Abstract
A method for building a product tracking data history has steps that include installing a remotely operable diagnostic tool on the product which may be remotely operated during the product manufacture process to report certain product specification data. The method also has steps of placing product assembly specifications and performance testing protocols on a central data repository for remote access by the product assembler, thereby reducing data transfer associated costs and efforts and eliminating uncertainties regarding which assembly specifications and performance test protocols are being used by an assembler.
