Parallel operation of system components

A system comprising:

• slots configured to receive devices to be tested;
• a supplying device to provide devices to be tested and to receive devices that have been tested;
• and
• a servicing device that is movable, the servicing device comprising movable parts to move devices into, and out of, the slots;
• a transportation device that is movable between the supplying device and the servicing device, the transportation device to receive an untested device from the supplying device and to provide the untested device to the servicing device, and to receive a tested device from the servicing device and to provide the tested device to the supplying device.

A method for use in a system comprising:

• slots configured to receive devices to be tested;
• a device transport mechanism to move devices between a shuttle mechanism and slots;
• a feeder to provide devices untested devices and to receive tested devices;
• and
• a shuttle mechanism to receive an untested device from the feeder and to provide the untested device to the device transport mechanism, and to receive a tested device from the device transport mechanism and to provide the tested device to the feeder;
• the method comprising:
• the shuttle mechanism receiving an untested device from the feeder;
• the device transport mechanism receiving the untested device from the shuttle mechanism;
• the device transport mechanism removing a tested device from a slot and inserting the untested device into the slot;
• and
• the device transport mechanism providing the tested device to the shuttle mechanism.

One or more non-transitory machine-readable storage media storing executable instructions to control a system comprising:

• slots configured to receive devices to be tested;
• a device transport mechanism to move devices between a shuttle mechanism and slots;
• a feeder to provide devices untested devices and to receive tested devices;
• and
• a shuttle mechanism to receive an untested device from the feeder and to provide the untested device to the device transport mechanism, and to receive a tested device from the device transport mechanism and to provide the tested device to the feeder;
• the instructions being executable by one or more processing devices to coordinate operations comprising:
• the second receiving an untested device from the servicing device;
• the servicing device removing a tested device from the slot;
• and
• the servicing device inserting the untested device in the slot.

A method for use in a system comprising:

• slots configured to receive devices to be tested;
• a supplying device to provide devices to be tested and to receive devices that have been tested;
• and
• a servicing device that is movable, the servicing device comprising movable parts to move devices into, and out of, the slots;
• a transportation device that is movable between the supplying device and the servicing device, the transportation device to receive an untested device from the supplying device and to provide the untested device to the servicing device, and to receive a tested device from the servicing device and to provide the tested device to the supplying device;
• the method comprising:
• the transportation device receiving an untested device from the supplying device;
• the servicing device removing a tested device from the slot;
• the transportation device receiving the tested device from the servicing device;
• and
• the servicing device receiving the untested device from the transportation device and inserting the untested device into the slot.

• a transportation device that is movable between the supplying device and the servicing device, the transportation device to receive an untested device from the supplying device and to provide the untested device to the servicing device, and to receive a tested device from the servicing device and to provide the tested device to the supplying device;
• the instructions being executable by one or more processing devices to coordinate operations comprising:
• the transportation device receiving an untested device from the supplying device;
• the servicing device removing a tested device from the slot;
• the transportation device receiving the tested device from the servicing device;
• and
• the servicing device receiving the untested device from the transportation device and inserting the untested device into the slot.
