Embodiment Construction

[0026] As mentioned, the present invention contemplates a design method for validating the configuration of manufactured goods and reconfiguring such products, often prior to shipment. This design can be implemented as a configuration verification and reconfiguration station. Such tables are often part of the manufacturing process and are usually located at a stage after assembly is complete. This station can be located in front of the packaging station for products ready for shipment to customers, or in a customer repair or field service department for troubleshooting products returned from customers. The functions of such a station can generally be divided into two categories, namely control of the product and control of the station itself.

[0027] The first category of functions includes the control of the finished product, involving the configuration data associated with one or more units incorporated into such a product and the top-level product data associated with the...

Abstract

One aspect related to design of systems and methods for manufacture of products is configuration. More particularly, this relates to verification of an existing configuration and to reconfiguration of a product following manufacturing. The present invention contemplates an approach to designing a station capable of configuration verification and reconfiguration and of preventing shipment of a product if an undesirable configuration is detected. A preferred approach also includes guiding the operator to take possible remedial action. The preferred approach further includes storing various types of data needed for the verification and reconfiguration in a server, thereby making such data substantially instantly accessible for verification and reconfiguration purposes. Such data preferably includes software capable of adapting the functions of the station itself, i.e., the tasks to be performed at the configuration verification and reconfiguration station. A system design using this approach is particularly useful in the manufacture of a microwave radio.

Background technique [0004] Product manufacturing includes processing components at a plurality of production stations, each assigned, for example, one or more of assembly, testing, branding, and configuration. Many products to be assembled include multiple components, one or more of which may be configured in a variety of ways. Configuration can occur at any stage of the manufacturing process, for example, during or prior to incorporation of components into a product or ...
