Application of RFID reader in engine assembly line

A project example is used to introduce the application and specific operations of RFID on the engine assembly line.

(1) Electronic tag initialization

①The worker enters the engine model and output information to be produced into the PC at station 0;

②The reader writes the electronic tag ID number information and completes the electronic tag initialization;

③The electronic tag with ID information written on it is put online together with the engine tray.

(2) Read and write electronic tag information

①The engine to be assembled is transported to the vicinity of the assembly station, the limit switch automatically blocks the pallet, and the reader obtains the data information and transmits it to the MES;

②According to the content of each electronic label, the Library-borrowing-machine-touch-query-intelligent-terminal-all-in-one-machine.html target='_blank'>workstation PC displays the name and model of the components that should be installed at the workstation, and cooperates with the robot or worker for correct operation;

③After completing the job, feedback the completed job information to MES.

④After the reader writes the station information in the electronic tag, the limit switch is turned on and the pallet is delivered to the next station. Based on the different processing information Stored in the tag, the engine will be delivered to subsequent workstations.

(3) Extract electronic tag information

① If the engine fails to pass the inspection, it will automatically enter the repair area. The reader will extract the written information, compare it with the relevant information stored in the MES, and display the cause of the failure, related work station solutions, etc. on the PC at the repair station;

②Enter the repair procedure, the repair is completed, and the maintenance information is written on the label;

(4) Clear electronic label information

①The reader/writer reads the information in the tag and stores it in the database;

② Clear the electronic tag information to facilitate recycling.

Field application introduction

     Summary: The characteristics of RFID technology are very suitable for engine assembly applications, and can easily solve the limitations and shortcomings of using QR codes. It can dynamically store operation content information of each workstation, realize parallel management of the assembly line, make the implementation and execution of demand planning more accurate, realize JIT, reduce the waste of time and resources, and seamlessly integrate with the Manufacturing Execution System (MES). , track the assembly information of each engine, communicate effectively with other departments, and bring considerable indirect benefits. It stores assembly data in electronic tags, reducing network setup costs. From this, we discovered the importance of RFID technology in the engine assembly line. RFID provides a good solution for technical process control and assembly information control.

     It is a national high-tech enterprise that provides identification system components and solutions based on RFID technology for industrial manufacturing. It has complete industrial site RFID system technology and solutions.

Advantages of RFID compared to other manufacturers:

1. Flexible wiring and cost saving

     In many cases, especially in factory automation production, RFID is often distributed in various environments. The RFID Reader uses POE power supply technology. One network cable transmits data and power supply at the same time, eliminating the need for expensive power supplies and the installation of power supplies. Time wasted, cost and time saved.

2. Safe and convenient

     The POE power supply end device will only power the equipment that needs power supply. Only when the equipment that needs power supply is connected, the Ethernet cable will have voltage, thus eliminating the risk of leakage on the line. Users can safely mix legacy and POE devices on the network, and these devices can coexist with existing Ethernet cables.

3. Convenient for remote management

     Like data transmission, POE can supervise and control the device by using the communication protocol modbus. This function can provide functions such as night shutdown and remote restart.
