Module and method for initializing and calibrating a product during the manufacture thereof

1. A module for initializing and calibrating a product during the manufacture of the product in a manufacturing environment, wherein the module is arranged on the product and wherein the module comprises:

a first interface for wireless data transmission between the module and the manufacturing environment,

a second interface for establishing a data connection between the module and the product,

an electrical energy source,

a data processing unit,

wherein the module is configured to supply the product at least temporarily with energy by way of the energy source, configured to establish a data connection with the product via the second interface, and configured to perform test and/or calibration routines on the product via the second interface, wherein the data processing unit generates test and/or calibration data during the performance of the test and/or calibration routines, and configured to transmit the test and/or calibration data to the manufacturing environment via the first interface.

2. The module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the module is designed to configure a software function of the product after the data connection has been established.

3. The module as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the product is supplied with energy by way of the second interface.

4. The module as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the module has a holder, and

wherein the module is attached to the product by way of the holder.

5. The module as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the holder is part of the second interface.

6. The module as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the module has a third interface for establishing a wired connection between the module and the manufacturing environment, and

wherein the third interface is designed to transmit electrical energy between the manufacturing environment and the module.

7. A method for initializing a product during the manufacture of the product in a manufacturing environment by way of a module, the method comprising:

arranging the module on the product during manufacture thereof;

activating the module;

establishing a data connection between the module and the product;

performing test and/or calibration routines on the product, wherein the data processing unit generates test and/or calibration data during the performance of the test and/or calibration routines; and

transmitting the test and/or calibration data to the manufacturing environment.

8. The method as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the manufacturing environment arranges the module on the product in the course of a manufacturing step of the product.

9. The method as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the test and/or calibration routines to be performed are transmitted to the module by the manufacturing environment.

10. The method as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the transmitted test and/or calibration routines depend on previously transmitted test and/or calibration data.

11. The method as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the manufacturing environment has at least one test station, wherein the method furthermore comprises establishing a wired connection between the test station and the module, wherein the product is supplied with electrical energy by the test station after the wired connection has been established.
