The
Assembly Information System (AIS) is capable of automatically
indicating specific tasks that are required for an operator
workstation. The system acts as a two-way communication
gateway between the error proofing components, such as
torque tools, pick lights, or operator input, to the error
proofing servers. The AIS sends/receives information between
plant floor operations and plant databases, to acquire
information specific to the operation(s) in a workstation.
Information gathered is used to indicate specific processes
expected of operators, and upon completion of these processes
the AIS sends pass/fail information back to servers, electronically
tagging the process with information about defects or
open issues.
The AIS is capable of communicating
with many devices over a variety of communication platforms
such as Ethernet, serial , discrete I/O, etc. The AIS
offers great flexibility when interfacing with bar code
scanners, RF readers, part verification systems, Ethernet
I/O or any device with one of the above communication
interfaces.
