Software and hardware such as part feeding and assembling devices constituting a production system are simplified with the use of a plurality of processing and assembly integrated units in which processing and assembling of parts are coupled and integrated in accordance with products to be produced. The necessities for an automatic warehouse and an automated ground vehicle are eliminated by getting rid of futility of mere movements of the parts. A fundamental idea is that a production system is constructed of units in which three sections--a section for processing a raw material, a check functional section and an assembling section--are integrally combined in accordance with the products to be produced. The parts are processed, checked and assembled by single units just in time while targeting molded parts of plastic and pressed parts.

Production system for molded and pressed parts

A method for wiring an electronic device including a plurality of electronic components and a plurality of connector elements for interconnecting the plurality of electronic components, the connector elements being arranged on the same plane in spaced relation to each other so as to define passages includes a number of steps. A first discrete line is connected to a surface of a first connector element such that the first discrete line extends on a first passage extending along the first connector element. Two pins are positioned along the first passage, substantially perpendicular thereto. The first discrete line is bent along the two pins, a distance between the at least two pins is then reduced, and the at least two pins are then moved away from the first passage. Similar, steps can be used to provide multiple discrete line between two connector elements or along the same passage between different connector elements.
