Application of RFID in Intelligent Manufacturing Mold Management

Background Introduction

Molds are the core equipment of industrial production and are known as the "mother of industry". They are widely used in various industries such as machinery, automobiles, light industry, electronics, chemicals, metallurgy, and building materials. They are important Assets of manufacturing and processing enterprises. However, the traditional manual paper recording method can no longer meet the needs of mold management. It is impossible to timely understand the use, storage, maintenance, and scrapping of molds. The management of molds directly affects the product quality and production schedule of manufacturing and processing enterprises. Therefore, it is imperative to introduce advanced information collection methods to replace the existing manual management methods.

Solution

In order to solve the problem of mold management, radio frequency identification technology (RFID) is introduced into mold management. Through contactless identification of the identified object, data information can be obtained. Compared with traditional barcode technology, RFID has the characteristics of large data capacity, contactless identification, long storage time, stain resistance and adaptability to harsh environments. It is widely used in various industries. Through RFID radio frequency identification technology, fast in and out warehouse management and inventory management can be achieved, thereby realizing functions such as fast registration, record keeping and fast search.

RFID application

Data information written into RFID chip

Write detailed data information for each mold and write it into the RFID chip. This information may include the mold's independent number, production date, mold type, processing material, maintenance time, etc. By writing data information into the RFID chip, the mold information can be Stored electronically, which is convenient for subsequent management and query.

Install RFID tag

Install the RFID tag with written data on the mold. The RFID tag can be made of durable and stable materials to ensure that it is not easily damaged or detached during the use of the mold. By installing the RFID tag, the mold can be uniquely identified, which is convenient for subsequent identification and management.

Automatic in and out of warehouse management

When the mold is in and out of the warehouse, the RFID electronic tag on the mold is read by the RFID Reader and the data is uploaded to the database to realize automatic in and out of warehouse management, reduce the time and error rate of manual operation, and improve the efficiency of in and out of warehouse. At the same time, the in and out time and location of the mold are recorded in real time, which is convenient for subsequent traceability and statistical analysis.

Quickly find molds

Through the mold query system, the location of the mold can be quickly found by the independent number of the mold. Just enter the mold number in the system to quickly locate the required mold, saving search time and improving work efficiency. At the same time, through RFID electronic tags, the status of the mold can be monitored, abnormal conditions can be discovered in time, and maintenance and replacement can be carried out in advance to avoid production delays caused by mold failure.

Maintenance record

Through the maintenance time and maintenance of each mold in the background database, the maintenance history and maintenance of each mold can be clearly understood, which is helpful to formulate reasonable maintenance plans and maintenance plans, extend the service life of the mold, and reduce failures and downtime in production. At the same time, the maintenance of the mold can be statistically analyzed to provide a reference for mold maintenance management.

By introducing RFID radio frequency identification technology, mold management can be informationized and intelligent. RFID tags can realize rapid in and out warehouse management and inventory management of molds, improve management efficiency, and quickly find molds and record maintenance conditions. The mold status can be understood in time, repaired and maintained, and the mold service life and production efficiency can be improved.

In addition to the above applications, RFID technology can also be combined with other technologies to further improve the effect of mold management. For example, it can be combined with cloud computing and Internet of Things technology to achieve remote monitoring and management of molds. By connecting RFID data with cloud databases, it can monitor the use of molds, temperature, humidity and other environmental parameters in real time, detect abnormal conditions in time and take corresponding measures. It can also remotely view the status and alarm information of molds through mobile phone apps or web interfaces, so that managers can grasp the operation of molds at any time.

In addition, RFID technology can also be combined with production planning systems to achieve intelligent scheduling and optimization of molds. By connecting RFID data with production planning systems, it can obtain the use and maintenance status of molds in real time, and schedule and optimize molds according to actual conditions, which can avoid excessive use or idleness of molds and improve production efficiency and resource utilization.
