at least one position on the mounting board; and - carrying out at least one processing or assembly step linked via the planning data to the position on the mounting board at the position on the mounting board with the assembly robot, wherein the detecting comprises detecting an orientation and/or a position of at least one borehole, at least one borehole image, or at least one breakout in the mounting board and comparing at least one orientation and/or position detected in the process with a target specification extracted from the planning data, characterised in that at least one borehole, at least one borehole image, or at least one breakout is introduced into the mounting board with the assembly robot if, in contrast to the target specification, at least one missing borehole, at least one missing borehole image, or at least one missing breakout has been detected during the comparison. - reading planning data of a switchgear and/or control system into an assembly machine comprising an assembly robot; - extracting position data of at least one assembly component to be mounted on the mounting board and/or at least one processing position of the mounting board from the planning data; - detecting a spatial orientation and/or a position of the mounting board with an image processing system of the assembly robot; - assigning the position data to at least one position on the mounting board; and - carrying out at least one processing or assembly step linked via the planning data to the position on the mounting board at the position on the mounting board with the assembly robot, wherein the detecting comprises detecting an orientation and/or a position of at least one borehole, at least one borehole image, or at least one breakout in the mounting board and comparing at least one orientation and/or position detected in the process with a target specification extracted from the planning data, characterised in that at least one borehole, at least one borehole image, or at least one breakout is introduced into the mounting board with the assembly robot if, in contrast to the target specification, at least one missing borehole, at least one missing borehole image, or at least one missing breakout has been detected during the comparison. wherein the detecting comprises detecting an orientation and/or a position of at least one borehole, at least one borehole image, or at least one breakout in the mounting board and comparing at least one orientation and/or position detected in the process with a target specification extracted from the planning data, characterised in that at least one borehole, at least one borehole image, or at least one breakout is introduced into the mounting board with the assembly robot if, in contrast to the target specification, at least one missing borehole, at least one missing borehole image, or at least one missing breakout has been detected during the comparison.
