Automated trench manufacturing and assembly for attaching trim covers to a cushion assembly

A system, comprising:

• one or more robotic arms;
• a cushion assembly;
• a plurality of die bars comprising a plurality of orifices and the plurality of die bars disposed on the one or more robotic arms such that when the plurality of die bars is heated and engaged with the cushion assembly, the plurality of die bars is configured to form depressed channels in the cushion assembly;
• a plurality of hollow jackets cooperating with the plurality of die bars to receive a plurality of fasteners such that each fastener of the plurality of fasteners is aligned with a respective orifice of the plurality of orifices;
• and
• an actuator arranged to drive the plurality fasteners from the plurality of hollow jackets through the plurality of orifices into the cushion assembly such that the plurality of fasteners is disposed in the depressed channels.
