Logistics automation for rfid tobacco industry

The tobacco industry has always been the focus of attention, and various products including fieldbus, PCS, proximity switches and photoelectric detection products have been widely used in the tobacco industry. The application of BLident in cigarette factories has further improved the automation and informatization of the control system and made the control plan more perfect.

logistics automation in the tobacco industry

A major feature of tobacco production is the diversification of raw materials and products. In a cigarette factory, multiple types of cigarettes are often produced at the same time, and the cut tobacco, added flavors and packaging of different cigarettes will be different. Different main materials, auxiliary materials and finished products will share corresponding storage libraries respectively. Therefore, in the automated control of tobacco production, the automated control of the logistics system of the tobacco sheet warehouse, cut tobacco warehouse, auxiliary material warehouse, filter rod warehouse and finished product warehouse is an important part.

Comparison between RFID and barcode

Currently, most cigarette factory warehouse Logistics Management systems use barcode identification or radio frequency identification. Since the barcode can only provide a set of serial numbers as identification codes, when using the barcode identification method, all material or product information needs to be queried by accessing the upper server; when using the radio frequency identification method, because the code carrier has a large In addition to providing identification codes with user-definable lengths, the storage capacity can also record corresponding information such as product type, batch, storage date, etc., and can perform secondary verification during the storage management process of materials or products, thus Improve system reliability.

  solution

RFID series products can provide a complete set of IP 6 7 solutions. From the read-write head to the interface module, they can be installed on site, which is flexible and convenient. In fact, many cigarette factory users adopt on-site installation. At the same time, a single station supports up to 8 read-write heads, providing users with a more price-competitive solution. Originally, a storage Library required multiple RFID stations. After adopting RFID, one station solved the problem.
