最近为一家主要汽车安全气囊供应商设计和开发的自动化制造数据收集和控制系统提供了一种实时机制，通过在装配过程中使用每个安全气囊充气机上标记的条形码高级编号来收集每个安全气囊充气机的生产和处理数据。制造装配过程需要一个多任务系统和分布式硬件体系结构，以便在装配前对正确的零件装配、零件日志跟踪和相应零件批次进行实时过程验证。该系统提供安全气囊充气机制造时的装配跟踪和生产数据收集。

AN AUTOMATED MANUFACTURING DATA COLLECTION AND CONTROL SYSTEM, RECENTLY DESIGNED AND DEVELOPED FOR A MAJOR SUPPLIER OF AUTOMOTIVE AIRBAGS, PROVIDES A REAL-TIME MECHANISM TO COLLECT PRODUCTION AND PROCESS DATA FOR EACH AIRBAG INFLATOR BY USING A BAR-CODED SENIOR NUMBER TAGGED TO EACH AIRBAG INFLATOR DURING ASSEMBLY. THE MANUFACTURING ASSEMBLY PROCESS REQUIRED A MULTITASKING SYSTEM AND DISTRIBUTED HARDWARE ARCHITECTURE TO PROVIDE REAL-TIME, IN-PROCESS VERIFICATION OF CORRECT PART ASSMEBLY, COMPONENT LOG TRACKING, AND VERIFICATION OF CORRENT COMPONENT PART LOT BEFORE ASSEMBLY. THE SYSTEM PROVIDES ASSEMBLY TRACKING AND PRODUCTION DATA COLLECTION OF THE AIRBAG INFLATOR AS IT IS BUILT.
