ABSTRACT:
A pallet is provided with electrical signal and power connections so that burn-in and other quality assurance testing can be completed without removing the product unit from the pallet. The pallet is also fitted with a memory device that retains inventory and testing information related to the product unit placed on the pallet. The memory device can be read by, or written to, a router at various locations along the assembly process. The router can access the inventory and testing information about the product unit and can write unit-specific instructions to the memory device to redirect the product unit for subsequent unit-specific production operations. The pallet is also provided with electrical, fluid, and gas connections in order to facilitate testing of the product units placed on the pallet.
