The International Linear Collider (ILC) will require ~20,000 Superconducting Radio- Frequency (SRF) cavities. Improving the yield of high-gradient (>35 MV/m) cavities is currently one of the most critical issues for the ILC. The LANL has been tasked to analyze the failure and feedback the results to the industry and academia. We have started an effort to develop a pre-conceptual design of an automated system to optically inspect the inner surface that showed heating with a thermometry system. We have also started a pre-conceptual design of an automated system for assembling and sealing the flanges after high-pressure rinsing in the clean room. This could reduce the chance of particle contamination due to touch labor, leading to a field emission free cavities and higher yield of high-gradient cavities.
