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.

 Features:

• Act as stand alone unit
• Touch-screen interface
• Act as a two way communication gateway from error proofing components, such as torque tool(s), pick lights, or operator input, to an error proofing server.
• Local connections are 2 serial, 2 Ethernet or discrete (2 dc inputs, 2 dc outputs).
• A Windows CE based embedded computer with 12.1" color touch screen and a 3-color stack light and a horn.
