Wire harness manufacturing system
First Claim
1. A wire harness manufacturing system which issue a working instruction for manufacturing a wire harness to a worker using a network composed of an upstream network and a downstream network, comprising:
- a plurality of wire clamping poles each having a plurality of wire clamps;
a jig having a designating portion corresponding to each clamp;
a first computer managing data necessary to manufacture wire harnesses;
a second computer supplying the data received from the first computer with several kinds of designation data to create an operation instruction file;
a third computer checking the operation instruction file against a master file to create a data file available for all manufacturing steps;
a fourth computer allotting file data processed by the third computer to each wire clamping pole, a plurality of servers supplying the file data to the downstream network;
a plurality of information terminal devices which are connected to the servers to requite data necessary for actual operations and provide each designation signal to said designating portion; and
a scanner connected to each of said information terminal devices, for supplying the number of the clamping pole to a certain information terminal device, wherein said first, second, third and fourth computers are connected to said server through a bus line and constitute said upstream network.
