The system requires fewer setup steps, is reusable, and provides more efficient board storage than the conventional plywood and nail harness assembly method. The repositionable Quick-Build accessories improve the productivity of wire harness assembly builds by up to 18%. The accessories are more effective than nail, a magnetic, or snap-in routing fixture methods. Accessories easily twist and lock in place until you’re ready to make a change for faster routing of wires and design flexibility. Low-Volume-High-Mix (LVHM) manufacturers achieve the greatest savings due to reduced material costs –  up to 65% of layout and board builds. By reducing the number of bulky plywood boards, this board system delivers more than 50% in storage space savings. Profitability increases the more the manufacturer needs to build a variety of wire and cable assemblies (to meet different customer specifications) or for prototyping new harness designs.
