Combining robotic assembly with just‐in‐time manufacture

Abstract

THE Vancouver Division of Hewlett‐Packard, Vancouver, Washington, USA, designs and manufactures workstation printers. The evolution of design and manufacturing processes through each product generation has allowed ongoing design improvements, more efficient use of printed circuit board space, a reduction in the number of circuit boards, and robotic assembly within a Just‐in‐Time (JIT) manufacturing environment.
