Estimating the term…
An automated custom power supply design and manufacturing system uses an expert system containing a set of rules, including manufacturing limitations to limit design choices and ensure feasibility and manufacturability of the design. A design interface collects specifications from a user. A complement of power components for satisfying the electrical specifications is defined and mechanical specifications for each component are provided by the system for use in creating the mechanical design. After the mechanical design is established a thermal analysis is performed and the completed design is returned to a host computer. After an order is received, a computer integrated manufacturing system generates all of the specifications required to manufacture the components for the system and the system. A multiconductor snake wiring system which uses a flexible bus structure with taps for providing connections to the components is also disclosed. An automated facility for manufacturing the snake wiring system is also described. A compact multilayer wiring structure for connecting the components and a unique process for manufacturing the wiring structure are also disclosed.
