ABSTRACT:
Wire harnesses are assembled by preparing wires in a first region and assembling the harnesses in a second region. The harnesses are assembled in the second region by conveying the harnesses from one end of a conveyor to the other, by providing multiple work stations along the conveyor for manual work functions, by providing local supplies of wires at some work stations, by providing local supplies of connectors at some work stations, and by connecting some of the wires to some of the connectors at some of the work stations and integrating them into a wire harness. The local supplies of wires at some work stations are provided by transporting the wires from the first region to the work stations. The conveyor is incremented periodically and the work functions at the various work stations are preselected to require substantially equal time to perform. The prepared wires for the harnesses are stored in channel trays and may be transported and supported on mobile carriages. The channel trays are U-shaped and may be oriented horizontally or vertically.
