Wire harness assembly systems and methods

Abstract

A system for assembling a wire harness includes a formboard. The formboard includes a routing surface configured to support wires of the wire harness during assembly. The formboard includes a plurality of route path markers defining a plurality of wire route paths on the routing surface. The formboard includes a plurality of light-emitting indicators integrated at ends of the route path markers. Pairs of the light-emitting indicators identify opposing end locations of the wire route paths. The system includes a computer configured to activate the pairs of the light-emitting indicators corresponding to wire identifications of the wires such that an activated pair of the light-emitting indicators visually guide placement of opposing ends of the wires.
