Patent ID: 8689435

Claim:
A mounting system, comprising: a plurality of mounting apparatuses configured to divisionally mount a plurality of electronic components onto a plurality of substrates; an inspection apparatus that inspects the electronic components and substrates and generates deviation information of the electronic component; a memory storing a plurality of formats for each substrate including divisional information of each of the mounting apparatuses that indicates which of the plurality of mounting apparatuses mounts what electronic component on the substrate out of the plurality of electronic components, the deviation information that includes deviation amounts of one or more of the electronic components indicating how much each of the respective plurality of electronic components that have been mounted on each of the respective substrates are deviated from their regular positions, and executable instructions for changing mounting assignments of particular electronic components to particular mounting apparatuses and for executing mounting of the electronic components by the mounting apparatuses; and a controller that executes the instructions stored on the memory to cause to change an assignment of mounting of a first type of electronic component on the substrates from a first one of the mounting apparatuses to a second one of the mounting apparatuses, to change, according to the change of assignment, the divisional information of the mounting apparatuses in a format corresponding to the substrates for which the assignment has been changed, and the second one of the mounting apparatuses, that has been specified from the plurality of mounting apparatuses based on the divisional information, to mount another electronic component on one of the substrates after correcting the deviation amounts.
