Embodiments herein provide drill hole location transfer between remote components. One embodiment is an apparatus for replicating drill holes of a first workpiece on a second workpiece remotely located from the first workpiece. The apparatus includes an interface to receive coordinate data of first alignment pins installed to first template holes of a first drill plate, and a receptacle to receive a second drill plate having second template holes that match a pattern of the first templates holes of the first drill plate. A pin setting device moves a reference member in a plane over the receptacle, and positions the reference member with respect to the second drill plate based on the coordinate data of the first alignment pins, thus indicating locations within the second template holes to position drill bushings for replicating the first holes of the first workpiece on the second workpiece.

The software generation method uses a computer, wherein the computer includes a control unit and a storage unit; the storage unit stores manufacturing log data that includes sensor data acquired in one or both of a manufacturing process and an inspection process, and environmental configuration information that relates to a manufacturing device or an inspection device from which the sensor data are acquired for each component or product; and the control unit reads the manufacturing log data from the storage unit, reads the environment configuration information from the storage unit, constructs a causal inference model based on the manufacturing log data, constructs an expanded causal inference model by expanding the causal inference model using the environment configuration information, generates a contracted model by contracting the expanded causal inference model to a causal relation of prescribed target data of interest, and generates prescribed application software by reading the contracted model.
