<p>A system for assembling a build to order product (for example a computer system) comprises providing a coded kit tray 132, said coding providing a signal to generate the list of required components 138. Said components 138 are identified and placed in the kit tray 132, identification of the required components may be via a 'pick to lights' system. The kit trays 130 are then transferred to an assembly unit 152, wherein the product is assembled from said components. Assembly instructions for each product may be displayed in the assembly unit 152 to reduce damage caused by operator handling of the components. The assembled product may be further 'quick tested' for basic functionality and then given an 'extended test' 170 for quality testing. If the product fails the 'quick test' it may be returned to the assembly unit 152 for rectification.</p> |
