Abstract
A custom image processing system and method automatically verifies the validity of custom images for manufacture of information handling systems by electronically analyzing the custom image to determine its base hardware configuration, to confirm its proper configuration, and to confirm its compatibility with ordered information handling systems. Upon verification of the custom image, an automatically generated production image and customization scripts are provided to a burn rack to manufacture the information handling systems with the custom image and a desired customization level.
Claims20
A system for manufacturing custom order information handling systems according to a custom image, the system comprising:
- an order engine operable to receive a custom image associated with a custom order for information handling systems to be built according to the custom image;
- an analyzing engine interfaced with the order engine and operable to analyze the image to determine the information handling system hardware configuration that generated the image, to verify that the determined hardware configuration is compatible with the custom order hardware configuration, and to generate a production image for burning onto production information handling systems;
- and
- a burn rack interfaced with the analyzing engine and operable to copy the production image to ordered information handling systems.
A method for automated processing of custom image information handling systems, the method comprising:
- receiving a custom image associated with a custom order for information handling systems to be built according to the custom image;
- analyzing the image to determine the information handling system hardware configuration that generated the image;
- and
- verifying that the determined hardware configuration is compatible with the hardware configuration of the custom image information handling systems.
An information handling system for custom image processing to manufacture custom information handling systems in a manufacturing work flow process, the information handling system comprising:
- an order engine operable to receive a custom image for burning onto information handling systems to fulfill a custom order;
- and
- an analyzing engine interfaced with the order engine and operable to automatically generate a production image and customization script that integrates manufacture of information handling systems ordered with the custom image into the manufacturing work flow process.
