AI Technical Summary
Existing wire harness testing methods are costly, prone to human error, and lack reliability in ensuring signal integrity, leading to environmental waste and increased manufacturing costs due to the rejection of faulty harnesses, while recycling is hindered by the perceived unreliability of reused components.
An automated wire harness diagnosis system that includes a harness interface, load characterisation, and wire management subsystems, utilizing DC and AC stimuli, precision resistance measurement, and machine learning to assess wear, tear, and insulation degradation, ensuring reliable recycling and remanufacturing.
Ensures the reliability of recycled wire harnesses by accurately diagnosing faults and estimating residual lifetime, reducing waste and environmental impact, and promoting a circular economy by extending the operational lifespan of harnesses.
