Systems and methods for managing vehicle manifest data at a vehicle

A method for managing vehicle manifest data of a vehicle comprising:

• receiving vehicle manifest data for the vehicle from a plant operation system of a vehicle plant at a vehicle manifest data management system of the vehicle, the vehicle manifest data comprising:
• a plurality of component identifiers, each of the plurality of component identifiers corresponding to one of a plurality of vehicle components for installation in the vehicle during a vehicle assembly process;
• and
• installation data associated with the installation of each of the plurality of vehicle components in the vehicle during the vehicle assembly process;
• receiving a first component identifier associated with a first vehicle component and a first assembly station identifier associated with a first assembly station equipped to install the first vehicle component from the plant operation system at the vehicle manifest data management system, the first component identifier being one of the plurality of component identifiers;
• and
• transmitting the installation data associated with the first vehicle component from the vehicle manifest data management system to a station controller of the first assembly station, wherein the installation data associated with the first vehicle component comprises:
• first vehicle component tool settings;
• first vehicle component equipment settings;
• first vehicle component installation instructions;
• first vehicle component fastener requirements;
• first vehicle component trace requirements;
• first vehicle component torque requirements;
• and
• fail-safe protocols associated with installation of the first vehicle component;
• transmitting a component delivery request to the plant operation system to deliver the first vehicle component to a component pick-up location at the vehicle plant;
• issuing instructions to an automated driving system (ADS) of the vehicle to drive the vehicle to the component pick-up location to enable loading of the first vehicle component into the vehicle;
• issuing instructions to the ADS to drive the vehicle from the component pick-up location to the first assembly station;
• transmitting a first appointment request associated with a maintenance procedure to an auto repair shop system;
• receiving a first appointment for the maintenance procedure from the auto repair shop system;
• transmitting a component model number and a component serial number associated with at least some of the vehicle components from the plurality of vehicle components associated with the maintenance procedure to the auto repair shop system;
• receiving an updated component model number and an updated component serial number associated with at least some replaced vehicle components from the auto repair shop system;
• storing the updated component model number and the updated component serial number in the at least one memory;
• receiving a component recall associated with the first vehicle component from an auto manufacturer system, the component recall being based on at least one of a component model number and a component serial number of the first vehicle component;
• transmitting a second appointment request associated with the component recall to an auto repair shop system;
• and
• receiving a second appointment to implement a component recall procedure from the auto repair shop system.

A vehicle including a vehicle manifest data management system comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory communicatively coupled to the at least one processor, the at least one memory comprising instructions that upon execution by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:
• receive vehicle manifest data for the vehicle from a plant operation system, the vehicle manifest data comprising:
• a plurality of component identifiers, each of the plurality of component identifiers corresponding to one of a plurality of vehicle components for installation in the vehicle during a vehicle assembly process;
• and
• installation data associated with the installation of each of the plurality of vehicle components in the vehicle during the vehicle assembly process;
• receive a first component identifier associated with a first vehicle component and a first assembly station identifier associated with a first assembly station equipped to install the first vehicle component from the plant operation system, the first component identifier being one of the plurality of component identifiers;
• and
• transmit the installation data associated with the first vehicle component to a station controller of the first assembly station, wherein the installation data associated with the first vehicle component comprises:
• first vehicle component tool settings;
• first vehicle component equipment settings;
• first vehicle component installation instructions;
• first vehicle component fastener requirements;
• first vehicle component trace requirements;
• first vehicle component torque requirements;
• and
• fail-safe protocols associated with installation of the first vehicle component;
• transmit a component delivery request to the plant operation system to deliver the first vehicle component to a component pick-up location at the vehicle plant;
• issue instructions to an automated driving system (ADS) of the vehicle to drive the vehicle to the component pick-up location to enable loading of the first vehicle component into the vehicle;
• issue instructions to the ADS to drive the vehicle from the component pick-up location to the first assembly station;
• transmit a first appointment request associated with a maintenance procedure to an auto repair shop system;
• receive a first appointment for the maintenance procedure from the auto repair shop system;
• transmit a component model number and a component serial number associated with at least some of the vehicle components from the plurality of vehicle components associated with the maintenance procedure to the auto repair shop system;
• receive an updated component model number and an updated component serial number associated with at least some replaced vehicle components from the auto repair shop system;
• store the updated component model number and the updated component serial number in the at least one memory;
• receive a component recall associated with the first vehicle component from an auto manufacturer system, the component recall being based on at least one of a component model number and a component serial number of the first vehicle component;
• transmit a second appointment request associated with the component recall to an auto repair shop system;
• and
• receive a second appointment to implement a component recall procedure from the auto repair shop system.
