Application of RFID system in production automation management

With the large-scale industrial production, the production process is constantly changing. The assembly line has been introduced a long time ago, and the same process is carried out at each fixed production station on the production line. Under the requirements of diversified production technology, RFID technology is applied in production automation management for automatic identification and data collection. Various manufacturers have also begun to adopt RFID technology to achieve real-time location tracking, Asset or personnel monitoring, production line process control and supply. Chain management and other applications.

Enterprises that do not use RFID technology for production automation management may face the following problems:

Incomplete and untimely traceability: Failure to use RFID technology may result in incomplete and untimely traceability. For example, production line managers cannot accurately grasp assets, personnel, production progress and other information in real time.

Inefficiency: Failure to use RFID technology may result in reduced traceability efficiency throughout the entire process, such as taking longer to complete the same amount of traceability work.

Unstable quality: Failure to use RFID technology for traceability may lead to unstable quality, and it is impossible to trace and verify product batches, production processes, and compliance during the production process.

solution

Application of RFID in production automation management:

1. Install RFID Readers and RFID Antennas at process points that need to be controlled on the production line, and install RFID tags on the Tooling plates or boxes that carry the products in progress.

2. Before starting production, use the production management system to match the RFID tag ID fixed on the tooling plate or material box with the production batch number, that is, use the RFID reader to read the RFID tag ID on the tooling plate or material box, and pass The barcode gun scans the production barcode, and the management system binds the RFID tag ID to the production barcode on the product.

In this way, managers can learn from the system which processes the products on the production line have gone through, accurately grasp the data, and understand product production progress and employee work conditions.

3. The current production information (such as name, number, batch, etc.) is generated in the production interface of the management software and written into the RFID tag through the RFID reader. After the writing is correct, the work-in-progress is sent to each process for production.

4. Every time the product in process reaches a controlled process point, the RFID reader will write the process content and process point information into the RFID tag, transmit the production data to the server through the network, and update the database in real time.

5. After reaching the last process point, the RFID reader reads the RFID tag information on the tooling plate or material box and sends it to the production management software. The production management software counts the number of processes for this product. If there are any omissions, the missing processes can be traced. The operator can return the product to the missing process point for rework, and if the number of processes is correct, production will be completed.

6. For finished products in process, the production management system automatically unbinds the RFID tag from the production barcode, and identifies the production barcode as a unique identification code and Stores it in the database to provide a basis for future product traceability.

User benefits

RFID technology enables batch management of data, real-time feedback of production line information, and improved management efficiency. Make the production process stable, RFID equipment can work in harsh environments, ensure data integrity and reliability, ensure stable production of production line products, understand the specific production status of products, and allocate production status in a timely manner. Real-time statistics of the production progress of each group, each station, and process provide managers with accurate data, improve production efficiency, reduce labor input, and improve the transparency and visual management of the production line.
