ABSTRACT:
A versatile production system in which a communication-memory unit is attached to a product, or to a pallet carrying the product, while the product is conveyed along the production line. The communication-memory unit communicates with a line host controller via line terminals located at production line assembling and testing sites in order to send information relating to the product from the communication-memory unit to the line host controller and to the communication-memory unit from the line host controller. Information can also be transferred from the communication-memory unit to the line terminals for output to a production worker and input by a production worker from a line terminal to the communication-memory unit. In this manner, the communication-memory unit contains manufacturing information relating to the product and this information is electronically updated at each production line site. The communication-memory unit can be emplaced in the side surfaces, top surfaces, or bottom surface of a pallet so as to allow communication and be detachable from the pallet. A pallet could also include an indented storage area or a basket-like enclosure to accommodate subassemblies or test equipment placed therein.
