The present invention is directed to a method and system for manufacturing
an electronic device, such as a data storage device. The method includes
generating a register including a desired device configuration. The
generated register may include a variety of data associated with the
components to be included. The register may include an identifier and
radio signal information associated with the component so that the
component may be tracked via a radio frequency identification device
(RFID) physically associated with the component. Radio signals are
monitored for signals associated with the component such as prior to
inclusion into the electronic device to prevent improper assembly. An
alert may be provided if a radio signal associated with a component
included in the desired configuration is not present. The radio signals
determined during monitoring are verified with the radio signals
associated with the components included in the register. The components
are assembled into the electronic device (or partially assembled device).
The radio signal(s) are monitored to ensure the components were actually
incorporated into the electronic device prior to proceeding with
additional production.
