  • Integrated menu-driven manufacturing method and system
    Patent number: 9128481
    Abstract: A menu-driven manufacturing technique includes determining a product and product configuration, along with process steps to be carried out in manufacturing workstations. Display screens corresponding to the particular manufacturing process steps are accessed and displayed on monitors at the workstations to lead operators through the processes. Control circuitry may verify that the correct components and tools are utilized as called for by the various process steps. Powered tools and test setups may be integrated with the system to enable improved quality control.
