Abstract:
An OBD II-compliant diagnostic PC tablet and method are provided. The tablet enables the simultaneous display of diagnostic data from multiple systems. Further, the tablet enables retrieval of potential solutions in response to the diagnostic data. The tablet may be used to retrieve the diagnostic data from a given vehicle system. The tablet features a display screen, an input node, and a processor. The tablet may communicate with one or more remote databases obtaining diagnostic summaries therefrom. Thus, the computer receives the diagnostic data vehicle system, derives diagnostic information therefrom, and can use external databases to derive potential diagnostic solutions therefrom.
Abstract:
A method of developing a plan for repairing an aircraft by attaching a replacement part to a receiving portion of the aircraft comprises scanning the receiving portion of the aircraft to acquire information about at least one of dimensions, a position, and an orientation of the receiving portion. The method further comprises scanning a plurality of potential replacement parts to acquire dimensional information about the potential replacement parts. The method also comprises creating a repair plan including processing the information acquired in the scanning steps to identify a preferred replacement part of the plurality of potential replacement parts for attaching to the receiving portion of the aircraft.
Abstract:
A lump management apparatus comprising a management computer which is connected with inspection/manufacturing apparatus computers, and includes a transmission/reception function to transmit/receive each information item of the operation conditions set to the respective inspection/manufacturing apparatuses or the maintenance information from each sensor unit to/from the respective apparatus computers, a change function to intensively manage the operation conditions set to the respective apparatus computers in a lump and change the operation conditions in a lump with respect to the computer of the specified each inspection/manufacturing apparatus, a notification function to intensively manage the maintenance information from each sensor unit in a lump, predict an abnormality of the respective inspection/manufacturing apparatuses, and notify a warning at the time of occurrence of the abnormality, and a display function to display each information item of the operation conditions of the respective inspection/manufacturing apparatuses and the like on the same screen of a monitor device.
Abstract:
Parallel organized unit-by-unit manufacturing and assembly systems and methods for computer systems and other products advantageously integrate into a build-to-order environment. Responsive to orders received, kit trays are prepared that each hold parts and components needed to build an ordered product. The kit tray is transferred to a work cell where a team builds the product. The product is then tested and repaired, with information regarding any problems provided to the responsible work cell.

Abstract:
Soldering condition information such as the position and angle of a soldering iron, amount of solder supplied and heating time is stored beforehand, for each grouping of parts, in a part classification table (26) for soldering purposes. Parts to be mounted on a board are stored, in correspondence with the board ID, on a floppy disk of a floppy disk device (24). When the board ID is entered, the parts to be mounted on the board are displayed on a display unit (23). The operator reads out the part classification table (26) for soldering purposes and designates soldering correction information that corresponds to the part groups to which the parts belong. As a result, a teach-data table (27) in which soldering condition information has been stored in correspondence with the parts is created. Soldering is executed automatically in accordance with the teach-data table (27).
