Method of validating manufacturing configurations during hardware assembly

摘要

The present invention is directed to a method and system for manufacturing an electronic device, such as a data storage device. The method includes generating a register including a desired device configuration. The generated register may include a variety of data associated with the components to be included. The register may include an identifier and radio signal information associated with the component so that the component may be tracked via a radio frequency identification device (RFID) physically associated with the component. Radio signals are monitored for signals associated with the component such as prior to inclusion into the electronic device to prevent improper assembly. An alert may be provided if a radio signal associated with a component included in the desired configuration is not present. The radio signals determined during monitoring are verified with the radio signals associated with the components included in the register. The components are assembled into the electronic device (or partially assembled device). The radio signal(s) are monitored to ensure the components were actually incorporated into the electronic device prior to proceeding with additional production.
