Abstract

The device, system and process of the present invention greatly reduces the time and space necessary to assemble a wire harness enables efficient manufacture of wire harnesses and cable assemblies. The present invention comprises at least a wire or cable viewer module, a machine vision and optical character recognition module, one or more receptacles designed to receive and hold in place a wire harness or cable assembly connector, having multiple pin-hole cavities illuminated by a light source to identify a cavity for wire or cable insertion. Moreover, the present invention may further comprise a portable, computer-implemented system capable of executing a series of automated process steps designed to identify wire and cable markings and guide the error-free insertion of identified wires and cables into wire harness connector pin-hole receptacles for assembly of a wire harness or cable assembly.
