Embodiment Construction

[0038] Referring to the drawings, wherein like reference numerals indicate like parts throughout the several views, a notification system 10 for an assembly process at an assembly plant 11 is generally shown as figure 1 shown. The notification system 10 can be provided along the assembly line 12 of the assembly process, such as figure 1 shown. Notification system 10 can improve the assembly process by confirming that various assembly steps have occurred.

[0039] Typically, a number of components 14, 16 (eg, parts, subsystems, etc.) are assembled together to form a product, such as an appliance, vehicle, or any other suitable product that may utilize the notification system 10 described herein. Non-limiting examples of appliances may include washing machines, dryers, refrigerators, dishwashers, etc., and non-limiting examples of vehicles may include cars, trucks, airplanes, boats, watercraft, utility vehicles, and the like. These parts 14, 16 are assembled together at the a...

Abstract

A notification system for a product assembly process at an assembly plant, the system comprising: a base unit of the product at the assembly plant and a first component coupled to the base unit at a workstation at the assembly plant. to further define the product. A label is coupled to one of the base unit and the first component. A reader is arranged downstream of said workstation in an assembly plant. The reader is configured to detect whether the tag is coupled to one of the base unit and the first part when the product is scanned by the reader. Furthermore, there is provided a method of notifying a user during an assembly process at an assembly plant comprising scanning a product via a reader disposed downstream of a workstation of the assembly plant to detect whether a tag is coupled to the base unit and the first part one of.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a notification system for an assembly process at an assembly plant and a method of notifying a user about a product condition during the assembly process at an assembly plant. Background technique [0002] Products are usually assembled at an assembly plant. A number of components are joined together to form, for example, a vehicle, aircraft, appliance, etc., hereinafter referred to as a "product". Various assembly steps have been developed to aid in assembling the product, particularly in the process of assembling hoses to components. [0003] For example, a hose clamp surrounds the hose and a pop clamp is used to hold the hose clamp open. Once the hose is positioned on the part of the product, the pop-off clip is removed by the operator or user so that the hose clamp is clamped around the hose. The operator then places the pop-up clips in the hopper. Hoppers can be counted when pop-off clips are placed in them. H...
