Abstract: Embodiments herein describe techniques for providing individual clock delay values to each rank coupled to a memory controller. A register (e.g., a mode register (MR)) can store an offset delay for each of the ranks relative to a minimum clock delay of the ranks. For example, the memory controller can calculate the clock delay for each rank and then find the difference (or delta) between the individual clock delay values and the minimum clock delay value. The memory controller can write these difference/deltas to the registers for the ranks. The ranks can then use the value stored in their respective registers to further delay a received clock signal that has already been delay by the minimum clock delay value.

Abstract: A method of operating a smart manufacturing system includes a beacon device borne by a user's appendage broadcasting beacon signals indicative of the appendage's location during assembly of a part within a manufacturing facility. A network of radio-frequency transceivers located within the manufacturing facility receives the beacon signals; a system controller uses the beacon signals to derive an appendage path with a stop location and stop time of the appendage when performing a manual task during part assembly. The controller retrieves a part-specific build plan that contains a predefined stop location and stop time for assembling the part. The controller detects a task error when the task's stop location differs from the predefined stop location and/or the task's stop time differs from the predefined stop time. Responsive to the detected error, the controller commands a system component to output an audible, visual, and/or tactile alert indicative of the task error.
