Evana Automation ships lean assembly cells to automotive electronics manufacturer

Evansville, Ind.-based Evana Automation Specialists, a systems integrator and builder of custom automated assembly and test systems, has shipped two lean assembly cells with subassembly stations to an automotive electronics manufacturer.

During this process, an operator prints and applies a label to the product housing for traceability purposes. A printed circuit board (PCB) then is placed on the housing and scanned (for PCB serial number) so that it can be tied to the bar code label. Next, the PCB is secured to the housing with a DC screwdriver, and torque data is collected and tied to the bar code.

In the next step, thermal pad backings are removed, and the removal is verified. At the next station, a ribbon connector is installed to attach to the lid PCB, and similar operations are performed to the lid side. Once complete, the unit is checked and packed out.
