Improvement for Production

Idea for R&D department

My proposals relate specifically to the assembly of desktops and workplaces.

1) One of the causes of processor failure is the use of vacuum tweezers, especially by a new employee. When taking it from the box with spare parts (TOT): a person uses vacuum tweezers and carefully transfers the processor to the slot, insuring from below with the second hand. And since the hands are not yet accustomed to working with small spare parts, there is a slight tremor in the hands, and the worker may not notice that he poorly installed the processor in the slot, closes it with a fixing cover and damages the processor. All this increases the influence of the human factor. I believe that it is possible to minimize the percentage of breakage and damage to the processor and processor slot pins through a special container, which will affect the cost savings.

Another point, the processor or RAM, in "TOT", when delivered to the assembly site, sometimes falls out of its stand, probably due to the fact that when the box with spare parts moves through the delivery system, it can make sudden movements, and on top of the tray with the system unit does not fit snugly and there is space.

My suggestion is a container for the processor. There are some flaws in the design, because I do not know the exact dimensions and I need to look practically at the prototype how it will work. For example, on the processor there are recesses for guides in the processor slot, is it worth adding them to the container, perhaps because of them the processor can be skewed to its side when installed-falling, and how safe is the fall into the slot itself for pins, and so on?

2) All delivery boxes (TOT) are black inside, which makes it difficult to see when taking spare parts from it to assemble the desktop. It happens that a desktop is assembled without a specific module due to the fact that it was in the corner of the box under the wall itself and the worker did not notice it. Why not make the inner walls of a transparent anti-static material such as Benlonate(R) ESD.

3) The issue is about saving time, thereby increasing the production quantity. Move the base screw for securing the M2 SSD card under the fastener for the short card (now almost all screws are screwe to fit the size of the long card). Usually, during a work shift, 60-80% of short SSD cards arrive and you have to spend time unscrewing and screwing in the screw. I noticed that I spend about 8-15 seconds on this, if multiplied by the number of systems manufactured by me alone, there will be a good savings.

4) On the line with the conveyor there is a place for assembling a wlan card. There, the eyes are very tired due to voltage, since the connector on the card is very small for connecting to the cable, and it is hard to see if you work for a long time. Because of this, the contacts on the card are often damaged, the card needs to be changed to another one. In this place, you can install a magnifying glass on an illuminated bracket for a better view and thereby reduce damage to the wlan card and eye strain.
