Patent ID: 7875137

Claim:
A method for applying and monitoring at least one application structure on a substrate, wherein calibration being performed by at least one camera and an application device, prior to applying the application structure, the method comprising: arranging automatically a first application structure on the substrate using the application device, and the first application structure on the substrate monitored by the at least one camera such that the at least one camera is constantly aligned to the first application structure, and the first application structure, and wherein edges of the adhesive trace around the application device are recorded; transmitting the images acquired by the at least one camera to an image processing device that analyzes the images of the first application structure, including analyzing at least one of a width and a position on the substrate, and that classifies substantially each partial area of the first application structure as a partial area not requiring repair or a partial area requiring repair, and the image processing device filing the partial areas of the first application structure requiring repair in a repair list based on the position or the exact displacement path of the application device such that the image processing device constantly assigns the position or the displacement path of the application device to the substrate based on the calibration, such that the image processing device determines and saves the beginning and the end of each partial area of the first application structure requiring repair; and applying, after application of all partial areas of the first application structure, at least a second application structure to the substrate by the application device based on the repair list, the image processing device transmitting to the application device the beginning and the end of each partial area of the first application structure requiring repair, and thereby controlling the application device such that the second application structure substantially corresponds to the partial areas of the first application structure requiring repair.
