Intelligent Manufacturing Optimization RFID Production Line Management System Solution

1. Background Introduction

With the development of the global economy, traditional manufacturing is facing the challenges of higher and higher costs and low profits. In order to improve the overall profit margin of enterprises, optimizing management processes has become one of the necessary means. In traditional manufacturing enterprises, production lines usually adopt a single-piece flow production mode, but this mode has problems such as process backlog, production cycle prediction and control difficulties, and it is difficult to meet the market's demand for diversified products and short delivery times.

In order to solve these problems, a production line management system based on RFID (radio frequency identification) technology came into being. RFID technology is a wireless communication technology that can realize automatic identification and data collection of objects. By attaching RFID electronic tags to objects and communicating with readers and writers through wireless signals, objects can be tracked and managed. The RFID production line management system uses RFID technology to automatically collect production data and equipment status data, provide real-time data for production managers, and conduct online monitoring and analysis in combination with process characteristics and related indicator parameters, thereby optimizing production processes and improving production efficiency and product quality.

2. System Architecture

The RFID production line management system is developed based on the MES (manufacturing execution system) project. It completes process flow and data collection through RFID reading and writing to solve the problem of production process control. The system architecture includes the following main components:

RFID tag: Each production item (such as raw materials, semi-finished products, and finished products) is accompanied by a unique RFID electronic tag, which Stores the basic information and identification code of the item.

RFID Reader: The RFID reader installed on the production line can communicate wirelessly with the RFID tag, read the information in the tag, and transmit it to the system database.

Database: The system stores and manages all production data and equipment status data through the database, including item information, process information, process parameters, equipment status, etc.

Monitoring center: The monitoring center is the core module of the system, responsible for real-time monitoring of data on the production line, and provides data analysis and alarm functions. Managers can view the operating status of the production line, production progress, equipment failure and other information through the monitoring center.

Terminal equipment: Terminal equipment includes computers, tablets, mobile phones, etc., which are used to interact with the system. Managers can view and operate various functions of the system through terminal equipment.

III. System Process Design

Take the clothing production line as an example, the node process of the RFID production line management system is as follows:

Raw material storage: each roll of cloth is assigned an RFID electronic tag with a unique ID number. The cutting department collects basic information at the material collection, cloth laying and cutting nodes, and uploads it to the system database.

Cutting process: The cut pieces are bundled according to the rules, and a new RFID electronic tag is assigned to the bundle list. The bundle list is associated with the cutting bed document to record the properties and process information of the pieces.

Sewing process: The sewing workshop receives the bundled pieces and performs production operations according to the information on the bundle list. Each Library-borrowing-machine-touch-query-intelligent-terminal-all-in-one-machine.html target='_blank'>workstation is equipped with an RFID reader to collect basic information and upload it to the system.

Piecework wages: After the worker completes the operation, the RFID electronic tag bundle ID number is collected and associated with the work number, and uploaded to the system as a piecework wage certificate.

Bundling process: The bundler bundles the semi-finished products completed in the previous process with the pieces of clothing with the same bundle number and transmits them to the next process.

Finished product storage: Repeat the above steps until all processes are completed, package the finished products and collect label information for storage.

IV. System Features

Real-time monitoring: The RFID production line management system can monitor various data on the production line in real time, including the location, quantity, process progress, etc. of the items, and managers can understand the operating status of the production line at any time.

Automated data collection: The system uses RFID technology to automatically collect production data and equipment status data, reduce manual intervention, and improve the accuracy and reliability of data.

Refined management: The system can perform online monitoring and analysis based on process characteristics and related indicator parameters, provide managers with refined production management methods, optimize production processes, and improve production efficiency and product quality.

Traceability: The RFID tag stores the basic information and identification code of the item, which can realize product traceability, facilitate quality management and after-sales service.

Cost savings: The RFID production line management system can optimize the production process, improve production efficiency, reduce production costs, and increase the overall profit margin of the enterprise.
