Design software which will control the automated assembly of a medical device. The machine has 24 stations and will monitor success or failure at each station and increment the product upon completion of all stations. Several stations will contain pick and place units which load and or unload product to the main assembly machine. The entire assembly consisting of twelve parts must be assembled in under four seconds. All errors and machine faults are to be displayed on the six foot marquee display. Operator control will be via several remote START - STOP buttons and the touch panel of the Panel View CRT.

The machine is running successfully and has achieved it's goal of under four second operation per part. During the course of the project, OMNI discovered and solved design issues which can cause problems when interfacing a PLC with the IMC product.
