Abstract:
An apparatus and method for electronically sequencing and guiding wire path and wire connection information during the manufacturing process of wire harnesses. The user of the apparatus and method assembles a wire harness on a assembly board which has an electronic display device contained therein which has the ability to display path and text information for each specific wire contained within a specific wire harness design. The assembly board is connected to a computer that sequences and sends the information for each wire to the display. The process entails receiving assembly control data from a computer that simultaneously displays information about a specific wire on the computer screen and on the display device in the form board. The images on the display device are the life size and path of where a wire should be placed within the wire harness. Additional information is also displayed for each wire that indicates a face view of the connector that each wire end point is connected to, the connector slot each wire will be inserted into, specific handling and testing instructions or any other pertinent assembly instructions. The computer information is generated by a computer-aided-design program (CAD) or graphical software package.
