 FEEDRAIL

 
Electronics Industry

 Problem:  After electronic products are assembled they're tested to ensure proper operation, a process called "burn-in".  The products are carefully monitored for preset periods of time, ranging from a few hours to a few days.  This process can create a bottleneck during manufacturing, since burn-in requires a varying amount of temporary storage space for the products, and an uncertain number of power outlets capable of supplying varying voltages or hertz.  The products are excessively handled (increasing the likelihood of damage), and floor space is used for nonproductive activities.

 Solution:  A Feedrail¨ Electrification System can resolve these productivity problems during burn-in.  Movable power outlets supply abundant power without the need for dangerous cords or the need to unnecessarily plug and unplug products.  In fact, there's no need to remove products from the production line at all, they can be tested in place.  An inexpensive gravity fed conveyor is often used in conjunction with a Feedrail System.  In the highly competitive electronics industry, good industrial engineering coupled with Feedrail¨ technology gives the manufacturer a significant marketing edge.

 Problem:  Historically, electronic products were removed from the line, placed on stationary benches, plugged into fixed electrical outlets, and tested and monitored for varying periods throughout the production process, including "final test".  This industrial model is no longer economically feasible.  The competitive electronics manufacturer of today must use on-line operations with a movable source of electrical power.

 Solution:  Electronic products manufacturing can be automated with Feedrail Electrification Systems to reduce product handling and increase productivity.  These savings further translate into a significant reduction of product damage and breakage and reduced labor costs per unit, with positive effects on both productivity and the bottom line.
